Private Yacht Charters in Corfu
Paxos and Antipaxos Boat Trip from Corfu
Spend a full day on the water visiting quiet bays, sea caves, and the famous beaches of Paxos and Antipaxos.
Paxos and Antipaxos
Two Islands in One Relaxed Day
Paxos and Antipaxos give you sea caves and famous beaches like Vrika and Voutoumi in one unforgettable day from Corfu. Many guests call this the standout memory of their whole trip, because it feels like sailing into postcards instead of just looking at them.
Paxos is the larger island, south of Corfu. Its eastern shoreline holds the village harbours of Gaios and Lakka in relatively sheltered coves, while the western coast is dramatic pale limestone cliffs and sea caves. Antipaxos is smaller and known for its swimming beaches.

The Stops
Where the Day Can Take You
The day is shaped around one scenic coastal experience, a generous swim and perhaps a village stop. Which stops you visit depends on sea conditions and the skipper's plan for the day.
Voutoumi and Vrika are the swimming beaches of Antipaxos. The Blue Caves and Tripitos Arch line the dramatic western coast of Paxos, while Gaios offers a harbour and village stop on the sheltered east.
Swim Stops
A Generous Swim in Turquoise Water
If clear water is the dream, reserve meaningful time for Antipaxos. Its beaches are the swimming highlight of the day.
- Voutoumi Bay, with photogenic white sand and turquoise water
- Vrika Beach, a sandy Antipaxos favourite for swimming
- Swim stops chosen for calm, clear water on the day
- Discuss the best stop with your skipper rather than treating one beach as guaranteed
Both beaches are beautiful, but each shoreline can feel different depending on sea state and boat traffic.
