How to Book a Private Yacht Cruise: Step by Step for First-Timers
Planning your first private yacht cruise might feel overwhelming at first. But in reality, it’s much easier than you think especially when you choose the right company. At 99Knots, we specialize in creating smooth, fully tailored yachting experiences around Corfu and the Ionian Sea. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, a family, or a small group of friends, booking a private yacht with us is simple and stress-free.
Here’s how it works.
1. Think About Your Ideal Trip
Start by asking yourself a few simple questions:
- How many people will be joining?
- Do you prefer a day cruise or a multi-day charter?
- Are you looking for full relaxation or active adventures like snorkeling, SUP, or exploring villages?
At 99Knots, we help shape your answers into a real itinerary. Even if you’re unsure, our team is ready to guide you.
2. Browse Yachts and Packages
We offer a carefully curated fleet of luxury motor yachts, each with a dedicated crew. You can browse our options online at 99Knots.com or speak directly with our local Corfu team.
Each boat listing shows:
- Capacity
- Layout
- Onboard amenities
- Suggested routes
- Available dates
3. Choose Your Dates
Private yacht cruises are flexible. You can book:
- Half-day cruises
- Full-day trips
- Sunset cruises
- Multi-day charters around Corfu, Paxos, or the Ionian
We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance during summer. For special occasions like honeymoons or birthdays, earlier is even better.
4. Customize Your Experience
This is where the magic happens. With 99Knots, every cruise is custom. You can choose:
- A romantic sunset setup
- A lunch stop at a seaside taverna
- Onboard meals or drinks
- Water activities (snorkeling, paddleboards, etc.)
- Visits to secret beaches or hidden caves
Tell us what you imagine, and we make it real.
5. Confirm and Pay Securely
Once we finalize your date, route, and preferences:
- We send you a confirmation email
- You review and approve the final itinerary
- You make a secure deposit (or full payment, depending on how soon your cruise is)
We accept all major cards and bank transfers. No hidden fees. Full transparency.
6. Show Up and Enjoy
Your yacht will be waiting, fully prepared, with your crew ready to welcome you. You just bring your swimsuit, camera, and sense of adventure.
