At 99Knots, our yachts are designed to offer far more than simple transportation they are floating palaces outfitted with every conceivable comfort. Spacious sun decks, luxurious cabins, private bathrooms, and high-end amenities meet the needs of even the most discerning travelers. Our philosophy is not merely to provide a trip, but to deliver a lifestyle a different kind of daily experience where elegance meets nature, and relaxation pairs perfectly with adventure. Starting along the northern shores of Corfu, one of the first stops is Erimitis, a protected natural reserve of exceptional beauty. The landscape is lush with greenery, dotted with serene lakes and rare bird species. Approaching it from the sea unveils a stunning panorama: cascading vegetation plunging into crystal-clear waters, secluded private coves, and striking rock formations. It’s the perfect place to drop anchor for a swim or even to enjoy a refined dinner onboard, shaded by cypress trees and accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature.
Heading further north, you reach Kassiopi, a cosmopolitan village where tradition meets luxury. Its charming little harbor is often filled with yachts and leisure boats, while the narrow streets, Venetian castle, and seaside tavernas offer a chance for a short yet authentic onshore experience. Kassiopi is ideal not just for restocking provisions, but also for a tasteful night out always aligned with the understated elegance expected on a luxury voyage.
To the west lies Acharavi, one of the island’s largest beaches, stretching several kilometers. It is ideal for water sports, swimming, or simply unwinding. From the yacht’s deck, the view inland is mesmerizing: verdant mountains meet golden sands in a perfect visual symphony. This makes it an ideal spot to anchor for a midday swim, paired with a light lunch and wine, all while soaking in the Ionian tranquility.
The next iconic stop on the northern route is Sidari, home to the legendary Canal d’Amour. This natural marvel, shaped by soft sandstone, forms tunnels and passageways through the cliffs. According to local myth, couples who swim together through the canal are destined to be in love forever. From the yacht, the sight of these formations is simply striking. Here, guests can dive or explore the natural rock corridors. The area’s romantic aura enhances the overall atmosphere of a luxurious sea escape.
One of the most secret and visually dramatic destinations in northern Corfu is Cape Drastis. With spectacular cliffs emerging from the sea and secluded coves accessible only by boat, it feels like a scene from a movie. The contrast between the brilliant blue of the sea and the chalky white of the cliffs is unforgettable. It’s an ideal place for sunbathing, yoga on the deck, or a private dinner set against the glowing backdrop of the setting sun, an immersive, dreamlike experience.
Another breathtaking marvel is Porto Timoni, perhaps the island’s most visually stunning natural phenomenon. It consists of two beaches joined by a narrow strip of land, surrounded by vibrant greenery. The approach by sea is magical: two different beach experiences on either side of a lush land bridge. Guests can swim or snorkel in the pristine waters, while the yacht anchors at a safe distance. Tenders ferry visitors to this paradise-like beach, offering the chance to explore both sides at leisure.
As the journey continues along the northwestern coastline, many small, untouched beaches appear true hidden gems unknown to most tourists. These isolated spots offer peace and solitude an increasingly rare luxury on popular island destinations. Here is where the yacht shines: it brings you to places inaccessible by road, for a truly private communion with nature.
One such example is Kastelli Beach, nestled below the historic Angelokastro. The imposing 13th-century fortress towers above the sea, and the tiny beach beneath it is perfect for swimming and photography. The place is steeped in history, adding a rich narrative layer to the raw beauty of the location.
The nautical tour culminates in Paleokastritsa, arguably Corfu’s most iconic coastal destination. Its emerald hills, dramatic cliffs, turquoise bays, and historic monasteries create a setting of unmatched beauty. It is the perfect final stop before returning ideal for a last swim, a seafood dinner, and a farewell glass of champagne on deck. The vivid scenery, infused with spiritual and cultural resonance, provides a memorable finale to this luxurious journey.
Northern Corfu, seen from the sea, reveals its true grandeur. Aboard a luxury yacht, the experience becomes more than just aesthetic it becomes almost existential: a deep, elemental connection with nature combined with an elevated sense of living. This journey is not just an excursion; it is a ritual of luxury, nature, culture, and independence. It redefines travel, offering not just memories, but a renewed perspective on what it means to explore, unwind, and live fully.
