Practical guidance for planning a private or semi-private Almyra cruise in Corfu.
Final prices, capacity, payment and cancellation terms are confirmed in writing for the selected cruise before a booking is completed.
What is the difference between a private and a semi-private cruise?
A private cruise reserves the yacht for your own group and allows more personal planning. A semi-private cruise is shared with a limited number of other guests while keeping a more relaxed format than a large tour boat.
Which cruise is right for us?
Choose according to your preferred departure point, available time and destinations. Paxos and Antipaxos suit a full island day, Sivota and Blue Lagoon focus on mainland bays, and the sunset cruise offers a shorter evening experience. Send us your date and group details if you would like help choosing.
Where do Almyra cruises depart from?
The confirmed private routes depart from Lefkimmi Port in South Corfu. The semi-private Paxos and Antipaxos service departs from Benitses Marina. The exact meeting point and boarding time are supplied with your booking confirmation.
Can we arrange a birthday or another private event?
Yes. The eight-hour Private Event Cruise is designed for birthdays, anniversaries and meaningful occasions. Tell us about your group and the atmosphere you want so the practical plan can be discussed before booking.
What information should I send with my enquiry?
Your preferred date, number of guests, cruise choice, contact details and any special requests are the best starting point. For private cruises, you may also tell us which destinations or pace appeal to you.
What is the cancellation policy?
The client's final payment and cancellation policy has not yet been supplied for publication. The applicable terms will be sent clearly in writing before you confirm and pay for a booking.
What should I wear?
Bring swimwear, light comfortable clothing, sunglasses, a sunhat and high-protection sunscreen. A light layer is useful for an evening cruise or when a breeze develops on the return journey.
What footwear is suitable on the yacht?
Choose flat, secure footwear such as sandals or trainers with a low, non-slip sole. Follow the crew's instructions regarding footwear when boarding and moving around the yacht.
Are food and drinks included?
Inclusions differ by cruise. Confirmed route pages may list refreshments, water, fruit, snacks or other onboard service. Your booking message will state exactly what is included and whether outside food or drinks may be brought aboard.
Is snorkelling equipment available?
Snorkelling equipment is included on the detailed private Paxos and Sivota routes supplied by the client. For another cruise, request confirmation with availability so the correct equipment can be prepared.
Will my mobile phone work at sea?
Mobile reception can be available near the coast, but coverage varies by network, route and location. Do not rely on continuous signal or onboard Wi-Fi during the entire cruise.
Can dietary or medical requirements be accommodated?
Tell us before booking about allergies, dietary requirements, medication that needs special storage or any medical consideration. The team will confirm what can safely and practically be supported on the selected cruise.
Can the itinerary change because of weather?
Yes. Sea state, wind and safety can require changes to the order of stops, the route or the final destination. The captain's decision always takes priority, and any important update will be explained as early as possible.
Can a private itinerary be tailored?
Preferences can be discussed for a private cruise, including the pace and the places that interest you most. The final plan remains subject to available time, weather, sea conditions and the captain's guidance.
Do we need to follow the captain's instructions?
Yes. Every guest must follow the safety briefing and the captain's instructions while boarding, cruising, swimming and returning to the yacht.
What happens if the cruise cannot operate?
The team will contact you using the details supplied with your booking and explain the available options under Almyra's confirmed booking terms. The final rescheduling and refund policy will be published once approved by the client.
Can children or infants join a cruise?
Age, safety equipment and the suitability of a specific route must be confirmed before booking. Send the ages of all children in your group so the team can advise you correctly.
Can I travel while pregnant?
Please seek advice from your doctor and tell the team before booking. Suitability depends on the stage of pregnancy, personal health, route and expected sea conditions, and the captain may make the final safety decision.
What if a guest has limited mobility or another accessibility need?
Describe the guest's needs before reserving. Boarding and moving around a yacht can involve steps, narrow areas and movement at sea, so the team must assess the selected departure point and cruise individually.
Can we bring a pet?
Pet arrangements have not yet been confirmed as a general Almyra policy. Ask before booking and provide the animal's size and relevant details so the team can respond for the selected cruise.
Tell us your date, group size and the kind of Ionian experience you have in mind.
