We had an absolutely spectacular trip with John aboard Carnival on our final day in Corfu. I’ve been to Greece many times and always make sure I fit in a little boat trip. This was easily the highlight of our holiday, but it was also the best boat trip we have taken! Can’t thank John enough for his knowledge, hospitality, affability and of course wonderful boat. It is impossible not to relax, the views were tremendous, and John knew all the best places to take us. Thank you so much John for making our holiday. I cannot recommend heartily enough. An absolute must. had a superb time - highly recommended!!

We had a great day with John and Wendy! It was great to have such a bespoke itinerary, meaning that we could swim and snorkel in some beautiful spots, and see parts of the island that we hadn't yet seen. They were fantastic hosts and we would thoroughly recommend the whole experience.Absolutely excellent, all 6 of us had a superb time - highly recommended!!

Well what can I say, we did some research and decided we didn’t want a boat trip with 20/30/100 people on board. So decided to go with John and Wendy. We were two families holidaying together so 4 adults and 4 kids (14,12 & 11). From the minute we met them, they made us feel like family. Couldn’t do enough for us and were amazing with our children. Sunbathing, drinking, lunch, driving the boat, swimming in the beautiful blue sea, paddle boarding, and taking us out on the little speed boat. Music playing and giving us information about the island. What else would you want.Perfect day with perfect hosts. If you want that little extra personal touch then I can’t recommend these guys enough. They were truly fantastic hosts and made it a very memorable trip, worth every euro.If we’re ever back and they’re still going, we’ll definitely be booking them again to make some more fantastic memories and holiday highlights.

This is our second trip with John and Wendy and we had another wonderful day on Carnival exploring the beautiful Corfu coastline and swimming in some stunning bays. We were again treated to a delicious meze lunch on board and there was plenty to drink throughout the day. John and Wendy are fabulous hosts, so welcoming and brilliant with the kids which makes for a truly relaxed and special day. If you do one thing on your holiday, take a trip with Blue Sea Escapes, you won’t regret it!

We had a fantastic family day with John and Wendy on their lovely boat Carnival. They made us feel very welcome and at home on their boat, taking particular care that our 11 year old was comfortable and included. A very special day as a family.

I had a great experience today with a wonderful host(John) and his friend Jo. Taken out on his yacht to different locations for swimming snorkelling. We also had fantastic food and the drinks flowed from start to finish. Would highly recommend this experience. It will make your holiday special.

Elisse S
Our family and friends had the most amazing day on the Beautiful Carnival sailing boat.
John and Wendy were so friendly and welcoming. The perfect hosts.
We felt so relaxed and some of our group even used the paddle board.
We stopped in bays to swim and had plenty of drinks and snacks and a lovely lunch on board.
It was the last day of our holiday and truly the highlight of our week in Corfu.
Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend

John and Wendy were excellent from start to finish.
Beautiful boat with everything we needed for the day out.
The trip was tailored to our desires, taking in breathtaking views of the island, with fantastic knowledge of what we were seeing.
Great to moor up in exclusive bays and have a swim or use paddle board. Food was delicious and plentiful and Wendy and John were constantly supplying drinks.
We will definitely be returning for another sail when we return to Corfu
Chris S
Our second trip on the stunning Carnival with the equally fabulous hosts John & Wendy. Nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful scenery, great weather & fantastic company!! See you again in a few months time.
Fay B
Had an amazing day out on Carnival! Such a beautiful way to see Corfu. Wendy and John are superb hosts and so easy to be with. Giving us info on the island which I’d never heard! Great food, wine and conversation with a plunge into the gorgeous water of a beautiful bay! What more could you want? !! Fabulous!
David R
This trip was fantastic. The captain (John) and Wendy were both great. They made us feel welcome from the very start. They told us about all the sites we could see. With detailed historic and even archeological facts about the area. They made delicious food for us and the sparkling wine flowed all day. Thank you for a wonderful time on this beautiful boat enjoying this great island.

We had a fabulous day on the boat with Wendy & John! With 2 young kids (a 5 year old and 18month old!) we were a bit apprehensive but we were made to feel very welcome and secure & the kids had a wonderful time! We were staying nearby at Ikos but decided to look for other options when the Ikos prices to charter were so extortionate! We were so glad we did because we felt we got a more authentic experience. Wendy & John were so knowledgeable and tailored the day to us & the boat was so well kept and looked after. Thank you so much for a wonderful day - we will be back and would highly recommend!
Christina S
We had the most amazing time. A bespoke trip that turned into an adventure with now life long friends. Highly recommend. An amazing family day out, memories, wine, good times. Wendy and John are great hosts! We will back in 2024 and no doubt for many years to come.
Stuart B
A wonderful experience: beautiful views, interesting conversations, excellent company. the trip was way above our expectations. Wendy and John are not just great hosts, after our day with them, they are also our great friends.
John M
My friends and I had a fantastic time on Carnival.
The hosts John and Wendy are both kind and very informative about Corfu and took us to The mainland to a traditional Greek Fish Restaurant with the best seafood ever.
I also went again the following year with my family to a different restaurant with beautiful Scenery and we swam off the boat too. I totally recommend them.
Amanda N
If you only have a few days in Corfu, make sure one of them is aboard the stylish yacht, Carnival. The operators are an English couple who have been here for years and really know the best views and hidden gems of Corfu.
After a gentle cruise with stunning photo opportunities, we were soon dipping our toes in the azure blue water of a quiet idyllic bay. Swimming, snorkelling or simply lazing about on deck made the perfect afternoon - with the petals of Carnival's signature flower displays floating around us!
John really knows boats and Wendy provides the most sumptuous lunch. To finish your day, ask them to recommend the best evening dining experiences… you won't be disappointed.
All in all, the best day in Corfu hands down.
Eloise J
I've had several trips on Carnival and every one of them has been great. John and Wendy are amazing hosts, they go out of their way to make sure you have the best day.
The food, their company and Carnival, have made wonderful memories for us and I can only say that if you're thinking of booking, just do it.
Leah N
Michael & I absolutely loved our day out Saling on your beautiful boat. You were such amazing hosts, nothing was too much trouble & we enjoyed every single minute. A really perfect day where we could just relax or stop off for swimming & the most wonderful lunch at places you could only access by boats, therefor avoiding crowds & seeing wonderful things like Dolphins swimming by.
We would recommend having this truly lovely experience to everyone, thank you John & Wendy

A special day. The boat is extremely comfortable and spacious (to the extent that my 6ft 8 husband can stand up inside!). Wendy and John could not have been more welcoming or attentive, and were absolutely focused on ensuring we had a wonderful day. The lunch was amazing, wine and beer flowed and our two teenage girls loved diving off the boat and using the paddle boards. The scenery was gorgeous and we found lots of quiet bays to explore. Would recommend without reservation!!!

If you go on holiday to the Isle of CorfuThere are a couple of things you really should do.Take one day of your trip if you so pleaseHop on Dear Carnival and take to the seasShe’s a delightful 45 feet of pure nautical classAnd the day starts well with plenty of fizz in a glass.She’ll take you north or south past oldCorfu townThe wine will flow and you’re sure not to frownThe anchor will drop in the clearest blue sea,Where you can swim and snorkel (and have a pee!).The paddle board needs some chain and some ropeBefore getting to your feet is remotely a hope.You’ll see Corfu from the sea and the beautiful coastWhile John is the skipper and Wendy the host,The lunch is superb, hospitality second to none,When the mankinis come out you’ve matched our fun!If the gods of the wind look upon you and smileYou’ll Hoist up that sail and cover a nautical mileWhatever the weather- which is sure to be sunOn Dear Carnival you’re guaranteed to have fun.So thank you Wendy and John for a wonderful dayAnd welcoming us to your boat in the warmest way.It was a fantastic day- we’d do again in a flashBut we went to Oliva restaurant and now have no cash!!!
Gina W
Thanks to John and Wendy for a wonderful day out, a gentle cruise up the NE coast with perfect spots chosen for swimming, an excellent lunch, back down to Kontokali Bay and fabulous views of Corfu town. Finished the day with a run across to Vidos Island, and an unsuccessful attempt to master the paddle board ! Perhaps we'll manage that bit next time! Would thoroughly recommend this very professional and friendly day out.
Anne H
Wendy and John were the most wonderful hosts. We had the most lovely day on the boat. It was definitely the best day of our holiday! A beautiful way to see the island. Wendy and John are so accommodating and made all the difference to our trip. Would highly recommend if you want to make your trip really special. Thank you so much!
Sophie J
Unbelievable day out with great folk!
Home from home but at sea!
Maurice S
John and Wendy said their aim was to give us the best day of our holiday. This was comfortably achieved. We were brilliantly looked after and were able to create a day of our own. Didn’t feel anything like your typical ‘tour’ with a guide droning on and on about various landmarks, but a quality day out on the sea with some fantastic company, not to mention the brilliant food and drink which came from a what felt like a Tardis of a fridge in the boat. Carnival has earned a special place in my heart. The trip exceeded expectations massively. Priceless. 10/10
Sam H
Wonderful day out. Was very special and perfectly organised. Lovely people and felt very safe. Would love to do this again.
We came back to a rainbow across the marina which was a great end to a perfect day.
Adrian R
We had a fabulous day cruise aboard Carnival with hosts John & Wendy.
Their hospitality and local knowledge was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed their company.
We went to two beautiful local bays, Agni and Kalami where we anchored and were able to swim off the back of the boat.
It was stunning.
We also went ashore to visit one of the beach Tavernas.
Such a magical day and a highlight of our holiday - would absolutely recommend to others - it a great way to explore the beautiful bays of Corfu.
Can’t wait to visit again
Margaret L
We had a fantastic time with John and Wendy. They made us feel extremely welcome and at home, and ensured we had a fantastic day out on the water. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back!
Issac L
We had a wonderful truly memorable day with John and Wendy. Swimming, relaxing and seeing the beautiful seascape from on board ship was a real treat. John and Wendy were so hospitable and thought of everything.
Joanna M
Whilst staying at the wonderful Kontokali Bay Hotel we chartered the sailing yacht Carnival for the day.We can wholeheartedly recommend the experience, being looked after by the most convivial, friendly and hospitable hosts John and Wendy made for a relaxing and enjoyable time. Their knowledge of the local waters found us in the most beautiful bays and out at sea tasting not only Wendy's fabulous food but also the joy of being under sail. We are looking forward to doing the same again with them when we next return to Corfu.
Robert and Victoria, Surrey
What an appropriate name for this beautiful day with John and Wendy on Carnival! I can truly recommend a day cruising on Carnival.
We felt totally safe in their care taking us to idyllic swimming spots we never would have been able to enjoy without their local knowledge . We had a fabulous day sailing and are looking forward to our next day out on Carnival when we holiday in Corfu next summer.
Nina M
Our day on Carnival was terrific - all the family enjoyed the experience - a real contrast from the average day trip. We sailed to beaches inaccessible by road, got to help sail and navigate the boat - John was so knowledgeable and patient (although some of us just enjoyed the deck and the views!).
Thank you Wendy for a lovely lunch and for being so hospitable - all those lovely touches made our day just great. Wish we could do it all over again!
Les B
We have been on Carnival quite a few times and can honestly say we both enjoyed ourselves enormously, Wendy and John are very generous hosts and we had a lot of fun.
They are very knowledgeable of the area and took us to places we would never have found by ourselves. We highly recommend the Carnival experience.
Mike and Angela D
We highly recommend a voyage on Carnival for a family group, having spent a day on board in June with friends and family. From the warm greeting and champagne on our arrival, to plenty of sailing, swimming and diving, to the gentle run home watching dolphins, we all had a very fine time. The crew have such detailed local knowledge and took us to deserted coves and for lunch in a beautiful beach restaurant. So much fun. Thank you Wendy and John!
