Blue Sea Escapes 4.9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ review us on Lucia Fernandes ★★★★★ Having gone on a boat during my first time in Corfu was a memory I will never forget. The experience is unmatchable. The crew on board - John and Wendy - treated us as almost family, making me feel safe and secure on the boat. As well as this, taking us to a private island where we could paddle board and use the speed boats was something extraordinary. This truly was an unforgettable experience!! Thank you so much!! Georgie Blair ★★★★★ The most amazing experience ! A must have if you’re travelling to Corfu. John and Wendy were incredible and so friendly and gave us such one of the best days of my year. Phoebe Power ★★★★★ Such a lovely day on the boat! John and Wendy were excellent hosts, making the day really enjoyable!Definitely the best day of the holiday. AndrewH ★★★★★ John and Wendy are just perfect hosts! Lovely people who continue to live a lovely life. If you want to experience a wonderful day out on the sea DO NOT charter anyone else because they will give you the best there is. On a funny note I have buggered up Johns only day off this week where he would normally re provision the boat….. we have booked a morning game of golf instead, to be followed by a trolley dash for boat provisions before chartering them again for another day on the water!🤣….. They are that good!😎 Judi Goldstein ★★★★★ Fantastic day! Wendy and John perfect hosts. Would definitely come again. Highly recommend. Alexa Hohenberg ★★★★★ One of the things I look forward to the most every year, is going aboard Carnival with Blue Sea Escapes. It’s the best day trip, exploring all coves beaches that only a boat can access. John & Wendy are the best hosts and so much fun. By far, this trip will be the best day of your holiday. Brian Bontenbal ★★★★★ The day sailing with John and Wendy is something we will probably remember all our lives.Magnificent blue waters, really nice food, amazing kind hospitality, are just a few ways I'd like to describe our day out on Carnival.From arriving at the boat (nice flowers are a special touch), departing from the marina, having a nice chat with some good information about the surroundings to then putting the sails up for a fantastic sail, it's all been absolutely perfect!Me and my wife (to be) both loved every second.Thank you John and Wendy for creating this memory with us, you 2 are the best of the best! Ayoze Hernández ★★★★★ I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Blue Sea Escapes in Corfu! Despite the bad weather on our originally scheduled day, they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, allowing us to reschedule for a day with better weather. This really made a difference in our overall experience. My partner and I were treated to delicious food, beautiful spots, and informative explanations throughout the day. The attention to detail and the warm, friendly attitude of the them made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Corfu! You will enjoy a different view of Corfu Teenage Podcasts ★★★★★ Megan Gallagher ★★★★★ Wow. What a day! Absolutely incredible. Amazing hosts, great boat, beautiful island. Accommodating, funny, care free trip. Thank you for the BEST day! Nuria A ★★★★★ We had an unforgettable experience with Blue Sea Escape! From the very beginning, the communication was excellent and they were incredibly accommodating. Despite a bad weather forecast, John & Wendy made sure we had a great time, inviting us to relax with wine and conversation. What started as a casual chat turned into an amazing day sailing, swimming, and enjoying the beautiful Greek scenery when the weather was better. The perfect way to end our holiday—great company, delicious food, and breathtaking views, nothing was missed. Highly recommend!Thank you John & Wendy Mark Hessey ★★★★★ We had a fantastic day with John cruising up the East side of Corfu recently. He was the perfect host, offering drinks and lovely nibbles and was a great guide to the geography of the area. We even managed to see a little pod of dolphins that gave us a display alongside the boat, which was really special and John said was unusual. The boat was very clean, comfortable and well provided for with a SUP, snorkelling gear and even a fishing rod. So do yourself a favour, just book it and you will have a great time. James Stobart ★★★★★ A beautiful yacht, perfectly designed for a days cruising along the coast of eastern Corfu. John and Wendy are wonderful hosts, with a never ending supply of food and drink.We sailed down past Corfu town and onto Vidos. A small island just off the coast were we swam and snorkelled in the surprisingly warm sea amongst a myriad of colourful fish.We traveled further down past the Venetian fort and past the house used in the filming of the Durrells.Turning back along the coast we then moored off Kerasia beach for a fabulous lunch of typical corfiot mezze and copious glasses of Rose.Such a truly relaxing day with good company and stunning views back to the island. Beautiful villas which only appreciated from the sea and the mountains behind the villages hugging the coastline.We can’t recommend this more if you want to experience Corfu by boat. Alex R ★★★★★ 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. Ben Nicholson ★★★★★ 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!! Daniel Carroll ★★★★★ We had the most magical time with Captain John & 1st mate Wendy. What incredible hosts & the absolute BEST way to see the Corfu coast ... & all the super yachts. We got the fishing rod out & even caught a fish. Loved the paddleboard & the multiple swims. The food was excellent & we will definitely be back next year. Could not recommend enough. This will be the best day of your holiday, for sure!!! Louise Charlton ★★★★★ John and Wendy go over and above to make your experience on Carnival outstanding. They made us feel like part of the crew and gave us a day our family won’t forget. The perfect way to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday - drinks flowed all day, with delicious food provided. Our kids (11 & 8) had the most amazing time, launching themselves off the boat into the crystal clear water, paddle boarding, snorkelling, zooming around on the tender and learning to helm the boat - they didn’t want to leave! Nothing was too much trouble - the best day of our holiday by far! Nicole Reed ★★★★★ Just came back from a wonderful boat trip around Corfu - John & Wendy were fab hosts, we really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend...paddle boarding, snorkeling and great food & drinks...thanks guys! The Reeds xx Debbie Hiron ★★★★★ 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. Saskia ★★★★★ Very good service. The boat is “yours”.You can go where you wanna go.Lovely people. Friendly And do everything to make this day the best of your holiday.John And Wendy: Thank you so much for the nice day.Greetz the family from Holland Kate Dixon ★★★★★ 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! Tara Rastrick ★★★★★ 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. Ashley Smith ★★★★★ What an incredible day out with Wendy and John. A gorgeous boat, a lovely day on the water - delicious lunch and free flowing drinks to compliment a gorgeous coastline. Could not recommend more - really lovely hosts. Stephen ★★★★★ Fantastic day on the sea with John and Wendy who looked after us so well. Explored the coastline, the island of Vidos, and experienced wonderful views of Corfu Old Town from the deck of their beautiful yacht.

Claire Wright ★★★★★ 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!!! sara colton ★★★★★ We spent the day withJohn and Wendy. It was such a fabulous adventure. We stayed in various coves and ate, drank and swam. Wendy’s lunch was to die for and my daughter can’t stop raving about her pasta salad!!!They went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed and found some fun ways to entertain the kids.We wished we could do it all over again! We will definitely do again when we come back to Corfu. Highly recommend the day trip to have fun and be pampered.

Anne Hodgson ★★★★★ 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!

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 Maurice Shnaps ★★★★★ Unbelievable day out with great folk!Home from home but at sea! Fay Barker ★★★★★ 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. Sam Harris ★★★★★ 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 David Roper ★★★★★ 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! Adrian Ruddock ★★★★★ 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. Duane Gooden ★★★★★ 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. Margaret Leach ★★★★★ 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 😊 Christina Sagoo ★★★★★ 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! Stuart Barker ★★★★★ 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.
