PORT INFO:
All the ports we visit during the cruise, Corfu Old Port, Sivota, Parga, Antipaxos, and Paxoi (Gaios-Lakka), are public. This means that all the ports we visit are on a first-come, first-served basis. Our captains are not able to reserve a berth in advance, so the earlier we arrive at each port, the more likely we are to find a berth available. In the event of no availability, you will anchor in a mutually agreed-upon secluded cove in the area.

RESTRICTIONS:
- Bringing your own food or drinks on board is strictly forbidden.
- Late arrivals may result in overnight docking at Corfu’s Old Port if permitted by local authorities.
- The itinerary may change at the captain's discretion due to weather, docking difficulties, or unforeseen circumstances.
- The atmosphere is friendly; all crew members are on hand for meals; there is no dedicated waiter service.
- Regarding shower water, you can have a shower at any given time of the day. Keep in mind that when the gullet is docked at any of the ports we visit, the engines are turned off, the water flow is reduced, and thus there is no warm/hot water after midnight. Also, all water tanks onboard are limited, meaning hot water is likely to run out faster when multiple cabins shower at once. If this happens, and you do not have warm/hot water available, inform your operating Captain so that he can activate the water heater. After 15 to 20 minutes, you will have warm/hot water again.
- All cabin lights, showers, and toilets onboard work at 24V. Additionally, as the vessels are equipped with batteries that supply an output of 24V, there is no need for an external power supply for the electronics inside your cabin to operate.
- The onboard Wi-Fi router works only when the vessels are connected to the equivalent port’s power supply or when the onboard generator is working.
- The A/C on board works only when the generator is on and running, but unfortunately, due to local port regulations, generators are prohibited from working after midnight. Also, the power supply from the shores at Corfu, Sivota-Mourtos, and/or Plataria (weak infrastructure) is not powerful enough to operate all our A/C units simultaneously. Note: The ports we dock at, Parga, Antipaxos, Gaios & Lakka do not have electricity at all.
- Onboard cleaning service includes daily basic floor cleaning, dusting, bin changing, bathroom cleaning, and sanitization of all shared areas.
- During the weekly cruise, our stewards change sheets and bath towels once.
- The standard daily operating hours for all onboard A/C devices are up to 6 hours and do not include overnight service. For overnight A/C service, you will have to upgrade your cabin entry at an additional cost of 140€ per person.

BEFORE YOU GO, PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING:
- The only additional expense passengers need to consider are the local port fees, which all guests must pay in cash upon their arrival directly to the captain. The port fees are 80€ per person.
- Beach towels, sunscreen, your favorite book, camera, phone charger, passport and cash (€), Visa, booking confirmation, and international driving license.
