Marina Gouvia - Safe Port in the Ionian Sea

The marina is situated about 4 kilometres away from the town centre and 8 kilometres away from the airport of Corfu.

Location & Approach
You can find the Gouvia marina in the town with the same name which lies on the northeastern shore of the island of Corfu, on what many boatmen consider to be the border between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.

Not only is it the first privately owned marinas in Greece, but it’s also one of the most famous in the world because it acts as a gateway to the Adriatic and is very close to a number of destinations such as Paxos, the Diapontian islands and Syvota. It’s also close to the port of Corfu and the international Airport Ioannis Kapodistrias. It sits in a very safe bay and has served as a harbor since ancient times. The marina was built in 1996 and today it can house some 960 yachts on the water alone.

The channel entry into the marina is marked with two green and two red lights. All skippers wishing to enter must contact the marina on radio channel 69 VHF. Full assistance is offered from the marina’s personnel.

Infrastructure & Ambience
The total capacity of the marina is an astounding 1100, but there are also an additional 520 spaces within the dry dock facilities. The services offered by this marina are the very best and their range is about the widest you can get at sea today. The moorings are for boats up to 80m in length and have a draught up to 5.5m.

The technical support offered at Marina Gouvia is in itself quite impressive. From bodywork to paint and underwater repairs and inspections (and everything in between – mechanical, electrical, electronic, carpentry, upholstery and sails), the staff here is fully equipped to handle all your needs, including a 65t travel lift and a 45t wheel crane.

The customer area includes lots of stores, boat, car and motorbike rental agencies, a number of bars and restaurants, a gas station, a supermarket, a laundry service, pool access, sports facilities and many more. You’ll really feel spoilt for options while here.

The region is full of top hotels in case you want to see more of the island, and there is the added option of using traditional accommodation. You can engage in a number of sports, including tennis, cricket (Corfu’s favorite sport), horse riding and golf. On water, there are just as many options.
