October in Greece is, frankly, one of the Mediterranean's great secrets. The summer crowds have melted away, the light turns amber and cinematic, and the Ionian Sea settles into a calm, deep blue that makes everything look like a painting. It's exactly the kind of backdrop a yacht like Volante deserves — and right now, she's available for a special discounted weekly rate throughout the month, based in Corfu.
We don't often see opportunities like this. A brand-new Azimut Grande, delivered in 2025, at a rate that reflects genuine value rather than compromise. If you've been thinking about a Greece yacht charter, this is the moment.
A Yacht Built for the Ionian
Volante is 32 metres of contemporary Italian design — sleek, purposeful, and immediately striking. Her profile turns heads in harbour, but the real revelation is stepping aboard. Natural light floods every space. The interiors have that rare quality of feeling both luxurious and genuinely liveable — understated rather than showy, which is exactly what you want when you're spending a week at sea.
Up to ten guests are accommodated across five staterooms. The full-beam Owner's Suite with panoramic views is, in our opinion, one of the finest cabins afloat at this size — a proper private sanctuary rather than just a large bed in a small room. The four guest staterooms carry the same philosophy: everything considered, nothing superfluous.
On deck, the exterior spaces are genuinely expansive. Long alfresco lunches on the aft deck, sundowners on the flybridge as Corfu's old town glows behind you, lazy mornings on the sundeck with nothing but sea in every direction. These are the moments a luxury yacht charter should deliver — and Volante is built around them.
Speed, Range, and the Ionian Islands
Twin MTU engines push Volante to a top speed of 26 knots, which changes the maths on where you can go in a week. The Ionian is endlessly generous: Corfu's Venetian harbours and secret coves, the wild beauty of Paxos and Anti-Paxos, the turquoise shallows of Lefkada, the mythic shores of Ithaca. From Corfu, all of it is within comfortable reach — and at cruising speed, you can be anchored in a deserted bay before lunch and in a lively harbour town by evening.
A crew of seven handles everything with the kind of seamless professionalism that makes a private yacht charter feel effortless. You focus on the horizon. They handle everything else.
Volante R — The Chase Boat That Changes Everything
Here's where the experience steps up considerably. Alongside the main yacht, Volante comes with her own dedicated 45ft chase boat — Volante R. Most yachts this size simply don't have this. It means stylish tender runs to difficult-to-access beaches, spontaneous watersports sessions well away from the main yacht, a separate platform for guests who want to explore while others stay anchored in the bay. The freedom it unlocks is genuinely significant.
Think of it less as a tender and more as a second yacht — one that extends the range and flexibility of your entire charter holiday in ways that are hard to put a number on.
October in Corfu: The Best-Kept Secret on the Ionian
Corfu in October is something else entirely. The island is quieter, cooler in the best possible way, and draped in an early-autumn light that photographers would sell their cameras for. The old town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — belongs to you again. The fish tavernas are relaxed, the anchorages are uncrowded, and the sea temperature is still warm enough for swimming well into the month.
The Ionian in late season rewards those who know. The winds are manageable, the visibility is extraordinary, and there's a particular magic to having these islands largely to yourself. A luxury charter holiday here in October feels like a genuine discovery — the kind of trip people talk about for years.
Volante is available from 3–31 October. She won't stay open for long at this rate — new yachts of this quality rarely do. Get in touch with our team and we'll take care of the rest.
