Pelagos Estate · Discipline Five of SixIn the Ionian, the water is not scenery. It is the road — and how you move on it shapes the whole of a stay.
On an island, movement is not a luxury add-on — it is infrastructure. A villa on the north-east coast of Corfu is forty minutes from the airport by road and eight minutes from three of the best lunch places in Greece by boat. Owners who have their own RIB use their house differently from those who don’t, and owners who have to arrange a transfer each time mostly stop bothering.
We treat charter and transfer as a standing arrangement rather than a series of individual bookings, which is why it sits alongside staffing and maintenance rather than in a concierge brochure.
We are not a charter broker and we do not take commission from operators, brokers or marinas. Where a booking generates a fee to us from any source it is disclosed to you in writing and credited against what you pay. Our only interest is that the boat is the right boat and it is there when you land.
Every operator we use is verified for licensing, insurance and crew qualification before a client sets foot on anything. This sounds obvious. In a market where a great deal is arranged informally between people who know each other, it is not universal, and it is the single most common reason we decline to use an operator someone has recommended.
