Hi there! I'm Captain Rick Driscoll - former RYA sailing instructor, professional skipper, Yacht Master, and yep, a former pop star and musician too!

I've been lucky enough to run family sailing holidays and sail training here on the beautiful Ionian Island of Corfu for the last 17 years, so when it comes to sailing around this stunning area, I know all the secret spots.
From the best anchorages for a peaceful night to hidden swimming coves and top places to eat (many of our guests even call our trips a Fine Dining Gastro Tour),

I'm here to make sure you have the best time possible.

Why Sail Blue Planet

There's one very important difference about a sailing holiday with us.

Because we're just one yacht and one skipper serving a maximum of 6 guests, we can be much more relaxed and flexible about where we go and what we do.

What's more, you get real value for money - because (unlike bigger companies), we won't cut your sailing short just to get the "best" berths in the harbour.

There's no strict schedule, no being bossed around - this is a client-led holiday and your wishes come first.

Sailing Area

Corfu is the most northerly island in the Ionian with gin clear waters, scenic harbours and picture perfect anchorages.

The sailing area is largely sheltered by Corfu, Paxos and Anti-Paxos.  Defined by rugged mountains and a resort-studded shoreline, its cultural heritage reflects years spent under Venetian, French and British rule before it was united with Greece in 1864. Corfu Town, flanked by 2 imposing Venetian fortresses, features winding medieval lanes, a French-style arcade and the grand Palace of St. Michael and St. George.

We had a fabulous week with Capt Rick. Starting as complete novices, we learned so much and came away feeling 'competent', enthusiastic and having had a fantastic holiday. Capt Rick knows all the best restaurants and spots on and around Corfu…so many amazing meals, great stories and lots of G&Ts on deck at sundown.
