New Horizons III, a 2020 Sun Loft 47 sailing yacht, offers an ideal platform for discovering the Ionian Islands from her home base at D-Marin Marina Gouvia in Corfu. With seven cabins accommodating up to twelve guests, she is perfectly suited for multi-family groups or circles of friends seeking a week of shared adventure on the Greek seas. Her generous beam and thoughtful layout create comfortable living spaces both below deck and topside, where the bimini provides welcome shade during sun-soaked afternoons and the cockpit speakers set the mood as you unwind with an aperitif.

A typical week aboard unfolds with unhurried exploration of hidden anchorages and whitewashed villages. The 80-horsepower engine and bow thruster make navigation through narrow channels and tight moorings straightforward, while the autopilot allows you to settle into the rhythm of sailing. Five ensuite heads ensure mornings run smoothly, and the air conditioning keeps cabins cool during warm evenings. A well-equipped galley supports both simple suppers and more ambitious meals, with refrigeration to preserve local cheeses, olives, and wines from waterfront markets.

The Ionian waters are forgiving and rewarding—gentle breezes, sheltered bays, and a coastline dotted with family-run tavernas create an unhurried pace. Solar panels and the onboard generator provide reliable power for all your needs, while the swimming platform and tender invite spontaneous swims in crystalline coves. GPS and chart plotting keep navigation intuitive, leaving your crew free to focus on the simple pleasures: reading in the shade, swimming off the platform, or watching pelicans dive near rocky outcrops.

A week aboard New Horizons III culminates in those golden-hour moments—perhaps anchored off a quiet island, the sun descending toward Albania's distant mountains, the smell of grilled fish drifting from the galley, and twelve contented voices raising glasses to another perfect day on the water.
