Valkyrie, a 2023 Oceanis 40.1, awaits you at D-Marin Marina Gouvia in Corfu, Greece—a sailing base perfectly positioned for exploring the Ionian Sea's emerald waters and hidden anchorages. This four-cabin sailboat sleeps up to ten guests across two en-suite heads, making her ideal for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking a week of unhurried Mediterranean sailing. With her modern design and responsive 45 HP engine, Valkyrie balances the romance of sail with the practicality needed to make the most of your time on the water.

A typical week aboard unfolds with morning departures from Gouvia's sheltered marina toward quiet coves and whitewashed villages dotting the Ionian islands. The boat's well-appointed interior keeps everyone comfortable: a refrigerator stocked with local produce and wine, GPS and chart plotter for confident navigation, and solar panels ensuring reliable power even when anchored far from shore. Topside, the sprayhood provides shelter during morning departures, while cushioned cockpit seating transforms long sailing days into moments of genuine ease. The bow thruster makes close-quarters maneuvering effortless, and the onboard dinghy opens access to secluded beaches and waterfront tavernas unreachable by larger vessels.

Evenings settle into a gentle rhythm—dropping anchor in crystalline bays, preparing dinner with ingredients from village markets, and watching the sun melt into the horizon. The radio-CD player provides soundtrack to quiet nights, while the autopilot grants you freedom to relax on deck rather than standing watch. Whether you're an experienced sailor or discovering sailing for the first time, Valkyrie's intuitive systems and spacious layout ensure everyone aboard finds their rhythm. A week on this boat isn't simply a holiday; it's a return to the unhurried pace of Mediterranean life, where your only schedule is the wind and the light.
