Charter & Rent a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica: 2026 Guide, Prices & Routes
Technical Specifications: Custom Line Navetta 33
The Custom Line Navetta 33 is widely regarded as one of the most successful semi-displacement yachts in its class. Built by the Ferretti Group, it focuses on volume, silence, and fuel efficiency rather than raw speed. This makes it an ideal platform for those who prioritize the journey as much as the destination.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Overall Length | 33.00 Meters (108' 3") |
| Beam | 7.52 Meters (24' 8") |
| Draft | 2.18 Meters (7' 2") |
| Cabins | 5 (Master on Main Deck, 4 VIP/Twin below) |
| Berths / Guests | 10 - 12 (depending on Pullman berths) |
| Engines | 2 x MAN V12 (1,400 hp or 1,622 hp) |
| Fuel Capacity | 20,000 Liters |
| Water Capacity | 3,100 Liters |
One of the standout features of the Navetta 33 is the patented Dual Mode Transom (DMT) system, which allows the garage door to open in two ways, creating a massive beach club area at the water's edge—a feature usually reserved for much larger superyachts.
Why the Navetta 33 is Perfect for Corsica
Corsica’s coastline is famously rugged, featuring deep gulfs, dramatic cliffs, and hidden turquoise coves. When renting a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica, you benefit from its 2.18-meter draft, which is remarkably shallow for a yacht of this volume. This allows the captain to navigate closer to the shoreline in areas like the Lavezzi Islands or the Gulf of Valinco than larger steel-hulled vessels.
The yacht’s stabilization system, featuring both zero-speed fins and Seakeeper gyros, is essential for the Corsican sea state. While the summer months are generally calm, the "Libeccio" wind can occasionally create a swell. The Navetta 33 remains incredibly stable at anchor, ensuring that your morning espresso or evening cocktails are never interrupted by the motion of the sea. Furthermore, the expansive sun deck with its optional jacuzzi provides 360-degree views of the Bonifacio cliffs, a sight that is best appreciated from an elevated vantage point.

Curated Itineraries from Ajaccio and Bonifacio
Most luxury charters begin in Ajaccio (the capital) or Bonifacio (the southernmost tip). Here is how you might spend your time when chartering a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica.
1-Day "Southern Highlights" Itinerary
Depart from Port de Bonifacio, navigating beneath the famous "King of Aragon's Stairway." Head east to the Îles Lavezzi, a marine reserve of granite boulders and crystal-clear lagoons. Spend the afternoon anchored in Roccapina, famous for its lion-shaped rock formation, before returning to Bonifacio for a sunset dinner on the flybridge.
7-Day "Isle of Beauty" Grand Tour
- Day 1: Ajaccio to Propriano. Explore the Sanguinaires Islands before heading south to the Gulf of Valinco.
- Day 2: Bonifacio. Enter the most dramatic harbor in the Mediterranean, tucked inside a narrow limestone fjord.
- Day 3: Lavezzi & Cavallo. Spend the day snorkeling in the turquoise waters of the Strait of Bonifacio.
- Day 4: Porto-Vecchio. Anchor in Santa Giulia or Palombaggia, often cited as the most beautiful beaches in Europe.
- Day 5: Gulf of Porto & Scandola. A UNESCO World Heritage site known for red volcanic cliffs and hidden sea caves.
- Day 6: Calvi. Visit the historic citadel and enjoy the vibrant nightlife in the marina.
- Day 7: Saint-Florent. Explore the "Desert des Agriates" and the pristine Saleccia beach before disembarkation.
Marinas and Berthing Logistics in Corsica
Corsica offers a variety of world-class marinas, but berthing a 33-meter yacht requires advanced planning, especially in July and August. Port Tino Rossi in Ajaccio is the primary hub for larger yachts, offering excellent infrastructure and proximity to the airport. Bonifacio Marina is the most sought-after location; however, space is extremely limited for yachts over 30 meters, so early booking is essential.
Port-Vecchio offers a more sheltered bay and is a favorite for those visiting the high-end boutiques and beach clubs of the southeast. If you prefer seclusion, the Navetta 33 is excellently equipped for "at-anchor" living, with high-capacity watermakers and generators that allow you to stay in remote bays like the Golfe de Girolata for several days without needing to dock.
What is Included in Your Charter?
When you rent a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica, the contract is typically based on MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) terms. The base price includes the hire of the yacht, the professional crew (usually 5-6 members including a private chef), and the yacht’s insurance.
Additional costs include:
- Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA): Usually 30-35% of the charter fee, used to cover fuel, food, beverages, and berthing fees.
- VAT: In French waters (Corsica), VAT is applicable on the charter fee.
- Fuel: Calculated based on engine hours and current market prices.
- Gratuity: While at the client's discretion, 10-15% of the base charter fee is customary for excellent service.

Best Months and Sea Conditions
The peak season for chartering a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica runs from late June to early September. During this time, the sea temperature averages a comfortable 24°C to 26°C. However, the "shoulder" months of June and September are often preferred by seasoned yachties; the crowds are thinner, the marinas are easier to book, and the weather remains warm and sunny.
The West Coast of Corsica is more exposed to the Mistral and Libeccio winds. The Navetta 33’s heavy displacement hull is an advantage here, providing a smoother ride than lighter, planning-hull yachts. The East Coast is generally flatter and more protected, ideal for long stretches of cruising and water sports activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is renting a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica suitable for families with children?
Absolutely. The Navetta 33 is designed with safety and comfort in mind. The wide side decks, high bulwarks, and stabilizing systems make it very safe for younger children. The crew typically includes members experienced in water sports and child-friendly entertainment.
What is the benefit of chartering a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica over a faster motor yacht?
The primary benefit is volume and silence. The Navetta 33 offers significantly more interior and exterior living space than a 33-meter "fast" yacht. It also features a specialized exhaust system that makes cruising incredibly quiet, allowing for peaceful conversations even while underway.
Can I cruise to Sardinia while renting a Custom Line Navetta 33 in Corsica?
Yes, the proximity of Bonifacio to the Sardinian port of Santa Teresa Gallura (only 12 nautical miles) makes it very easy to combine both islands in a single week. However, please note that different tax regulations may apply when crossing international maritime borders.
What water toys are typically available on a Navetta 33?
While each yacht is individually owned, a Custom Line Navetta 33 usually carries a high-powered Williams jet tender, SeaBobs, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and often a jet ski. The beach club area provides the perfect staging ground for these activities.
