Our Premium Fleet for Licensed Skippers
Our inventory of certified boat rentals in Corsica is designed for discerning sailors who prioritize performance and elegance. We offer a wide range of vessels, including high-performance RIBs for day trips to secluded coves, sleek motor yachts for rapid coastal transit, and spacious catamarans perfect for week-long family adventures.

Cruising the Corsican Coastline
Corsica offers some of the most diverse sailing grounds in Europe. Starting from the vibrant Port of Ajaccio, you can head south toward the Valinco Gulf or navigate the stunning Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site. For those seeking iconic views, the southern tip near Bonifacio provides a breathtaking backdrop of limestone cliffs and the nearby Lavezzi Islands, which offer crystalline waters perfect for snorkeling. If you prefer the north, the Gulf of Saint-Florent serves as a gateway to the untouched beaches of Saleccia and Loto. Our local experts can help you plan a bespoke itinerary that avoids the crowds and highlights the island's hidden gems.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of renting a boat in Corsica varies based on the season, the size of the vessel, and the duration of the charter. During the peak months of July and August, daily rates for premium motorboats typically start from €800, while luxury catamarans can range from €5,000 to over €15,000 per week. Prices generally include insurance and VAT, while fuel, mooring fees in marinas like Porto-Vecchio, and optional extras like water toys are billed separately. Our booking process is straightforward: once you select your vessel and provide proof of your nautical license, we handle the contracts and security deposits via our secure platform, ensuring a hassle-free start to your holiday.
Expert Tips for Your Corsican Charter
To make the most of your time on the water, we recommend visiting during the shoulder seasons of June or September, when the weather is warm and the popular anchorages are less crowded. Corsica is famous for its 'thermal breezes,' which are ideal for sailing but require attentive navigation. For a truly integrated luxury experience, many of our clients combine their maritime adventure with a stay in one of our exclusive hillside villas in Sperone or Palombaggia. Always check the local 'Météo-France' marine forecasts daily, as the Strait of Bonifacio can experience sudden wind changes that require experienced handling and respect for the sea's power.

FAQ
What qualifications do I need for certified boat rentals in Corsica?
To access our certified boat rentals, you must present a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognized national sailing license that matches the vessel's specifications. For motorboats exceeding 6 horsepower, a coastal license is mandatory in French waters. Our team will verify your credentials during the booking process to ensure compliance with local maritime laws.
Are fuel costs included in the rental price?
No, fuel is typically not included in the initial charter fee. Your boat will be provided with a full tank, and you are expected to return it full. Alternatively, the fuel consumed will be calculated upon your return and deducted from your security deposit or paid directly at the marina fuel station in Ajaccio or Bonifacio.
Can I rent a boat for just a single day in Corsica?
Yes, we offer daily rentals for many of our smaller motor yachts and RIBs, particularly during the low and mid-season. However, for larger catamarans and luxury yachts during the peak summer weeks, there is often a minimum booking period of seven days, usually running from Saturday to Saturday. Please contact us for specific availability.
What happens if the weather is too rough for sailing?
Safety is our absolute priority. If the port authorities issue a weather warning or if conditions are deemed unsafe by our base managers, we will work with you to reschedule your charter. If rescheduling is not possible due to your travel dates, we offer credit notes or refunds depending on the specific terms of your rental agreement.
