Our Premium Fleet and Onboard Services

Our selection of pleasure boat rentals in Corsica caters to every preference, ranging from agile motorboats for day trips to expansive luxury catamarans and motor yachts for extended stays. Each vessel comes equipped with high-end amenities, including modern navigation systems, sun lounging areas, and snorkeling gear.

Sailing Routes and Enchanting Anchorages

Corsica offers some of the most diverse coastline in the Mediterranean. Starting from the south, a popular route takes you through the Strait of Bonifacio to the breathtaking Lavezzi Islands, a granite archipelago with crystal-clear waters perfect for diving. Heading north along the western coast, you can explore the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its red volcanic cliffs and diverse marine life. For those seeking tranquility, the Gulf of Valinco provides secluded anchorages near Propriano. Whether you are looking for the vibrant social scene of Saint-Florent or the rugged isolation of the northern Cap Corse, our boats provide total freedom to explore.

Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Process

The cost of renting a pleasure 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, prices generally start from €1,500 per day for premium motorboats and can exceed €15,000 per week for luxury yachts. Factors such as fuel consumption, mooring fees in exclusive ports like Bonifacio, and optional crew tips should be factored into your budget. Our booking process is seamless: once you select your preferred dates and boat type, our consultants handle the contracts and security deposits, providing a transparent breakdown of all costs before you set sail.

Best Season and Luxury Combinations

The prime season for pleasure boat rentals in Corsica runs from late May to early October, when the Mediterranean waters are warm and the winds are generally favorable for coastal cruising. To elevate your holiday, many of our clients combine a week-long sea charter with a stay in a private luxury villa in the hills of Palombaggia. This allows you to experience both the mountainous interior of the island and its coastal splendor. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for summer dates, as availability in popular ports like Calvi and Porto-Vecchio is highly sought after by international travelers.

FAQ

What is required for pleasure boat rentals in Corsica?

To rent a pleasure boat in Corsica without a skipper, you must provide a valid international boating license (ICC) and a nautical CV detailing your experience. If you do not have a license, we provide professional skippers who can manage the vessel while you enjoy the scenery and local landmarks.

How much does it cost to rent a boat for a day in Bonifacio?

Daily rates typically start from €1,200 for a high-performance RIB or small motorboat and can go up to €4,500 for a luxury day cruiser. These prices usually exclude fuel and specialized catering services, which are billed separately based on your specific itinerary and requirements.

Are the Lavezzi Islands accessible with a rental boat?

Yes, the Lavezzi Islands are a highlight for anyone using pleasure boat rentals in Corsica. However, because it is a protected maritime zone, there are strict anchoring regulations. Our skippers are well-versed in these rules to ensure you can enjoy the turquoise lagoons while respecting the local environment.

Can I pick up my boat in Ajaccio and drop it off in Bastia?

One-way charters are possible but are subject to availability and a 'one-way fee' to cover the cost of returning the boat to its home base. This is a fantastic way to see the entire western coastline, including the Calanques de Piana and the Gulf of Porto, without backtracking.
