Our Premium Fleet and Onboard Services
When you choose our sailing holidays in Corsica, you gain access to a meticulously maintained fleet of luxury catamarans, classic sailing yachts, and high-performance motor boats. Each charter is tailored to your specific needs, whether you require a bareboat rental for an independent adventure or a fully crewed experience with a professional skipper and private chef. Our services include bespoke itinerary planning, high-end provisioning of local Corsican delicacies, and a variety of water sports equipment such as paddleboards and snorkeling gear. We focus on providing a seamless blend of comfort and performance, ensuring that your floating villa offers every modern amenity while you traverse the Mediterranean's most stunning coastal landscapes.
Exploring the Corsican Coastline and Secret Anchorages
Corsica offers some of the most diverse sailing routes in Europe, ranging from the sophisticated marinas of the north to the rugged southern tips. Starting from Porto-Vecchio, you can navigate toward the Lavezzi Islands, a protected granite archipelago with crystal-clear lagoons. A highlight of any trip is the approach to Bonifacio, where the ancient citadel sits precariously atop limestone cliffs. To the west, the Scandola Nature Reserve—a UNESCO World Heritage site—features striking red volcanic rock formations accessible only by sea. Further north, the Gulf of Saint-Florent provides a gateway to the remote beaches of Saleccia and Loto, famous for their white sands and absence of road access, making them perfect for quiet overnight stays.
Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Your Charter
The cost of sailing holidays in Corsica depends on the vessel type, manufacture year, and the level of service required. During the peak summer months of July and August, prices for a premium catamaran typically start from €6,000 per week, while luxury motor yachts can range significantly higher based on fuel consumption and crew size. In the shoulder seasons of June and September, guests can often find more competitive rates and quieter moorings. Our booking process is streamlined and transparent: after an initial consultation to determine your preferences, we provide a detailed quote including the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). A deposit secures your dates, and our concierge team begins the process of customizing your on-board experience and shore excursions.
Expert Tips for the Perfect Island Escape
To make the most of your time in Corsica, we recommend visiting between late May and early October when the Mediterranean climate is most favorable. The prevailing 'Libeccio' wind can be strong, so having an experienced skipper is invaluable for finding sheltered bays. Many of our clients choose to combine their time at sea with a stay in one of our luxury villas in the Balagne region or near Palombaggia beach for a comprehensive land-and-sea experience. Remember to book your marina berths in advance if you plan to dock in popular spots like Calvi or Ajaccio during the high season, as space is limited. Packing light in soft-sided luggage is also advised for maximum comfort while living aboard your yacht.

FAQ
What is the best time for sailing holidays in Corsica?
The ideal window is from June to September when the weather is warm and the sea is perfect for swimming. July and August are the warmest and busiest months, while June and September offer a more tranquil experience with pleasant temperatures and more availability in the sought-after marinas.
Do I need a license to rent a boat in Corsica?
For bareboat charters, a valid international sailing license (such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper) is required. If you do not possess a license, we provide professional skippers who handle all navigation and safety, allowing you to relax and enjoy your holiday without any maritime responsibilities.
How much does a week-long yacht charter in Corsica cost?
Prices vary by season and yacht size. A mid-range sailing yacht typically starts from €3,500 per week, while luxury catamarans usually begin at €7,000 per week. Large motor yachts with full crew services can exceed €20,000 per week, plus expenses like fuel, food, and mooring fees.
Can I customize the itinerary of my Corsican sailing trip?
Absolutely. Every charter is bespoke. While we suggest proven routes starting from Ajaccio, Bonifacio, or Bastia, the final itinerary is tailored to your interests, whether you prefer secluded nature reserves, high-end dining in coastal towns, or active water sports in quiet bays.
