Sailing Itineraries: From Ajaccio to Bonifacio

A seven-day voyage around Corsica offers diverse landscapes, starting from the historic capital of Ajaccio and heading south toward the dramatic Strait of Bonifacio. You can drop anchor in the pristine Gulf of Valinco or explore the protected Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its volcanic red rocks and vibrant marine life. The southern tip of the island reveals the stunning beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, where the sand is powdery white and the water is crystal clear. Navigating the Lavezzi archipelago provides a unique opportunity for secluded swimming and diving. With a full week, you have ample time to balance lively port visits in Calvi or Saint-Florent with quiet nights spent in tranquil, star-lit bays far from the tourist crowds.

Pricing and Booking Process

The cost of a weekly yacht charter in Corsica varies significantly based on the season, the size of the vessel, and the level of service required. During the peak months of July and August, prices generally start from €5,000 for smaller sailing yachts and can exceed €50,000 for luxury crewed motor yachts. Factors such as fuel consumption, mooring fees in prestigious marinas like Porto-Vecchio, and professional provisioning (APA) will influence the final budget. Our booking process is streamlined and transparent: after selecting your preferred dates and vessel, our consultants handle all contractual details and itinerary planning. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for summer dates to secure the most desirable yachts in the Corsican fleet.

Expert Tips for Your Corsican Adventure

To make the most of your time in Corsica, we recommend planning your charter between late May and early October, when the weather is most favorable for sailing. The mistral wind can occasionally affect northern routes, so having a flexible itinerary is essential. For a truly integrated luxury experience, many of our clients combine their week at sea with a few nights in a private villa in the hills above San-Gavino-di-Carbini or near the cliffs of Bonifacio. Don't miss the chance to dine at authentic seaside restaurants accessible only by boat, where you can sample local wild boar and fresh seafood. Always ensure you have the necessary permits if you plan to fish or dive within the strictly regulated marine parks around the island.

FAQ

What is the best time for a weekly yacht charter in Corsica?

The ideal period is from June to September. July and August offer the warmest waters and most vibrant nightlife, though June and September provide a more tranquil experience with pleasant temperatures and easier access to popular moorings in Bonifacio and Saint-Florent.

Do I need a license for a weekly yacht charter in Corsica?

If you are booking a bareboat charter, a valid international sailing license (such as ICC) and a VHF certificate are required. However, most of our luxury weekly yacht charter options include a professional skipper, allowing you to relax without worrying about Mediterranean maritime regulations.

How much does a weekly yacht charter cost?

Prices typically range from €4,000 for a modest sailing boat to over €100,000 for a mega yacht. A mid-range catamaran for a family usually costs between €8,000 and €15,000 per week, excluding fuel, food, and port fees which are usually managed via an Advance Provisioning Allowance.

Can we customize our itinerary during the week?

Absolutely. While we provide a suggested route through the best Corsican bays, your captain will tailor the daily stops based on your preferences and the weather conditions. You can choose to spend more time in secluded coves or explore the upscale boutiques and restaurants of Porto-Vecchio.
