Tailored Maritime Experiences and Premium Fleet
Our yacht cruises in Corsica are designed to cater to the most discerning travelers, offering a diverse fleet that ranges from sleek motor yachts to elegant sailing catamarans.

Iconic Routes from Bonifacio to Saint-Florent
The Corsican coastline offers some of the most dramatic scenery in the Mediterranean. Most yacht cruises begin in the historic harbor of Bonifacio, where you can marvel at the limestone cliffs before heading to the Lavezzi Islands for world-class snorkeling. Further north, the Gulf of Porto and the Scandola Nature Reserve—a UNESCO World Heritage site—provide breathtaking volcanic rock formations and turquoise inlets accessible only by boat. For those starting in the north, the desert of Agriates near Saint-Florent offers secluded white sand beaches like Saleccia, providing a serene escape far from the crowded tourist hubs of the mainland.
Pricing Structures and Booking Process
The cost of a private charter in Corsica varies based on the vessel size, the duration of the trip, and the season. Generally, prices for a day cruise start from approximately €1,500 for a luxury motorboat, while week-long charters on larger yachts can range from €15,000 to over €100,000 during the peak summer months. These rates typically include the yacht and crew, while fuel and provisioning are often managed through an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Booking is straightforward: once you select your dates and preferred vessel, our concierge team handles the contracts and itinerary planning to ensure a bespoke experience.
Best Time to Visit and Travel Tips
To make the most of your time in Corsica, we recommend booking between June and September when the weather is consistently sunny and the sea temperatures are ideal for swimming. July and August are the liveliest months, offering a vibrant atmosphere in marinas like Porto-Vecchio. For a more tranquil experience, the shoulder seasons of May and October provide mild weather and quieter anchorages. Many of our guests choose to pair their maritime journey with a stay in one of our luxury villas in the hills of the Balagne region, creating a comprehensive land-and-sea itinerary that captures the true essence of Corsican life.

FAQ
What is included in private yacht cruises in Corsica?
Standard yacht cruises typically include the vessel, a professional captain and crew, and basic insurance. Depending on the package, fuel, food, and beverages may be included or charged separately via an APA. Most luxury charters also provide snorkeling equipment, towels, and refreshments as part of the base price.
Can I customize the itinerary for my Corsica boat trip?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the flexibility to choose your route. While our captains suggest the best spots based on wind and weather conditions, you can decide which bays to visit, where to anchor for lunch, and how much time to spend at each location.
Do I need a license to rent a yacht in Corsica?
If you are booking a crewed yacht cruise, you do not need any license or maritime experience, as your professional skipper handles all navigation. For bareboat rentals, you must provide a valid international boating license and a nautical CV demonstrating your experience with similar-sized vessels.
What should I pack for a day on the water?
We recommend bringing high-protection sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect against the Mediterranean sun. While we provide towels, you should bring your swimwear and a light jacket for the evening breeze. Soft-soled shoes are required on deck to maintain the yacht's surfaces, though many guests prefer to go barefoot.
