Itinéraire Détaillé au Départ d‘Ajaccio
Corsica is a jewel in the Mediterranean. Corsica Yacht Charter offers you the chance to discover it on a crewed yacht cruise. This exclusive 7-day itinerary, departing from Ajaccio, takes you to discover the most beautiful sites in the south of the island, between secret coves, spectacular cliffs and dazzling blue waters. Here’s a detailed look at this unforgettable maritime adventure.
Day 1: Ajaccio, a boarding impunder the sign of luxury
Your cruise begins at Ajaccio airport, where you will be greeted by your ship’s captain.
With the cab we’ve booked, you’ll reach the port of Ajaccio, Napoleon’s birthplace, where your yacht awaits, ready to cast off. As soon as you board, the crew welcomes you with a homemade cocktail, while the sun gilds the colorful facades of the imperial city. After a short sail in the Gulf of Ajaccio, the boat drops anchor near the ÃŽles Sanguinaires for a first swim. These mythical islands, tinted red at sunset, offer a wild setting for a first swim in crystal-clear waters. In the evening, lulled by the gentle lapping of the waves, enjoy a dinner on board – perhaps a local fish soup – prepared with care by the hostess.
Day 2: Propriano, a stopover full of characterère
Today’s sailing takes you into the Gulf of Valinco, where you’ll discover wild coves with deep blue waters.
On board, the boat’s crew can organize a water-skiing session with your boat’s tender or a paddle session in the calm turquoise waters of Cupabia Bay.
As the sun declines, painting golden reflections on the sea, it’s time to enjoy an aperitif made with myrtle, a typical Corsican liqueur, accompanied by Corsican charcuterie – lonzu, coppa and prisuttu.
On your yacht, you can relax and enjoy the excellent service on board.
In the evening, it’s time to head for Propriano, a small port town nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Valinco, with its relaxed atmosphere and narrow streets lined with artisanal stores. If you’re heading ashore, try a local brocciu fritter or stroll to the hilltop church of Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde.
Day 3: Senetosa, an escape in a wild setting
The yacht heads south towards Senetosa Bay, an unspoilt haven of peace. Here, the landscape is raw and authentic: a beach of golden sand bordered by fragrant scrubland, dominated by the solitary silhouette of the Senetosa lighthouse. Several anchorages are available, depending on the size of your boat.
The crew deploys their water toys – paddleboards, masks and snorkels – to explore the fish-filled seabed. Underwater, silence reigns supreme, punctuated by the ballet of the island’s typical fish.
Lunch on deck is a must: fresh lobster salad, sheep’s milk cheese and a glass of white wine from one of Corsica’s finest grape varieties.
A night at anchor offers a breathtaking view of a sky studded with stars, far from any light pollution in this part of Corsica, where no houses can disturb the calm enjoyed by the boats anchored in one of the coves surrounding Senetosa.
Day 4: Rocapina, the magic of‘a cove sculpted by nature
En route to Rocapina Bay, prepare to be dazzled by postcard-perfect scenery. The cove, framed by ochre rocks, is overlooked by the famous “Lion of Rocapina”, a natural rock formation that seems to watch over the pristine beach below. The sparkling turquoise water invites you to dive off the yacht and admire the posidonia meadows and schools of multicolored fish. The crew takes care of the meal: Corsican veal kebabs, grilled vegetables and a glass of Sciaccarellu rosé to complete the moment. In the evening, the absolute calm of this isolated anchorage lulls you to sleep, with only the whisper of the wind and the scents of the Corsican maquis for company.
Day 5: Bonifacio, the Mecca of Mediterranean yachting
Arriving in Bonifacio by boat is an unforgettable experience. From the sea, the white cliffs, over 70 metres high, rise like a natural fortress, crowned by the medieval old town. The yacht plunges into the narrow harbor channel, revealing sea caves accessible only by boat. Explore the Grotte du Sdragonato, whose pierced ceiling draws a Corsican-shaped sliver of light. On land, climb the 187 steps of the King of Aragon Staircase for a panoramic view of the Mediterranean.
Numerous gourmet restaurants await you in the harbor while the crew cleans the boat.
For those who prefer to stay out of port, the night with the yacht at anchor, facing the illuminated cliffs, is enchanting.
Day 6: L‘archipelago of Lavezzi and Cavallo, a heavenly duo
Set course for the Lavezzi archipelago, which you’ll reach after 15 minutes of comfortable sailing, sunbathing on your boat’s sunbeds. This nature reserve with its crystal-clear waters is a sanctuary for marine life: with a mask and snorkel, observe rainbow wrasse and red starfish.
A superb path crosses the main island, and in just 30 minutes you can walk around the island, admiring the endemic flora and the splendid yachts passing by.
Then set sail forCavallo Island.
Nicknamed “the island of billionaires”, it offers a chic, unspoilt atmosphere, with deserted beaches lined with umbrella pines. You can choose to have lunch on board your boat or in one of the island’s two restaurants.
For your last evening, choose to sleep at anchor in one of the sumptuous coves of the Lavezzi archipelago, under the stars, with a glass of citron liqueur to round off your evening on the boat.
Day 7: Porto-Vecchio, an apothecary endingéose
The cruise ends in Porto-Vecchio, the pearl of southeast Corsica. Before disembarking, the yacht anchors near Palombaggia beach, famous for its fine sand and maritime pines leaning over an emerald sea. A final swim is in order, as is a paddle outing along the coast. On land, explore the citadel of Porto-Vecchio, with its Genoese ramparts and charming cobbled streets. A lunch on board – seafood platter and glass of Vermentino – seals this dream week, before bidding farewell to your yacht’s dedicated crew.
