With Corsica Yacht Charter, all you have to do is enjoy being on board—we take care of the rest.
When you confirm your boat rental in Corsica or Sardinia, we draw up a contract in your name that is perfectly tailored to your project.
For a day or a week at sea, we generally use the standard Santarelli Marine contract, which is ideal for short-term rentals and clearly outlines the use of the boat.
For larger vessels and high-end cruises, we use the MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) contract. This is the international benchmark in the world of luxury yacht chartering. This contract specifies the commitments of each party (you (the charterer), the boat owner, the broker, and the central agent).
Drafted and validated by a reputable maritime law firm in London, the MYBA contract offers a solid legal framework, transparent management, and smooth organization. It guarantees a peaceful sailing experience, from the port of departure to your return to dock.
The rates we quote for boat rentals are based on MYBA standards, the international benchmark in this field.
This means that your boat is delivered ready to sail, fully equipped, insured, and accompanied by a qualified crew when required.
The price includes:
You will not be responsible for any crew-related expenses, as these are covered by the boat owner.
Rates are standardized to ensure transparency and peace of mind. However, for rentals lasting several weeks, some owners may consider an adjusted offer.
Upon request, we will send you these proposals with clarity and discretion, so you can fully enjoy your experience at sea.
The cash advance corresponds to the budget intended to cover the costs associated with operating the boat during your stay at sea. It generally includes fuel, supplies (food and drinks), local taxes, port fees, fresh water and electricity, as well as certain mooring costs depending on the coast where you are sailing.
This amount represents on average 35% of the price of boat rental in Corsica. It is managed on board, often by the skipper, so that you can enjoy your cruise without worrying about the logistics.
At the end of your trip, any unused portion will be refunded in full. If, in exceptional circumstances, the expenses exceed the estimated amount, an adjustment will be made before your return to port.
Our team is available to advise you and provide information on how this advance payment works, depending on the season, the sailing area (e.g., to Bonifacio, Calvi, or the west coast), and the type of equipped boat chosen.
Yes, VAT applies depending on the area in which you are sailing and the planned itinerary for your boat rental in Corsica or Sardinia. The rules may vary depending on the territorial waters crossed, the port of departure, and the country in which the contract is drawn up.
Your skipper or professional broker is there to advise and inform you, so that your cruise complies with the tax regulations in force.
When making your reservation, a deposit of 50% of the boat rental price is required upon signing the contract.
The balance, the cash advance, and, if necessary, a security deposit, must be paid no later than 30 days before embarkation.
For any rental confirmed less than 30 days before departure, the full amount is payable upon signing.
This organization ensures that the boat, its equipment, and any skipper are prepared smoothly, so that your stay at sea takes place in the best possible conditions.
Our team is available to advise and assist you, whether you are renting a boat in Corsica from Ajaccio, the west coast, Bonifacio, or Calvi. We make sure that all the practical aspects are simplified so that you can focus on enjoying your sailing trip and discovering the beautiful landscapes of the Mediterranean.
The yacht charter agreement provides for cancellation only in cases of force majeure : unforeseeable and uncontrollable events such as major breakdowns that cannot be repaired within 24 hours or political unrest.
In case of unfavorable weather, the rental will not be canceled, but we can offer to change the dates or itinerary depending on the availability of the boat in Corsica or Sardinia.
We prioritize boats already based in the port or city of your choice, in order to simplify your boarding and optimize your time at sea.
Depending on your itinerary, you can embark at Ajaccio, Calvi, Bonifacio, Propriano, or along the west coast, and even in Sardinia.
If the boat you wish to rent is located in another port or sailing area, delivery charges may apply. These will be clearly and transparently indicated to you before you make your reservation.
Our professional team is on hand to advise you on the best choice of boarding, depending on the season, wind conditions, climate, type of motorboat or open boat selected, and your cruise itinerary (exploring the Scandola Nature Reserve, sailing to the beautiful anchorages of Agriate, stopping off at Capo Rosso, or exploring the wild coves between Calvi and Galeria, and much more).
It is customary in the luxury yacht charter industry to tip the crew if you are fully satisfied with your cruise.
It is not mandatory, but we generally recommend an amount between 5% and 10% of the rental price, excluding the cash box.
Our goal is simple: to enable you to sail and discover the island in the best possible conditions, with comfort, flexibility, and enjoyment, with the best crew in the Mediterranean.
