Corsica, nicknamed the Isle of Beauty, is a renowned destination and part of yachting’s golden triangle. With its crystal-clear waters, wild coves accessible only by boat and breathtaking scenery, it’s the ideal playground for a day or multi-day charter.
Explore this Mediterranean island without worrying about the constraints of navigation, crewed yacht charter in Corsica is the solution.
Why choose crewed yacht charter in Corsica?
Renting a crewed boat means enjoying your vacation to the full. Whether you’re a novice sailor or simply looking for relaxation, a professional skipper and, depending on your needs, a full crew (cook, hostess) will take care of all the technical and logistical aspects. All you have to do is admire the exceptional panoramas of Corsica, from Cap Corse in the north to the Bouches de Bonifacio in the south.
Renting a boat with at least one skipper is ideal for making sure you don’t miss out on any of the coves known only to Corsican crews.
www.corsica-yacht-charter.com’ s dedicated yacht charter team will personalize your itinerary: anchoring in the Scandola nature reserve, swimming in the turquoise waters of Saleccia beach or discovering picturesque villages such as Calvi, Bonifacio or Porto-Vecchio.
The advantages of renting in Corsica
Corsica stands out for its diversity and authenticity. Chartering a crewed boat gives you access to sites inaccessible by road, such as the calanques of Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or the Lavezzi archipelago, a diver’s paradise. The crew, often made up of locals, knows the best spots and guides you to unspoiled waters.
What’s more, crewed charter guarantees comfort and safety. Our yachts and motorboats are equipped to meet your every need, with spacious cabins, fully equipped galleys and leisure facilities such as paddling and snorkeling. You’ll be able to travel with peace of mind, with personalized service that adapts to your every need.
When to go to Corsica and how to book
The best time to rent a boat in Corsica is from May to September. Summer (July-August) is perfect for enjoying warm temperatures and waters ideal for swimming, but spring and autumn offer a quieter alternative, with rates often more advantageous. To guarantee boat availability, it is advisable to book several months in advance, especially in high season.
Then entrust the organization of your private Corsica cruise to the n°1 in luxury yachting, based in Ajaccio, South Corsica.

Stopovers in Corsica
Corsica’s anchorages and ports are renowned for their authenticity, beauty and warm welcome.
Ajaccio, easily accessible thanks to an international airport, is the port of embarkation for many weekly charters. Corsica Yacht Charter has its base here, thanks to the luxurious infrastructure of www.santarelli-marine.fr, including a private marina that welcomes owners’ boats and yachts, with all the services associated with yachting: deckhand, concierge, crew all come together to look after the boats.
Ajaccio boasts one of the most beautiful gulfs in the world, with mountains plunging into a turquoise sea and the famous ÃŽles Sanguinaires. Ajaccio’s relaxed lifestyle, with a local market in the harbor and bars where you can watch fishermen prepare their nets, is well worth a stop on a cruise.
Its countless beaches and coves with turquoise-blue waters will delight the most demanding sailors.
Ajaccio is also the port of departure for day trips to the Scandola reserve, Girolata and the Sanguinaires islands, or southwards to the small port of Tizzano, or Bonifacio.
Propriano, with its sheltered harbor and surrounding coves accessible only by boat ( Cala Longa, Cala di Conca, Senetosa, Cupabia etc.), is a must for private cruises in Corsica.
Bonifacio, the star of yachting in the Mediterranean, is Corsica. It’s an essential stopover on a cruise to Corsica or Sardinia. While the port welcomes the finest Mediterranean boats and world-class restaurants serving seafood-based cuisine, the upper town offers typical narrow streets, typical Corsican restaurants and magnificent views over Sardinia. In July and August, a fireworks display on the city walls is a special attraction, watched from the foredeck of your boat.
Porto-Vecchio, famous for its Palombaggia and Santa Giulia beaches, is a lively upper town that is very pleasant in season.
On the beaches, you’ll find restaurants serving fine cuisine, and many locals head out by boat at weekends.
Calvi and Saint Florent, the two most famous ports in northern Corsica, are the perfect opportunity to escape the boat for a tasting of the famous Corsican wines in one of the many vineyards along the wine route.
The region offers the chance to visit the Scandola reserve, the Agriates desert and the sublime Saleccia beach.
