From the foot of its Genoese citadel, Calvi overlooks one of the most spectacular bays in the Mediterranean. Corsica Yacht Charter arranges your boat charter from Balagne, aboard an exclusive fleet of yachts, motorboats, and RIBs, delivered to the port or directly to the anchorage in front of your villa or hotel.
Family-owned since 1959 · Professional crews · Largest fleet in Corsica and Sardinia
Calvi holds a special place in Corsica’s geography. Its half-moon-shaped bay, bordered by a centuries-old pine forest and dominated by the silhouette of its citadel, creates a setting found nowhere else on the island. It is from this exceptional setting that one of the most expansive sailing areas in the western Mediterranean opens up for those looking to rent a boat in Corsica.
Setting sail from the port of Calvi, a world of possibilities lies ahead. To the south, the Scandola Nature Reserve reveals its red porphyry cliffs and waters of rare clarity, accessible only by sea. To the north, the Agriates Desert and its pristine beaches at Saleccia and Lotu await those who know where to look.
At Corsica Yacht Charter, we treat every boat rental in Calvi as a unique experience. Whether it’s a day trip departing from your hotel or a multi-day cruise along the Corsican coast, our teams provide personalized service.
Departing from the port of Calvi, we offer a selection of boats that have been meticulously maintained by the team at Santarelli Marine for your sailing trips in Balagne.
From yachts designed for ultimate comfort to RIBs built for agility along the coast, every boat in our fleet reflects the high standards our company has upheld for more than three generations. A carefully curated selection to ensure that every voyage from Calvi lives up to what this coastline deserves.
For those who prefer a more direct approach to the Calais coastline, our RIBs and open boats, ranging from 6 to 17 meters in length, offer a freedom of movement that larger vessels simply cannot match.
Fast, easy to handle, and just as comfortable, these boats are particularly popular among residents of villas and hotels who want daily access to the sea on their own terms.
Sailing to a secluded cove between Calvi and Galeria, having lunch in a cove known only to boaters, and returning to port in the late afternoon… this kind of sailing experience unfolds as the day goes on.
Depending on your experience and the model you choose, you can take the helm for a self-guided outing or sail with a professional skipper who knows the waters of the Balagne and its most secluded spots like the back of their hand.
The Bay of Calvi, viewed from the open sea, is one of the most striking panoramas on the west coast of Corsica.
From this prime starting point, our luxury yachts will take you on a journey to explore an exceptional coastline, with a captain and crew entirely dedicated to your comfort.
On board, everything is designed so that you have only one thing on your mind: enjoying the moment.
Our yachts are equipped with state-of-the-art stabilizers, cutting-edge navigation systems, and interiors designed with meticulous attention to detail.
For your time at sea, a selection of recreational equipment is available on board, including speedboats, jet skis, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear, so you can explore the seabed of the Scandola Nature Reserve or the crystal-clear waters of the Agriates Desert.
Chartering a yacht from Calvi is the perfect way to explore the Piana coves by sea, anchor in the secluded coves along the west coast, or head to Porto at the end of the day, far from the hustle and bustle.
Corsica Yacht Charter is the charter division of Santarelli Marine, a family-owned business founded in 1959 in Ajaccio.
For over sixty years, our company has been involved in the development of luxury yachting along the entire Corsican coastline, from Balagne to the Strait of Bonifacio.
Our presence in Calvi is part of this long-standing tradition. It is based on an intimate knowledge of the region, its winds, its anchorages, and its seasons—knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
This experience enables us to offer, from every port where we operate, a level of service that only a company with a strong local presence can guarantee.
In Calvi, as with all our destinations, we take care of every detail of your sailing experience so that you can focus entirely on the sea.
Sailing from Calvi means setting out on a journey through one of the most beautiful stretches of scenery the western Mediterranean has to offer.
As you leave the bay to the north, the coastline gradually becomes wilder. The deserted beaches of the Agriates Desert come into view after a few miles, accessible only by sea. Saleccia and Le Lotu are among the island’s most unspoiled stretches of coastline, and it’s often only from the deck of a boat that you realize why.
Heading south, the journey follows the rocky coast of Balagne before reaching the Piana calanques and the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its deep blue waters, sea caves, and red porphyry cliffs offer one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles in the entire Mediterranean. A region that can only be fully appreciated from the sea.
Between these two horizons, a succession of coves, inlets, and secluded anchorages await those who take the time to stop there.
