The Calanques of Piana are among the most photographed landscapes in Corsica. Yet it is from the sea that their beauty is best appreciated. The pink granite cliffs plunge directly into exceptionally clear waters, forming a labyrinth of caves, arches, and passages that can only be fully appreciated from the water.
Corsica Yacht Charter invites you to explore this region from the open sea, at your own pace, free from the constraints of schedules or crowds. Whether you’re staying at a charming hotel in the area or in a villa on the west coast, we’ll arrange your boat charter in Corsica, departing from Piana or nearby ports, with the precision and care that have defined our company for three generations.
What kind of boat should I rent in Piana?
Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and open boats, with or without a skipper
The Calanques of Piana are worth the effort. Their most secluded spots, caves, and hidden coves are accessible only to certain types of boats.
Our RIBs and open boats are specifically designed for exploring right up close to the coastline.
Agile and fast, they allow you to sail right up close to the cliffs, navigate through narrow passages, and reach coves that larger boats cannot access.
Depending on your sailing experience and the model you choose, you can take the helm yourself or entrust the helm to one of our skippers, a discreet and attentive guide who knows this area like the back of his hand.
Yacht with crew
Anchoring off the calanques at the end of the day, when the setting sun casts a coppery glow over the granite, is an experience not to be missed.
It is from the deck of our luxury yachts, with a captain and crew at your service, that this moment becomes a reality.
Our yachts are equipped with state-of-the-art stabilizers, high-end amenities, and a selection of recreational equipment for your downtime between stops (fast tenders, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear to explore the seabed of the calanques).
A living environment on board designed to ensure that every moment at sea is fully enjoyed.
Unparalleled expertise in boat rentals in Piana
Behind Corsica Yacht Charter stands Santarelli Marine, a family-owned shipyard based in Corsica since 1959. Three generations of the same family have built up a level of expertise in the boating industry that few others can claim with the same authority.
Our company has an intimate knowledge of the Corsican coastline, its currents, prevailing winds, and its most secluded anchorages.
The west coast, with Piana and Scandola, is an area we know inside out. It is here that sailing in Corsica truly reveals its unique character, and that is precisely why we apply the same high standards and attention to detail here as we do at all our other destinations.

Sail from Piana
The Gulf of Porto alone boasts some of the Mediterranean’s most unique seascapes. From Piana, the cruise takes place against a backdrop of red granite and turquoise waters, where every turn reveals a new scene.
To the north, the Scandola Nature Reserve commands attention. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is home to an exceptionally rich marine ecosystem and geological formations found nowhere else along the Corsican coast. Access is strictly regulated, which preserves its authenticity and makes it an even more sought-after destination.
Heading south, after sailing along the rocky coves, the route leads into the Gulf of Sagone and its fine sandy beaches, before opening out onto wider waters toward Ajaccio. This itinerary captures the full diversity of the island’s western coastline in just a few miles.
