The Gulf of Porto-Vecchio is one of the most beautiful areas for boat rentals in Corsica. Its white-sand beaches, coves lined with Mediterranean scrub, and emerald-hued waters make it a sailing destination in its own right, where every trip out to sea holds its own discoveries.

Setting sail from Porto-Vecchio, the horizon quickly opens up to reveal a wide variety of landscapes. The Lavezzi Islands and their nature reserve lie just a few miles to the south, while to the east, Sardinia looms on the horizon, inviting you to continue sailing beyond Corsican waters.

Corsica Yacht Charter crafts your sailing experience from this prime location, with the same care and attention our company has devoted to each of its destinations since 1959.

What kind of boat should I rent in Porto-Vecchio?

Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and open boats, with or without a skipper

The Gulf of Porto-Vecchio is particularly well-suited for independent sailing. Its well-marked waters, numerous coves, and proximity to the Lavezzi Islands make it an ideal playground for those who want to take the helm and plan their day as they please.

Our RIBs and open boats are popular among villa guests who want a boat at their disposal for the duration of their stay. Agile and fast, they allow you to reach beaches inaccessible by land in just a few minutes, switch coves between morning and afternoon, or cross over to Sardinia for a culinary getaway.

Depending on the model you choose, you can sail on your own or with a professional skipper.

Yacht with crew

Porto-Vecchio is one of the most popular stops in the western Mediterranean. Its anchorages, seaside restaurants, and secluded coves attract an international clientele every summer—people who know exactly what they’re looking for.

It is in this context that chartering a yacht with a crew really comes into its own.

From the deck of our yachts, you can explore the gulf at your own pace, free from the constraints of schedules or logistics. An experienced captain and crew will ensure your comfort while you enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Lavezzi Islands, the beaches of Palombaggia accessible only by sea, or the secluded anchorages that only an intimate knowledge of the area can reveal.

On board, our yachts are equipped with stabilizers, full connectivity, and a selection of recreational equipment, including jet skis, paddleboards, diving gear, and high-speed tenders for landing on the most secluded beaches.

Between the beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, the southern coves, and the secluded anchorages known only to regulars, the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio proves to be much more than just a starting point.
