With its deep, sheltered waters, fine sandy beaches, and mountainous hinterland that slopes down to the sea, the Gulf of Valinco offers a sense of serenity and captivates anyone who ventures there.
Propriano, located at the heart of this gulf, serves as its natural gateway.
From this port, the horizon stretches out in every direction. To the north, the rocky coves and wild inlets of the Taravo invite you to set out on a long voyage of discovery. To the south, the route gradually leads into the waters of southern Corsica, between Campomoro and its Genoese towers and the approaches to Bonifacio.
Corsica Yacht Charter arranges your boat charter in Corsica from Propriano, offering a personalized service tailored to this region, which our teams know inside and out.
What kind of boat should I rent in Propriano?
Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and open boats, with or without a skipper
Propriano is a popular starting point for sailors who want to explore the coastline at their own pace.
Our RIBs and open boats are designed to meet exactly these needs: lightweight, fast, and easy to maneuver, they allow you to reach beaches and coves that are inaccessible by road in just a few minutes.
Residents of the villas along the Gulf of Valinco enjoy a mode of water transportation that is both convenient and pleasant, available every morning to take them to a new destination.
The Campomoro headland and its Genoese tower, the secluded coves between Propriano and Roccapina, the turquoise waters of Tizzano… all of these are stops you can freely add to your itinerary as the day unfolds.
Depending on the type of boat, you can sail on your own or with a skipper who has been navigating these waters for many seasons.
Yacht with crew
The Gulf of Valinco is a sailing destination whose waters and unique light invite calm and tranquility. It is the ideal setting for a carefree cruise aboard a luxury yacht.
From the bridge, the view is breathtaking. The Corsican mountains slope down to the sea, sandy beaches stretch between two headlands, and one cove follows another, each one unique.
A dedicated captain and crew will ensure your comfort while you decide on your next stop.
On board, our yachts are equipped with everything you need to ensure a pleasant time at sea: stabilizers, elegant interiors, fast tenders, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear for exploring the Gulf’s underwater world.

Sail from Propriano
The Gulf of Valinco is one of those places where Corsica reveals its true, unspoiled self. Its deep waters and lush vegetation that stretches all the way to the shore make it a truly authentic sailing destination, one that the island’s regular visitors are particularly fond of.
As you head south from Propriano, the coastline gradually becomes wilder. The headland and Genoese tower at Campomoro mark the entrance to one of Corsica’s least developed coastal areas. The coves that stretch between Campomoro and Tizzano are mostly inaccessible by land, which gives them a truly peaceful atmosphere.
Heading north, the journey follows the Taravo River and its sandy beaches before reaching the approaches to Ajaccio and, further on, the spectacular landscapes of the west coast. Between these two horizons, the Valinco region and its surroundings offer an itinerary where every stop becomes an unforgettable experience.
