Family-owned since 1959 · Professional crews · Largest fleet in Corsica and Sardinia
Southern Corsica is a maritime region renowned worldwide for the beauty of its landscapes and the exceptional richness of its seabed. Aboard our boats in Corsica, in just a few dozen minutes, you’ll travel from the deep, sheltered gulfs of Valinco to the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio, and from the white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio to the protected waters of the Lavezzi Archipelago. Each stop is a unique experience; each anchorage makes time stand still in its own way.
In Southern Corsica, renting a boat is the only way to explore the region in its entirety. You’ll gain access to shores that aren’t reachable by road, coves known only to boaters, and horizons that stretch all the way to Sardinia.
The southern tip of Corsica calls for boats capable of adapting to a wide range of sailing conditions, from calm, sheltered waters to the currents of a strait. Our fleet is perfectly suited for navigating this environment. From luxury yachts for multi-day cruises to RIBs equipped with state-of-the-art engines for day or half-day coastal exploration right up close to the shore, each boat reflects the high standards our company sets for itself.
The boats are selected and maintained by the teams at the Santarelli Marine shipyard.
Our RIBs and open boats range from 6 to 17 meters in length and are designed for agile and comfortable cruising along the southern coast of Corsica. Popular with families on vacation as well as sailors looking to explore on their own, they are suitable for all types of users.
Fast and maneuverable, they provide access to a coastline that larger vessels cannot reach.
Powered by state-of-the-art engines, our RIBs combine performance and stability for a pleasant boating experience in all conditions. The seats are padded, storage space is optimized, and the boats come fully equipped with navigation gear for a worry-free outing.
Sail into a secluded cove between Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio at sunrise, or enjoy lunch in a deserted cove known only to boaters… These are the moments you’ll experience aboard our boats.
And to enjoy even more freedom—depending on the model you choose and your experience—you can take the wheel and plan your own route.
Step aboard our yachts, with a captain and crew entirely dedicated to your comfort, and discover Southern Corsica at your own pace, without any constraints or logistical hassles.
Selected for their seaworthiness, the quality of their interiors, and the attention to detail, our yachts—ranging from 15 to 30 meters—feature multiple cabins, spacious outdoor living areas, and all the equipment needed for a multi-day cruise.
Our yachts are equipped with state-of-the-art stabilizers, air conditioning, high-speed tenders for landing on the most secluded beaches, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, and diving gear to explore some of the best-preserved underwater landscapes in the Mediterranean.
Watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Valinco from the deck of a yacht or anchoring in the quiet of the Lavezzi Islands at the end of the day—these are the unforgettable moments that our yachts make possible.
Southern Corsica is where our company’s history began. It was in Ajaccio, in 1959, that Santarelli Marine laid the foundation for a family venture that continues today through Corsica Yacht Charter, our division dedicated to boat rentals.
For three generations, our company has been serving a discerning international clientele throughout Corsica and Sardinia. Nearly 50 five-star reviews attest to the care we take with every cruise.
This longevity is rooted in expertise passed down from generation to generation—that of a luxury yachting specialist who knows these waters better than anyone else.
In Southern Corsica, every trip is different. Some of our guests stay in a villa with direct access to the sea, while others stay at a luxury hotel in the heart of Bonifacio or Porto-Vecchio. We tailor our services to each situation, so your boat is available exactly where you need it, whenever you want it.
Within just a few dozen miles, Southern Corsica offers a diversity of seascapes that one might spend a lifetime searching for elsewhere.
It is here that the Mediterranean reveals its most bountiful side, with exceptionally clear waters, an unspoiled seabed, and a coastline that alternates between cliffs, secluded coves, and white-sand beaches.
In the northern part of the region, the Gulf of Valinco and its deep waters offer a peaceful setting for sailing, bordered by a mountainous hinterland that plunges down to the sea. Further south, Porto-Vecchio and its gulf are among the most popular sailing destinations in the Mediterranean, with a concentration of anchorages and coves just a few minutes’ sail from the port.
At the southern tip of the island, Bonifacio and the strait that bears its name form a natural boundary between two worlds—a boundary that can only truly be discovered by boat. On one side lie the Lavezzi Islands and their nature reserve. On the other, Sardinia. It is from this crossing point that the horizon widens, toward the Italian or French coasts, for those who wish to extend their voyage beyond Corsican waters.
