Family-owned since 1959 · Professional crews · Largest fleet in Corsica and Sardinia
Corsica offers one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning sailing destinations. From the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio to the Scandola Nature Reserve and the secluded coves accessible only by water, every nautical mile reveals a new landscape.
With local expertise dating back to 1959, we offer you an exclusive fleet for complete freedom along the coast. Whether you’d like to organize a full-day or half-day outing from your villa, escape for a multi-day cruise, or sail from beach to beach, we’ll tailor your experience to perfectly match your wishes.
Our fleet of boats in Corsica
Corsica Yacht Charter offers one of the most comprehensive fleets on the island of Corsica for exploring the coastline, with or without a skipper. Each boat, built by the most prestigious shipyards, is maintained with meticulous attention to detail to ensure your satisfaction and peace of mind. From spacious yachts to agile RIBs, our boats serve as the starting point for your next adventure.
What kind of boat should you rent in Corsica?
Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and open boats, with or without a skipper
For full-day or half-day cruises along the coast, our boats—ranging from 6 to 17 meters in length—offer unparalleled versatility, combining comfort with a sporty sailing experience.
Fast and luxurious, they’re the perfect fit for your stay in Corsica, whether to enhance your villa rental or satisfy a sudden urge to get away from it all while staying at your hotel. These boats let you cruise along the coast and drop anchor in the narrowest coves—places where even the largest yachts can’t venture.
Depending on the package you choose, you can take the helm and chart your own course for a self-guided cruise. Explore the hidden gems of the Corsican coastline at your own pace, with complete freedom.
Yacht with crew
Take a break where the only thing that matters is contemplation.
On board our yachts, a professional crew (captain, hostess, chef) discreetly attends to every detail of your comfort. This is the ultimate luxury experience for those seeking the service of a luxury hotel combined with the freedom of a floating villa.
Perfect for itinerant cruises, the yacht lets you wake up to a new setting every morning: the Gulf of Girolata, the wild landscapes of Roccapina, the turquoise waters of the Lavezzi Islands…
Our boats combine state-of-the-art technology (air conditioning, Wi-Fi, sea stabilizers) with top-notch amenities. From relaxing on the sun decks to enjoying water sports (paddleboarding, jet skiing, wakeboarding), we do everything we can to ensure that you have only one thing to do: enjoy every moment.
