Corsica offers one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful sailing destinations. Between the limestone cliffs of Bonifacio, the Scandola Nature Reserve, and the hidden coves accessible only by sea, every nautical mile reveals a new landscape.
Drawing on our local expertise since 1959, we offer you an exclusive fleet for complete freedom along the coastline. Whether you’d like to rent a boat for a full-day or half-day outing from your villa, get away for a cruise lasting a few days or a week, or sail from cove to cove and beach to beach, we’ll tailor your experience at sea to suit your every desire.
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 model you choose, you can take the helm and chart your own course on a bareboat charter, provided you hold the required boating license. Explore the secrets 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 in Corsica, 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 a week-long cruising trip, the yacht lets you wake up to a new setting every morning. The Gulf of Girolata, the untamed wilderness of Roccapina, the turquoise waters of the Lavezzi Islands—every day at sea reveals a new anchorage.
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.

Sailing around Corsica
Exploring Corsica along its coastline means treating yourself to the luxury of variety.
In Southern Corsica, the cliffs of Bonifacio, the Gulf of Porto-Vecchio, and the Lavezzi Archipelago form a unique rocky landscape. Starting from Ajaccio or Propriano and heading west, the Piana calanques and the Scandola Nature Reserve reveal spectacular volcanic landscapes. Further north, the Agriates Desert hides white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters worthy of the tropics.
Each stop is a complete immersion in the island’s raw beauty.
