Corsica Yacht Charter
A Corsica yacht charter offers the perfect blend of luxury, seclusion, and adventure. Known for its rugged coastlines, turquoise bays, and French-Italian charm, Corsica has become a rising hotspot for luxury yacht charters in the Western Mediterranean.
Our clients typically choose crewed motor yachts for their speed and comfort—ideal for reaching Corsica’s remote anchorages and high-end marinas in places like Bonifacio, Porto-Vecchio, and Calvi. Catamarans and sailing yachts are also available for those preferring a slower, scenic pace.
Whether you’re starting in Corsica, ending in Sardinia, or connecting from mainland France, we’ll help you build the perfect route with the right yacht and crew.

Top Corsica Yacht Charter Destinations
Looking for the best Corsica yacht charter locations? From the wild red cliffs of West Corsica to the laid-back charm of East Corsica, this island packs in more variety than most countries. These are the top spots we recommend including in your itinerary, whether you’re chartering out of Bonifacio, Ajaccio, or hopping over from Sardinia.
Bonifacio
Hands down one of the coolest ports in Corsica. Bonifacio is perched right on the cliff’s edge, looking straight across to Sardinia. The marina sits below the old citadel—expect great food, narrow alleys, and big views. From here, we often send clients out to the Lavezzi Islands or north along the coast.
Porto-Vecchio
This is where Corsica turns up the volume. Porto-Vecchio has it all: a fantastic superyacht marina, high-end beach clubs, and fast access to Palombaggia and Santa Giulia—two of the best beaches on the island. It’s the go-to spot if you want barefoot luxury with stunning scenery.
Bastia
Bastia is your northern gateway to Corsica, with the Bastia Poretta Airport(BIA). It is a lively port town with a real local vibe, perfect for starting your charter, provisioning, and exploring. The Old Town’s got charm, the citadel’s got stunning views, and the whole Cap Corse peninsula is right around the corner.
Girolata
Tiny, remote, and only accessible by boat or foot—Girolata is a gem. It’s a natural harbor tucked into the Scandola Nature Reserve, with glowing red cliffs all around. No cars, just a few goats and one unforgettable anchorage. We always recommend a stop here if you’re cruising the west coast.
Calvi
This is one of our favorite northwestern ports. Calvi gives you that perfect mix of history, beach, and nightlife—plus a gorgeous citadel above the marina. It’s got a fantastic luxury marina, fun beach clubs like La Licorne, and easy access to hiking if you want to stretch your legs.
Ajaccio
Corsica’s capital and birthplace of Napoleon—Port Ajaccio Tino Rossi is a popular starting point for many yacht charters with direct flights. Not only is this a convenient launching point for exploring Corsica’s top destinations, but it is also one of Europe’s most stunning bays.

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions
How much does a Corsica yacht charter cost?
For a fully crewed luxury yacht in Corsica, expect prices to start around €30,000 per week and go well beyond €150,000 for top-tier superyachts. This excludes VAT (generally 20% in France), crew tips, and APA (typically 30–40% of the charter fee to cover expenses like fuel, food, and marina fees). We focus on high-end charters with experienced crew, personalized service, and a selection of the best yachts on the market.
When is the best time for a Corsica yacht charter?
The best time to charter a yacht in Corsica is typically during the summer months, from April to September with the peak season in July and August. Several factors contribute to this being the optimal season:
- During the summer, Corsica experiences warm and sunny weather with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F) on average. This creates ideal conditions for sailing, swimming, and outdoor activities.
- The Mediterranean Sea tends to be calmer during the summer months, making for a more comfortable time on the water.
- Summer in Corsica is also marked by various cultural festivals, regattas, and events, adding an extra layer of entertainment to your yacht charter vacation.
*Notice the interesting months of March and October, which offer a nice combination of “water warm enough to swim” and discounted out-of-season prices.
Where is the best place to start a Corsica yacht charter?
We recommend starting in Bastia or Ajaccio, which are the most yacht-friendly ports in Corsica with great marina infrastructure. If you want to include Sardinia (just 10 nautical miles away), Bonifacio is ideal. Another option is starting from Porto Cervo or Olbia in Sardinia—giving you easy access to both Corsica and the Maddalena Archipelago. Let us help you decide based on your group, timing, and travel plans.
Can I sail to Corsica from mainland France or Italy?
Yes—with a faster motor yacht, Corsica is just a short cruise away. You can easily start your yacht charter in ports like St. Tropez or Monaco (France) or La Spezia (Italy) and cruise to Corsica. Many of our clients opt for this route to combine destinations. We’ll guide you to the best itinerary based on your yacht’s speed, weather, and time frame.
When should I book my Corsica yacht charter?
Ideally, you’d inquire about a Corsica charter 12 months in advance. WHY? The best yachts are often fully booked long in advance and it’s not unusual to see popular dates booked 2 summers ahead for a yacht charter vacation in Corsica or anywhere else in the Mediterranean for that matter. Inquiring less than 6 months ahead often means that your first choice is unavailable for charter. Additionally, you might find that the yacht you wish to charter, can’t make it to the port where you wish to commence your yacht charter.

This was a trip of a lifetime
This was a trip of a lifetime! We booked with Nadja at DMA yachting and she made sure the entire process was easy and no problems. Our charter was with Zuri3 and our Captain Andre and First Mate Jana made our trip amazing! They made sure everything was taken care and treated us like royalty. This is not just a vacation this is an experience of a lifetime.

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!
