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.

Frequently 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.

Chris set us up with an amazing crew…
Chris set us up with an amazing crew that collaborated with us on everything from the itinerary to meal preferences. They accommodated an early departure for a couple of our passengers and brought back aboard due to an unprecedented airspace restriction. The yacht was fantastic and everything advertised was available. […] We’d definitely use DMA and Chris again.

Our first charter trip was simply…absolutely perfect
Our first charter trip was simply fantastic. Nadja from DMA Yachting organized everything perfectly in advance. Thank you, Nadja, for your great work. Our yacht was in top condition. Captain Ivor and hostess Katarina anticipated our every need. We felt in the best hands with Captain Ivor. Katarina cooks excellently and is a perfect hostess. Thank you both so much. It was our first charter, but certainly not the last. We would charter through DMA Yachting again and again.
