Bonifacio

Bonifacio

The Bonifacio marina is sandwiched between layered cliffs, giving the entrants a narrower than average space when approaching. This sets it apart from the ports of the west which are in the open and only surrounded by cliffs. The commune is best known for its marine sanctuary and the Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve.

The port is part of international ecological sustainability pacts, which are critical to note while traversing the port. You can contact the port authorities at VHF channel 9 for booking a berth. In addition to water and electricity, the port also offers meteorological assistance, showers and toilets, Wi-Fi, and boat security.

The port of Bonifacio is often the last stop in many Corsican itineraries, before completing the Corsican circuit at Ajaccio. It is recommended that you take your time exploring the port and the city. The stunning islands of Iles de Lavezzi and the Ile Cavallo are worth a visit.
