The Charter Experience
Corsica's sheltered anchorages and consistent Mediterranean conditions provide ideal waters for bareboat exploration. Base yourself in Ajaccio or Propriano, then navigate to hidden coves between Bonifacio's dramatic granite cliffs and the Îles Lavezzi. The Dufour 450 responds confidently to moderate breezes whilst proving stable in the flat summer waters. Provisions and fuel are readily sourced at principal ports. This is sailing that rewards both spontaneity and structure, whether you prefer island-hopping or anchoring for several days in one location.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart Ajaccio southbound, calling at Porticcio before reaching the Îles Sanguinaires. Continue to Propriano and the quieter waters around Porto-Pollo, then press south to Bonifacio for exploration of its limestone harbour and surrounding granite peaks. Return northbound with flexibility to linger in favoured anchorages or shelter in any of Corsica's well-equipped ports.
