About Bareboat Sailing Yacht MONFREID

Built in 2008, she accommodates up to nine guests across four cabins, making her well-suited to families and sailing groups seeking an independent yet supported Mediterranean experience.

The Charter Experience
Southern Corsica remains one of Europe's most rewarding sailing grounds, combining dramatic granite coastlines with transparent waters and minimal crowds outside peak season. Bonifacio's strategic position places you equidistant from the Lavezzi Islands, the Scandola Nature Reserve, and Sardinia's northern archipelago. Anchor at Cavallo Island, explore the porcelain-white beaches of Monaccia, or motor-sail to Porto-Vecchio's elegant harbourside restaurants. The region rewards early starts and off-season timing, when thermal winds are predictable and anchorages remain tranquil.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might begin with a coastal passage south to the Lavezzi Islands, where you anchor in crystalline water off Cavallo Island. Day three takes you westward to Scandola's protected waters before returning north to Porto-Vecchio for an evening ashore. The final days offer flexibility: either gentle day-sails to hidden coves near Bonifacio, or a longer passage toward Sardinia's Maddalena Archipelago, depending on crew appetite and prevailing conditions.
