The Charter Experience
Corsica's crystalline waters and granite anchorages provide the ideal proving ground for independent sailing. Based near Macinaggio on the island's northern cape, you'll access pristine coves and charming villages within hours under sail. The nearby Tuscan Archipelago extends your cruising radius toward Elba and Porquerolles, each passage rewarding experienced sailors with consistent Mediterranean thermals and manageable sea states. Mooring fees, provisions, and any professional crew remain at your discretion, preserving complete control over your itinerary.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical week might depart Macinaggio northward toward the Lavezzi Islands, then cross toward the Tuscan coast via Elba, allowing two to three days exploring Porquerolles before returning via the Strait of Bonifacio. Alternatively, experienced crews often circumnavigate Corsica itself, taking advantage of predictable summer breezes and well-sheltered overnight anchorages at Scandola, Girolata, and Bonifacio's dramatic limestone cliffs.
