Yacht Charter Corsica

CORSICA

The wild beauty of the Mediterranean

Corsica is 110 nautical miles from Cannes. The overnight crossing to Calvi takes 9 hours by motor yacht, arriving at dawn. The first impression is dramatic: mountains dropping directly into clear water, no development on the coast, anchorages you share with nobody.

A Corsica week charter is the most popular multi-day itinerary from Cannes. The west coast from Calvi to Bonifacio has the most spectacular scenery: the Scandola nature reserve (UNESCO), the Calanques de Piana, the Gulf of Porto and the red cliffs of Girolata. The south coast has Bonifacio, one of the most photographed ports in Europe, perched on white limestone cliffs.

Ocean Five arranges Corsica week charters on motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans from 12 to 25 metres. The captain knows the anchorages, the weather patterns and the best restaurants ashore.
