Yacht Charter in Corsica Corsica is a beautiful island with long chalky white beaches, wild cliff coasts, majestic mountains on the horizon, cosy little villages and hospitable islanders. Many exciting experiences await you on a Mediterranean cruise around Corsica - you will be impressed by the breathtaking views, enchanted by the charming lagoons and, not least, enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of Corsica. Corsica lies between the French Riviera, Sardinia and Tuscany. During the summer months, rainfall is low and in summer, the average temperature is 28 degrees, making it an ideal destination for sailing holidays. The most prevailing winds are from southwest, west and northwest. Due to Corsica’s strategic position and beauty, the island's history is characterized by conflicts, in which Corsica has suffered numerous invasions, occupations and plunderings. Although the island's residents were often exposed to attacks, the Islanders fought for their homes and were incredibly resilient - it is an aspect of their culture that they are all proud of today. You can start your cruise from one of several bases in Corsica Ajaccio is located in southern Corsica and became "the capital" following Napoleon's recommendation (he is born in this city, so it probably has had a lot to do with it).

Highlights of a cruise in Corsica The Scandola Nature Reserve is an incredibly beautiful area with small islands that stretch into the crystal clear sea.

Sailing in France – Practical Tips

Base info

The French marinas and ports are very well-functioning and have new and modern facilities.

Ports

It is most pleasant to moor in small harbors or at berths together with the local boats and close to the cities' harbor promenades. Many ports are called by ferries, so a berth a block away from the ferry berth will be unsettled.

Marinas

There are marinas of various sizes along the coast. Port fees are at a higher level than in Denmark. The port office can possibly be called in good time before arrival via VHF to be assigned a guest berth - which can be quite full, especially in the high season - Here it is necessary to call and book a place.

Permissions

There is usually free sailing between Sardinia and Corsica (both are in the EU).

Provisioning

Be aware that most smaller shops hold a siesta for 2-3 hours in the middle of the day.

Weather and wind

Weather forecasts with weather maps are available at all marina offices - or call on the VHF radio. The wind is usually calm in the morning, which is why it is a good idea to set sail early. At lunchtime, the wind picks up, then drops off again in the evening. When anchoring under high mountains, strong downwinds can occur.
