Sailing in Corsica
Complete Guide 2026
overview
Corsica is the Mediterranean's most dramatic island — a granite mountain range rising 2,706 metres from the sea, with 1,000 kilometres of coastline and a UNESCO-listed marine reserve at Scandola. Charter prices are 20-30% below the Riviera: from €2,200/week for a 38-foot monohull.
The west coast offers wild sailing: Réserve de Scandola (no anchoring, pass-through only), the roadless village of Girolata, and red-cliff Calanques de Piana. The south coast is more accessible: Bonifacio's dramatic cliff-top town, the granite archipelago of Îles Lavezzi, and sheltered bays around Porto-Vecchio.
Bases: Ajaccio (main, airport), Propriano, Bonifacio, Porto-Vecchio. Season: June-September (shorter than Riviera). Mistral can shut down the west coast for 2-3 days — always have a Plan B on the east coast.
