Can I charter a yacht from Cannes to Corsica?
Yes, on a weekly charter — the passage from Cannes to Corsica is an open-water crossing rather than a coastal hop, so it suits a yacht with the range and a captain who plans around a settled weather window. The reward is turquoise water, wild anchorages and some of the most beautiful coastline in the Mediterranean, from the calanques near Bonifacio to quiet bays where you can swim with no one else in sight. A typical itinerary crosses when the forecast is right, cruises the Corsican coast for several days, and returns the same way, sometimes by way of the Italian coast or the islands. It is a more adventurous charter than a day along the Riviera, and timing matters: the captain will choose the crossing carefully and keep the plan flexible. Tell us your dates and how much time you have, and our brokers will design a realistic Corsica itinerary around the weather and your wishes.
