Corsica
Navélia Yacht Charters
overview
Corsica is one of the most distinctive yacht charter destinations in the Western Mediterranean. Positioned between mainland France and Sardinia, the island offers a rugged coastline, protected natural reserves, and long cruising distances that favour immersive, multi-day itineraries.
Unlike the compact cruising grounds of the French Riviera, Corsica rewards guests seeking space, autonomy, and variety. Dramatic cliffs, secluded anchorages, and undeveloped stretches of coastline define the experience. Yacht charters here are typically structured over several days, allowing time to explore remote bays, historic ports, and contrasting landscapes across the island.
Corsica is best suited to guests planning extended voyages aboard multi-day yachts or superyachts, where comfort, range, and flexibility allow for a deeper exploration of the island’s coastline.

Hiking & Nature
Corsica’s interior rises sharply from the sea, creating one of the most dramatic natural environments in the Mediterranean. Guests often combine yacht cruising with coastal hikes, cliffside viewpoints, and access to protected marine parks. The island’s unspoiled terrain makes it ideal for travellers who value nature alongside time on the water.
Beaches & Secluded Anchorages
Corsica is known for its diversity of beaches, from long white-sand bays to small granite coves accessible only by boat. Calm, clear waters and low coastal development create ideal conditions for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxed anchoring away from busy ports.
Cultural Exploration
Historic citadels, traditional fishing towns, and regional cuisine give Corsica a strong local identity. Yacht charters allow guests to alternate between quiet anchorages and visits ashore, experiencing both the island’s maritime heritage and its inland character without rigid schedules.
