Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly.

Corsica Catamaran Charter: Space, Stability, and the Isle of Beauty

Experience the dramatic coastlines and pristine nature of the Isle of Beauty with unparalleled comfort. A catamaran charter in Corsica offers the ultimate platform for exploring the Mediterranean, providing massive living spaces and zero ocean swell at anchor. With a shallow draft, renting a multihull allows you to access secluded, turquoise bays like the Lavezzi archipelago and anchor much closer to the spectacular granite cliffs and white-sand beaches, ensuring a luxurious and stable base for your French island adventure.

Why Rent a Catamaran in Corsica?

Unmatched Stability: Twin hulls mean no leaning underway and a peaceful, flat platform at anchor, ensuring everyone on board feels relaxed while enjoying sunset views of the rugged coastline.

  • Shallow Draft: Access the most beautiful, shallow anchorages like the Lavezzi Islands or Roccapina, and drop your hook much closer to the shore than traditional sailboats can safely manage.
  • Expansive Living Space: Enjoy panoramic views from the saloon, massive lounging nets on the bow, and a spacious cockpit perfect for dining al fresco under the warm Corsican sun.
Captain’s Insider Tip: The Strait of Bonifacio “The Strait of Bonifacio is famous for its accelerated winds. A catamaran offers a highly stable platform for this exciting passage, but always check the forecast. Arrive at the spectacular port of Bonifacio early, as maneuvering a wide multihull into the narrow fjord requires focus.”
