CORSICA & SARDINIA YACHT CHARTER GUIDE
PROVIDING THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF EFFORTLESS CHARM AND ELEGANCE, A CORSICA & SARDINIA YACHT CHARTER PROVIDES AN INIMITABLE STYLE THAT IS UNIQUE BUT TOTALLY DIFFERENT
Discover the rugged and mountainous island of Corsica and the exclusive coastline of Sardinia with a Corsica & Sardinia yacht charter. The two islands have an inimitable style, and, combined in one itinerary, provide a perfect blend of French and Italian charm. The land that shaped Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsica is notorious for its unspoiled, untamed countryside. Just as Corsica is a favored retreat for chic French travelers, Sardinia is one of Italy’s most glamorous places to spend summer. Lying over the Bonifacio Straits, the coastline of the Costa Smeralda sparkles with designer boutiques and exclusive restaurants, along with a staggering variety of landscapes. Its beauty is legendary, while its beaches are often compared to those of the Caribbean.
SAMPLE ITINERARY
CHARTER EXPERIENCE
The islands of Corsica and Sardinia may be different in their nationalities but due to their close proximity it is more than worthwhile combining both with a Corsica & Sardinia yacht charter. The incredible diversity of Corsica’s landscape, from the mysterious mountains to perfect powdery beaches, provides a stunning backdrop to any yacht charter. You can expect charming fishing villages and sheltered anchorages along the west coast. The deep bays are ideal for watersports while the southern coastline has plenty of golden sand, with the Gulf of Valinco boasting some of the island’s prettiest beaches. Corsica is always at risk from the mistral and the swells that it brings, however, when calm the island offers some of the most picturesque cruising in the Mediterranean.
The Maddalena National Park and Porto Lungo lie between the two islands and offer stunning waters for a peaceful anchorage. The archipelago of sixty islands and islets is perfect for those who love to snorkel.
Stretching from Golfo Aranci to Baia Sardinia, the waters off Sardinia offer some of the best sailing conditions in the world. At the heart of the Costa Smeralda is the exclusive enclave of Porto Cervo, with its marina nestling in a sheltered harbor. Long favored by the jet set, the shoreline is where you will find designer boutiques and exclusive restaurants, while the surrounding coves offer warm waters and white sandy beaches. However, the island has a lot more to offer than Porto Cervo (as lovely as it is). The south is home to forested mountains, citrus groves, emerald seas and medieval villages, which combined with the five-star resorts, make for a perfect addition to any charter itinerary.
