Yacht Charter Corsica

The French island of Corsica boasts a wonderful Mediterranean climate. The best time to visit Corsica on a luxury superyacht is during the summer months, when you will enjoy beautifully warm waters on sun-drenched days. The shoulder season, spring and fall, is also a great time to visit when the weather is still warm but less intense, making it a great time for enjoying outdoor pursuits such as cycling and walking. During the shoulder season, you can also expect fewer crowds.
