So how about giving it a try too? Rent a sailboat in Corsica and let yourself be won over by the natural beauty of this island!
A dive in the Lavezzi islands, an afternoon discovering the nature reserve of Scandola or the Sanguinaires islands, or even a quiet sail in the Calanques de Piana... The list of unforgettable memories starts here and goes on, and on.
Renting a sailboat in Corsica will be ideal for getting to know the region from a surprising perspective, to combine the exciting moments at sea with those on dry land, perhaps discovering its long history, traditions and local cuisine.
How much does it cost to charter a sailboat in Corsica?
The price of renting a sailboat in Corsica varies according to the choices of each owner, the type and size of the boat, the period and duration of the rental, or even the possible need to request additional services on board, such as a skipper or a crew.
On average, the daily cost of renting a sailboat starts at around £115 per day, excluding the costs of captain, fuel and mooring.
However, for weekly rentals, which are more frequent during the summer season, a minimum budget of around £575 is required, but owners tend to create customised offers to suit the needs of each sailor.
