Calvi, set beneath its Genoese citadel on the northwest coast of Corsica, is one of the most rewarding charter bases in the western Mediterranean. Its easy airport connections from Paris, a well-run marina and the immediate proximity of some of Corsica’s finest coastal scenery make it a charter destination that works equally for guests flying in from a busy schedule and those planning an extended European cruise. At 250,000 Euros per week, the fleet available covers the upper range of the charter market: motor yachts from 55 metres and larger sailing yachts with expedition-grade equipment.nnAt this rate, the 14 yachts operating in and around Calvi represent the genuine premium of the western Mediterranean fleet. These vessels carry beach clubs with direct water access, multiple tenders and toys, and crews of eight to ten who manage every detail of the guest experience. The vessels are typically less than eight years old and offer the latest in stabilisation and navigation.nnThe APA at 250,000 Euros per week runs 25 to 30 percent, 62,500 to 75,000 Euros, funding fuel, port fees, provisions and crew expenses. Passages to Porto Cervo, the Aeolian Islands or Portofino are all achievable within a week’s itinerary from Calvi. The Corsican coast itself, from Ile Rousse north to the Cap Corse tip, offers more destinations than most guests expect in a single week.nnCorsica’s combination of mountain scenery, exceptional food and uncrowded waters makes Calvi a charter base that rewards guests who return year on year.
