Corsica at 150,000 Euros per week represents the upper mid-market of the French Mediterranean charter. The 4 vessels available in this rate band around Corsica include motor yachts of 42 to 52 metres and premium sailing yachts with the range to extend the week’s itinerary to Sardinia’s Maddalena Archipelago, the Tuscan coast or the Ligurian Riviera. These are recent vessels, typically less than ten years old, staffed by crews of six or seven with strong western Mediterranean experience.nnCorsica’s appeal at this level is its combination of accessibility and wilderness. The island’s airports at Ajaccio, Bastia and Calvi connect to Paris in under two hours, while the coast immediately beyond the marina remains some of the most natural and unspoiled in France. The Scandola nature reserve’s red volcanic cliffs, the marine reserve at Lavezzi and the anchorages off the uninhabited Sanguinaires islands deliver a quality of natural experience that the Cote d’Azur cannot replicate.nnThe APA at 150,000 Euros per week is 25 to 30 percent, 37,500 to 45,000 Euros, supporting full provisioning, marina fees at multiple ports and fuel for passages that may extend beyond the island. Sardinia is achievable within a day’s passage from Bonifacio, making a cross-island circuit ending in Porto Cervo a natural option for the end of the week.nnCorsica’s culinary culture, built on local charcuterie, fresh seafood, chestnut products and fine island wines, rewards guests who eat well both on board and in the island’s small fishing ports.
