Your possible stops during this cruise
Visit Corsica by sea and sailboat - a unique chance to discover the wonders of the Isle of Beauty, as it is known, and to make the most of its great pleasures. The cruise will take you to the south of Corsica, from the isolated port of Porto-Vecchio to Ajaccio via the breathtaking cliffs of Bonifacio and the region's many bays and beaches: Canette, Rondinara, Fazio ... unless you and your crew decide instead to visit the wild coastline of Sardinia which is not far away. At the end of the cruise you return to Porto-Vecchio. Energetic, fun and convivial, this cruise along the southern Corsican coastline and/or north Sardinia will enable you to live on board a sailboat with a crew and a sailing program adapted to your expectations and the crew's sailing ability. This spacious 14.5 metre-long monohull with its comfortable cabins and beautiful teak deck will take you on a tour of the magnificent coastline of Corsica, its tiny bays and crystal waters, and its wealth of flora and fauna. You can learn sailing or brush up on your technique with a qualified, experienced coach. The cruise involves on average 3-4 hours sailing per day, and 120 miles (193 km) per week, during which Jean-Luc will involve you in all manoeuvres. When the anchor is weighed, the beautiful teak deck is a delight for reading and sunbathing and perfect for taking an aperitif at sundown.

I had a great experience with Jean-Luc, our skipper and the whole group. 7 on board, left Porto Vecchio, heading for Sardinia, anchoring in coves all more beautiful than the other. Life on board was very easy, a participatory cruise, everyone was involved in everything from preparing meals to manoeuvring. Frankly, I recommend this experience to everyone! and above all a very big thank you to Charlotte de Skippair who listened to my expectations and found me this cruise, whereas I had taken it late!
Jean-Luc was top notch throughout the cruise. Very educational, he introduced us to the manoeuvres, was attentive to the expectations of the group he managed with a masterful hand and this, without forgetting the friendliness and good humour (aperitif and music on the sailboat 😉). We all got along very well and had a great time on board!
One evening, we anchored a beautiful cove in Murtolli with a beautiful beach. Of course, as soon as the anchor was dropped, we were all in the water and washed up on the beach. We were perfectly fine, so the boys in the group, went back to the sailboat and came back with a basket and an aperitif (our little evening and lunch ritual too!!)! The sun was slowly declining, our glasses filled with rosé we toasted and tasted our Corsican delicatessen at sunset, the turquoise water in front of us... In short, the good life! 😉
