Set in the Mediterranean, south east off the mainland coast of France, the island of Corsica is the ideal location for combining beach hopping and a coastal tour with a charter sailing vacation.

For those arriving by charter yachts or pleasure boats the first port of call can be Bastia. It is Corsica’s main centre of commerce for the northern part of the island.

For those touring the island by yacht, before sailing down the western coast, there are some dramatic views that should not be missed namely the "Calanques de Piana" around the northern peninsular. They are composed of pink granite. It is possible to get a closer view by road from Bastia. The best views and the most photogenic are those captured from the sea at sunset.

Sailing down the western coast anti-clockwise around Corsica, one first meets the small island (Ile Rousse), before arriving at the port of Calvi. This is a splendid port and town to investigate although it is rather more exclusive in having only 350 moorings. Leaving Calvi, you will next view the wildest part of the Corsican coast at Scandola. It has an important nature reserve, which has been recognised as a World Heritage area for wild life preservation.

Possibly the largest anchorage is to be found at Ajaccio with its two marinas and over 1,000 berths. This is a "must-see" port and is part of the very deep Porto Gulf, which attracts many visitors in their luxury yachts and charter boats during the holiday season.

At the southern-most tip of Corsica is the medieval fortress town of Bonifacio with its famous golf course.
