Porto Vecchio Luxury Yacht Charters

Situated in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the beautiful island of Corsica is Porto Vecchio, an idyllic and enchanted Mediterranean port. It’s a popular destination for superyachts that can anchor off the town’s harbour. Located 25 miles north of Bonifacio on the south-east coast of Corsica is Porto Vecchio. Many people flock to the superb beaches south of the town such as Favone, Tarco, Pinerello and Cala Rossa to name but a few.

Palombaggia Beach is one of the most popular places to visit when enjoying a Porto Vecchio yacht charter. It faces the Cerbicales Islands and is a nature reserve in an idyllic setting. With its orange rocks and umbrella pines overlooking the beach, clear waters, shops as well as cabins, spend a day in paradise. Take a trip to the natural fountains in Cavu Valley which is close to the town of Rosso Taglio. Check out the transparent water fountain with its natural pools and white rocks, absolutely stunning.

For those who prefer strolling through the town, Porto Vecchio is charming with its narrow streets. Many of the houses here are no higher than the walls in which the homes were built, only the Roman palace is higher. Enjoy a coffee al fresco around the Place de la Republique or the Cours Napoleon.

If you fancy some time off your luxury charter yacht to venturing inland, the Alta Rocca Mountains offer deep gorges, rivers and amazing waterfalls to see. Here you can go mountain walking, swimming in rock pools, have a picnic, horse ride or rock climbing. Why not visit a traditional Corsican village for lunch before returning to Porto Vecchio then onwards back to your charter yacht? Also, away from the coast is the Ospedale Forest and Lake, wander among the granite boulders and pines or head for Col de Bavella which has spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Back to the beaches of Porto Vecchio. Anchoring offshore will give you plenty of opportunity to enjoy a variety of water sports. There’s jet skiing in Palombaggia, snorkelling in Santa Giulia and paddle boating at La Rondinara. If you love scuba diving, Bonifacio is the place to go.

Set sail for the medieval citadel and harbour in Bonifacio which is on the southern tip of Corsica, just half an hour away from Porto Vecchio. Enjoy the dramatic scenery and ocean views as you cruise towards Bonifacio. Bonifacio is full of character with boats of all sizes at anchor. The marina has recently been refurbished with plenty of amenities and facilities available.
