Sailing to Corsica means turning the journey itself into an unforgettable experience, one that becomes an integral part of the adventure. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a beginner looking for an escape, there are several ways to sail to the Isle of Beauty. From shared crossings with professional skippers to peer-to-peer boat rentals, here’s your complete guide to reaching Corsica by sailboat.

1. Click&Boat: Peer-to-peer boat rentals, à la carte

If you're dreaming of a free-spirited voyage to Corsica, check out Click&Boat, the platform for renting boats from both individuals and professionals. Thousands of listings are available throughout the Mediterranean, with or without a skipper.

You can rent a sailboat in Marseille, Toulon, or Nice to cross over to Bastia, Calvi, or Bonifacio. Or rent directly in Corsica to explore the island by sea.

👉 Prices vary greatly depending on the season and type of boat: count on starting from around €150 per day for a small sailboat.

It’s a super flexible solution for independent or assisted sailors, offering lots of choice and a smooth booking process.

2. Sailcoop: The cooperative that shares crossings

Sailcoop is a pioneering cooperative offering sailing crossings between mainland France and Corsica — accessible to all. The concept? Sharing routes to reduce carbon footprints and make sailing as easy as taking the train.

During the high season, regular departures are available between Hyères and Calvi, with a professional skipper on board.

👉 Fixed prices around €200–250 per person, all-inclusive.

An ideal alternative for those who want to travel without a boating license, without stress, and enjoy a unique human and maritime experience.

3. Locasail: Rent your own sailboat to reach Corsica

Locasail is a company specializing in sailboat and catamaran rentals, departing from Bandol — between Marseille and Toulon. Here, you're the captain of your own route. All the boats are owned by Locasail, ensuring a well-maintained fleet and direct contact with the team.

If you have sailing experience, you can rent a boat for 10 days or more and plan your own crossing to Corsica.

👉 Expect to pay between €2,000 and €4,000 per week depending on boat size and season. Port fees in Bandol are included for the full rental period.

A perfect option for experienced sailors or anyone wanting to personalize their trip to Corsica, blending freedom and comfort.
