Spend a full morning under sail aboard an elegant yacht, tracing the wild southern coastline from Bonifacio to the turquoise bays of Sperone — swimming off the transom, lunching on deck, and anchoring where the charts show only rock and sea. Pure Mediterranean freedom.
What to expect
Cast off from Bonifacio's marina and let the skipper set the mainsail as the citadel shrinks behind you. The route arcs east past the Plage du Petit Sperone — all powdery white sand and impossible turquoise — to the Plage du Grand Sperone, consistently rated among Corsica's finest beaches. You'll anchor for a long swim, perhaps snorkel over a reef, then drift to a quiet cove for a local charcuterie and wine spread on deck. The return sail as the afternoon light gildens the cliffs is pure cinematic Corsica.
Good to know
Full-day sailings (7–8 hrs) are best for ships with a late all-aboard; half-day options (4 hrs) exist for tighter schedules. Confirm departure times directly with the operator. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a light layer — sea breezes can be deceptive. Book well in advance in peak summer season.
