When to go to Corsica?

Check the detailed forecast before you leave to avoid storms or strong winds. The Mistral and Libeccio are the prevailing winds, and can be quite strong, especially in summer.

Our advice for a successful catamaran charter in Corsica
Familiarize yourself with local regulations: Before boarding your sailboat, make sure you are familiar with the regulations in force in the region in terms of navigation zones, anchorages and protected areas. Take out damage waiver insurance: Even if you hire a skipper, you are directly liable in the event of damage to the boat. Damage waiver protects you from any involuntary damage.
