Where to sail in Calvi?
- Île Rousse and Saint Florent: Sailing from Calvi to Ile Rousse offers numerous anchorages in the coves and wild bays typical of Corsica. You can stop on the way near the town of Algajola, which has a small marina where you can take a break during your cruise. Once off the Ile Rousse, take the opportunity to berth and visit the Piatra Lighthouse and Saleccia Park. Then continue your yacht charter in the Agriates desert halfway between Ile Rousse and Saint-Florent, a wild and arid coastline conducive to contemplation.
- The Scandola nature reserve: Leaving Calvi by boat and heading south, you will pass in the open sea the Revellata point and its famous lighthouse.

The descent to the bay of Girolata may seem long but it is worth it: it offers numerous invitations to anchor and a natural site of rare beauty dominated by a Genoa fort.

Our advice for a successful yacht charter in Calvi:
- Familiarize yourself with local regulations: Before embarking on your sailboat charter, make sure you are familiar with the regulations in force in the region in terms of navigation zones, anchorages or protected areas.
- Documents and formalities: If you are the skipper of the boat, make sure you have a boat license to present. In addition, we strongly advise you to take out damage waiver insurance even if you hire a skipper: in the event of damage to the boat, you are directly responsible, and damage waiver protects you from any unintentional damage.
