What type of boat should I choose for a charter in Solenzara?
For boaters in search of adventure and exploration, the sailboat remains a perfect ally. This one will allow you to explore the most secret corners of the island! Filovent has a wide range of sailboats departing from Solenzara. We recommend that travelers wishing to enjoy a relaxing cruise rent a catamaran, which will guarantee space and comfort throughout their stay. A catamaran can accommodate more people on the side of the boat than a sailboat.
The skipper will allow you to rent any boat without having any sailing experience! He will be able to give you advice on your sailing itinerary and show you the most beautiful places on the island. A charter with a skipper allows you to enjoy more convivial moments on the boat as well as the breathtaking landscapes of your cruise!
What is the best time for a yacht charter in Solenzara?
Corsica is an ideal playground for beautiful sailing. However, because of its relief, the wind changes direction quickly, which can make sailing quite challenging. To avoid being caught off guard by the Mistral and the Libeccio, the main Mediterranean winds that blow in Corsica, we advise you to always check the wind conditions using applications such as Windy or Météo Consult. As Thomas, who went sailing with Filovent in Corsica, told me: "To sail in Corsica, you need to have a general idea of the sailing itinerary you want to follow and make adjustments on the spot depending on the wind".
The climate in Corsica is considered temperate Mediterranean. The island enjoys sunshine all year round and the summers are hot and dry. The weather from May to September is favorable for a boat cruise, however to avoid the influx of tourists we recommend that you go in May, June or September.
