Even today, the Côte d'Azur and Corsica remain at the top of yacht charter destinations. The Côte d'Azur is the quintessential rendez-vous point for the "jet-set". From Saint Tropez to Monaco, passing by Cannes, Golfe Juan and Nice, you can admire the coast, visit the Islands of Porquerolles (a small paradise), the Isles of Lérins, go shopping in the most prestigious shops, watch the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix or just relax and unwind with a cocktail on the port of Saint Tropez after admiring the Regatta Royal.

The French Riviera will take your breath away with its beauty, modern architecture and traditional values, its white sandy beaches, its gourmet restaurants and also by the exceptional and varied possibilities for mooring your yacht.

Not far to the south lies the Island of beauty, Corsica. The inhabitants are very proud of their Island and they protect it with fervor and enthusiasm. From Saint Florent to Porto-Vecchio, through Calvi, the Capo Rosso, Campomoro, Bonifacio or the bay of the Rondinara you can enjoy the cultural heritage of this island by discovering the Genoese towers, the beauty of Sanguinaires, or taste the crawfish freshly caught in the bay of Girolata. With its caves and its natural waters, Corsica is the ideal place for jet-skiing and diving amongst a wide range of available water sports.

Corsica also incorporates a number of natural and historical sites and protected areas which have been the object of national and international recognition, notably for worldwide heritage by UNESCO. With its international marine park, and its Regional Nature Park which spreads to both sides of the island through by the mountain chain between Calvi and Porto-Vecchio and stretches over more than a third of the island, Corsica remains a broadly preserved island. With more than 2000 plant varieties, Corsica will dazzle you with colours.

The spring is full of the scent of flowers, and the wild beauty of the local vegetation. The autumn is similarly delightful when they celebrate the chestnut season in the villages - The summer effectively speaks for itself, with a multitude of options between fun and relaxing under a beautiful sun or starry skies. Corsican nature can be discovered in every season....
