A Corsica & Sardinia yacht charter to two gems of the Mediterranean present a yacht charter vacation dream come true. From the ancient cliffs of the smaller island of Corsica to the palatial estates and ritzy resorts of Sardinia, history meets the modern playground of the super wealthy in a hypnotic disparity of mesmerizing cultures only a few kilometers apart.
The spectacular views from atop the rugged cliffs lining the Corsican coastline offer postcard perfect pictures with every click of the shutter. The beautiful beach at Palombaggia, near the town of Porto Vecchio is unspoiled by beach houses and resorts. Nature in the raw is evident throughout most of Corsica’s rugged mountain terrain. The island is indeed a promised land for adventurous hikers and well-tuned cyclists.
The ancient city of Bonifacio is perched on a high cliff overlooking the harbor. The old city reflects its roguish history throughout the narrow streets lined with centuries old architecture. Corsica is famous for its criminal past.
The local cuisine is known for its clams filled with cream or melted Roquefort, a striking specialty. Corsica in general is a meaty place, featuring all types of ham, salami and local cheeses and wines. Not as much seafood as one would expect from a Mediterranean island with quaint fishing villages lining its northern coast. Wild boar is one of the island’s delicacies.
Although many of the locals speak Corsican, a language closely related to Tuscan; French, Italian, German, and English are widely understood. Like the language, Corsica is steeped in tradition and gives the illusion of being frozen in time, which is the better part of its rustic charm.

Sardinia, however, is another Mediterranean magnet attracting royalty and wealth, as well as the famous and infamous. This is evident particularly on Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, a 12.5-mile strip lined with Russian and other billionaires’ palatial villas, retreats, and private beaches.
Sardinia is definitely a foodie’s delight. Meat, fish, and pasta is available in abundance throughout the Italian-leaning eateries that span the gamut from affordable cafes to the finest in high end dining,
Traditional dishes include tiny, shell-like maloreddu pasta, wild piglet cooked in honey and spaghetti with sea urchins. Fresh fish is grilled, fried, roasted or poached and often topped with elaborate sauces and dressings or a specialty called “bottarga,” delicious Sardinian mullet roe.
Sardinia’s colorful history and culture offer a plethora of attractions for the cruising vacationer. A tour of the protected archipelago of La Maddalena shows off the island’s beautiful pink-sand atolls. A trip to the ruins of the prehistoric village of Barumini, with its stone towers, reveals a little of what the island must have been like several thousand years ago.
Just as Corsica was a rogue’s hideaway for France, Sardinia was once Italy’s Wild West. The town of Orgaloso is a former bandit stronghold now renowned for the artistic political murals decorating its walls.
There is no shortage of things to see and do on a luxury Corsica & Sardinia yacht charter. Several yachting vacations could easily be spent exploring the wonders that these gems of the Mediterranean have to offer.
