Porto Vecchio Luxury Yacht Charters
Situated in the Corse-du-Sud department of France on the beautiful island of Corsica is Porto Vecchio, an idyllic and enchanted Mediterranean port. It’s a popular destination for superyachts that can anchor off the town’s harbour. Located 25 miles north of Bonifacio on the south-east coast of Corsica is Porto Vecchio. Many people flock to the superb beaches south of the town such as Favone, Tarco, Pinerello and Cala Rossa to name but a few.
Palombaggia Beach is one of the most popular places to visit when enjoying a Porto Vecchio yacht charter. It faces the Cerbicales Islands and is a nature reserve in an idyllic setting. With its orange rocks and umbrella pines overlooking the beach, clear waters, shops as well as cabins, spend a day in paradise. Take a trip to the natural fountains in Cavu Valley which is close to the town of Rosso Taglio. Check out the transparent water fountain with its natural pools and white rocks, absolutely stunning.
For those who prefer strolling through the town, Porto Vecchio is charming with its narrow streets. Many of the houses here are no higher than the walls in which the homes were built, only the Roman palace is higher. Enjoy a coffee al fresco around the Place de la Republique or the Cours Napoleon.
If you fancy some time off your luxury charter yacht to venturing inland, the Alta Rocca Mountains offer deep gorges, rivers and amazing waterfalls to see. Here you can go mountain walking, swimming in rock pools, have a picnic, horse ride or rock climbing. Why not visit a traditional Corsican village for lunch before returning to Porto Vecchio then onwards back to your charter yacht? Also, away from the coast is the Ospedale Forest and Lake, wander among the granite boulders and pines or head for Col de Bavella which has spectacular views of the surrounding area.
Back to the beaches of Porto Vecchio. Anchoring offshore will give you plenty of opportunity to enjoy a variety of water sports. There’s jet skiing in Palombaggia, snorkelling in Santa Giulia and paddle boating at La Rondinara. If you love scuba diving, Bonifacio is the place to go.
Set sail for the medieval citadel and harbour in Bonifacio which is on the southern tip of Corsica, just half an hour away from Porto Vecchio. Enjoy the dramatic scenery and ocean views as you cruise towards Bonifacio. Bonifacio is full of character with boats of all sizes at anchor. The marina has recently been refurbished with plenty of amenities and facilities available.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Hey Trina, the charter was perfect! The crew was very professional but always kind and accommodating. Beautiful boat. The captain had the right hookups wherever we went, so it was an amazing trip all around. Highly recommend this boat to your clients. Magical trip!
The crew was awesome (5/5). They worked so well together and really seemed to enjoy working together. They took care of our every need and then some. The cuisine was amazing (5/5). The chef was excellent and had a broad range of cuisine. The country kitchen setup gave us a greater opportunity to interact with the chef, which was a really nice feature. The yacht's interior was immaculate (5/5), and the condition of the yacht was like new (5/5). We absolutely loved the layout, especially the indoor/outdoor option of the bar area on the top deck, and we loved the décor. The amenities onboard were excellent (5/5), with everything we needed and more. We particularly enjoyed the floating chairs and the beach chairs, and we had two great fishing trips - Bo and Hunter were fantastic on those outings. The only suggestion we would make is that the outside aft top deck was always in full sun. We would have used it much more if there had been some type of awning, similar to the one they have for the bow sitting area. We discussed this with the captain on Saturday, and he had already ordered it by Sunday! We would absolutely recommend Indigo and her crew to others. Although the yacht sleeps eight, we would recommend no more than six adults. If there are two to four children, then eight guests could work comfortably. As for your service, we honestly cannot think of a single thing you could have done differently or better to ensure the ultimate yachting vacation. You went so far above and beyond. Thank you!
LJ, this is the best service that we have experienced of any yacht. The table settings and Menu presentation is the best we have seen. Food was phenomenal, it was the most magnificent week. Rock. It’s beach set ups are some of the best we have ever seen too. Tender runs were always well coordinated and on time. We loved the tender that doubled as a fishing boat. The captain and crew are so well organized, they gel so well together and they are always happy. We would love to charter again next year.
Hi Trina – we are on our way home from a really great charter. This boat was really nice. It is extremely well laid out, it’s a newer very beautiful Italian boat (San Lorenzo). For a 78’, it felt like there was so much room on it. It was perfect for the 4 of us. The technology on the boat was really good. The staterooms were beautiful and all had their own bathroom, the main living and dining space was very well appointed and the fly bridge was very roomy and modern. I would definitely recommend this boat for a group of 4 to 5 people, but I would be cautious for a larger group, though I noticed they did have Charters on this boat with up to 8 people. The itinerary was perfect and we absolutely loved every single stop. We had a slip at a marina every night of the trip, and Erasmo was a master at docking this boat and dealing with the marinas. He even changed the order of the itinerary due to weather which worked out super well. Having the SeaDoo Spark Jet Ski made the entire trip for my son Henry. It was so much fun to have the jet ski available at every stop. The SeaBob was fun and got a lot of use and same with the paddleboard and we even got some wakeboarding in behind the tender. Jet skis and Seabobs will be a must for the next one. Erasmo was the best captain we had out of the 3 charters. He had such a great demeaner and took great care of us. He was super accommodating and had a very calm demeanor. He was great with the kids and was in such great command of everything. This crew was extremely friendly and helpful. They were absolutely wonderful. We had the most amazing time, so this was a huge success. Captain Erasmo is really good. SM
Hello Martha, Thank you! The trip was wonderful! The crew was very accommodating and sweet. The food was great! Thank you again! Best, M.N LAURENTIA / Sardinia – Sicily / 24 -31 July
Amanda, Great to hear from you again. I really do not know how you do it, but the yacht and especially the crew, which you recommended, were nothing but SPECTACULAR. We truly enjoyed every single day aboard CHRISTINA TOO. The boat was in mint condition, everything worked to perfection under Captain Alex’s supervision. He is great! Marcelle´s culinary knowledge and Chad´s service / bartending made it a truly remarkable experience. The crew worked like a Swiss clock. All the charters along the past 5 years have been extraordinary, this one in particular has been exactly that and much more. Our only regret: we should have booked a 10 day charter. Thank you so much for your care, attention to detail and for making it the best holiday so far. Looking forward for the next adventure! Best regards, HD CHRISTINA TOO /Bonifacio, Corsica – Olbia, Sardinia / 19-26 July
