Bastia
Corsica served raw
Corsica served raw
The Port of Bastia is 100% authentic. Rainbow-coloured mansions form an amphitheatre around 50 alfresco restaurants. Each restaurant buys seafood from waiting fishing boats. Before spiny lobster and gilthead bream are cooked to order for Bastia’s yacht charter guests anchored alongside. Tuck in. Because Bastia is a 30-minute sail from Corsica’s wildest coast.

INSPIRATIONAL ITINERARIES IN CORSICA
Cap Corse is 20km north of Bastia. This feral peninsula points towards France like a middle finger. 5G coverage is a joke. Cap Corse is covered with cork oak, wild figs and chestnut trees. A Y.CO hiking guide on your Corsica yacht charter will escort you to mountain passes. Here wild boar hunt and bearded vultures prey. Thirsty? Crew will mix a cocktail from local aperitif Mattei Cap Corse. It tastes as wild as the peninsula: cinchona bark, citrus peel, walnuts, rosemary.

A Cap Corse yacht charter has a softer side. The 100km highway around the peninsula is safe, sandy and utterly empty. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist will arrange motorbikes or mountain bikes. Or you can assault its empty beaches by kayak and RIB.
Need a beach shortlist? Plage de Barcaggio welcomes more wild donkeys than charter parties. Plage de Tamarone’s car park and beach bar are made entirely of sand. Plage d'Erbalunga hosts a tiny restaurant that serves rizuttu cured ham, figatellu liver sausage and juniper-studded sheep’s cheese. Prefer Parmesan cheese? Jump on a jetski to the Italian island of Elba. It shimmers in the distance 60km east.
Sweeping Bays. Golden Beaches.
More sand? Sail south from Bastia. It’s an endless sandy shore. Plage de Bravone is silky, breezy and a windsurfers’ paradise. Plage Chiosura is scented by eucalyptus and has seldom seen a bottle of La Roche-Posay sunscreen. It’s also a top place for crew to inflate towables, slides or your floating trampoline. Plage Linguizzetta is Garden-of-Eden-gorgeous. That’s because it’s Europe’s longest naturist beach. If you’re using a mask, a glass-bottomed kayak or your own private submersible, look out!
