PORTO-VECCHIO

 

 

 

Maximum length: 164ft (50m)

Number of berths over 80ft (24m):12

The marina of Porto-Vecchio is a small but glamorous gateway to Corsica’s most popular resort as well as the beautiful Gulf of Porto-Vecchio.

Though the marina may be small, the Gulf offers a variety of safe anchorages. The famous beach, Palombaggia, is just around the headland to the south along with many more of Corsica’s famous east-coast sands that can be explored in the yacht’s tender. The award-winning restaurant, Casadelmar, is on the southern edge of the Gulf and Cala Rossa lies on the northern headland.

PORTO ROTONDO

 

 

 

Maximum length: 246ft (75m)

Number of berths over 80ft (24m): 45

Draft: 18ft (5.5m)

Porto Rotondo lies at the southern end of the Costa Smeralda and therefore attracts a variety of superyachts every summer.

The ease of access to the moorings and the range of facilities available make it one of Sardinia’s most popular nautical destinations, not to mention the fact that some of the island’s most beautiful beaches are just a stone’s throw away.

BONIFACIO

 

 

 

Maximum length: 264ft (75m)

Number of berths over 80ft (24m): 50

Bonifacio is not merely a safe anchorage or sheltered marina, it is one of the Mediterranean’s most iconic harbors.

The sheltered natural harbor has accommodated various navies for centuries and its iconic citadel, perched atop the cliff, guards the harbor’s narrow entrance. Today, each summer sees Bonifacio’s long harbor channel fill up with yachts, their owners and guests curious to witness one of Corsica’s main attractions.
