Charter a superyacht in
No-one forgets their first approach to Bonifacio by yacht. Navigate between the mighty limestone cliffs, marvel at the medieval citadel, or explore hidden grottoes by tender. Swim in the crystal-clear lagoons of the nearby Lavezzi Islands, or just while away the hours strolling the 9th century Old Town and lunching on the waterfront. With its rich history and breathtaking setting, Bonifacio stands out as one of the world’s most captivating yachting destinations.
To have not seen Bonifacio from the water is to do yourself a great injustice. From the deck of your yacht, your first sight of the town is a line of tall villas clinging onto sheer cliffs. Your yacht rounds the entrance, cruising down a fjord-like inlet, fortifications hemming the clifftop. And suddenly, the ancient town of Bonifacio is revealed. Impregnable, historic, and downright gasp-worthy. From Bonifacio, a yacht is your launchpad for adventure — to Porto Vecchio, to the Lavezzi Islands, or across the strait to Sardinia’s Emerald Coast for a day of indulgence.

While your yacht offers decadent luxury, Bonifacio invites you to step ashore and discover its charm. The citadel is simply unmissable, as is the 187-step descent down to the sea along the Escalier du Roi d’Aragon. Wander the maze of narrow streets and staircases in the 9th-century Old Town, enjoy a concert of Corsican music in a church, or take a table on the edge of the harbour. If you’d like to venture inland, your captain will organise VIP experiences at wineries and visits to mountain villages. Return to your yacht to kayak along the limestone coast or drop anchor off secluded bays.
