Catamaran Voyage Corsica
The west coast of Corsica is one of the most spectacular sailing grounds in the Mediterranean: red granite cliffs plunging sheer into the sea, deep gulfs and coves reachable only from the water. The route from Ajaccio runs along the Calanche into the Gulf of Porto with the roadless hamlet of Girolata, through the Scandola nature reserve to the citadel town of Calvi, and back via Cargèse and Sagone. Two UNESCO World Heritage sites lie along this coast, with anchorages beneath maquis-clad slopes in between.
Highlights
- Scandola - a UNESCO nature reserve of red porphyry, accessible only by boat and home to ospreys
- Gulf of Porto and Girolata - a deep gulf beneath red mountains, the hamlet of Girolata with no road access
- Calvi - a Genoese citadel above a broad bay with a long sandy beach
- Cargèse - a village with a Greek and a Latin church, founded by Greek settlers

Region: Corsica - West Coast and Gulf of Porto
What makes this region special
Corsica is the wildest of the large Mediterranean islands. Two-thirds of its area is mountains, and the hinterland is so empty that you can walk for half a day without meeting anyone. Seen from the water, the island rises like a wall of granite from the sea. Its west coast is its most dramatic side: instead of gentle sandy bays you find sheer rock faces, deep calanche gorges and gulfs often reachable only by boat.
Scandola and the Gulf of Porto are a UNESCO World Heritage Site - red porphyry cliffs, sea caves and the roadless hamlet of Girolata, reached only by boat or on foot. Further north lies Calvi, with its Genoese citadel above a wide bay. Cargèse was founded in the 17th century by Greek refugees and to this day has two churches, one Greek Orthodox and one Catholic. In between you anchor in bays where the scent of maquis reaches out across the water.
Short passages, a reliable afternoon breeze and a coastline barely built up and never overcrowded - western Corsica is a cruising ground for those who prefer wild nature to bustle.
