Corsica is the most topographically dramatic island in the western Mediterranean. From the sea, it appears as a mountain range rising directly from the water — peaks above 2,700 metres visible from miles offshore, with the scent of wild rosemary, myrtle, and Mediterranean herbs carried on the wind long before the coastline comes into view. Napoleon once remarked that he could recognise Corsica blindfolded purely by its scent, a description of the island that still feels entirely accurate today.

Phoenix Charter Brokers have created this guide exploring Corsica’s four main cruising regions — the west coast, Bonifacio and the south, Cap Corse, and the eastern coastline — with insight into standout anchorages, historic coastal villages, and some of the island’s most notable dining addresses.
