How long is a yacht charter season?

Yachting has two main seasons: summer (May to October) in the Mediterranean and winter (November to April) in the Caribbean, peaking at Christmas and New Year. Booking in the shoulder seasons offers crowd avoidance, flexible rates, and a wider selection.

Where can I charter a yacht?

With access to a global fleet of yachts for charter all over the world, Y.CO offers diverse yachting destinations. In the summer, the Mediterranean is a top choice, while the Bahamas and Caribbean draw many clients during the winter months.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht?

Charter rates are typically quoted by the week and prices vary depending on the model of the yacht, size, year built, and onboard amenities. Most yachts have higher rates during peak season (July, August, Christmas and New Year) with lower rates throughout the rest of the year.

Bastia

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.

Cliffs and Cocktails

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.

Your Guide to Bastia

Shores of Cap Corse

A Cap Corse yacht charter reveals a softer side: a safe, sandy 100km coastal road that’s blissfully empty. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist can arrange motorbikes, mountain bikes, or even kayaks and RIBs to reach hidden beaches. Try Plage de Barcaggio, where wild donkeys outnumber visitors; Plage de Tamarone, with its sand-made car park and beach bar; or Plage d’Erbalunga, home to a tiny restaurant serving local ham, figatellu, and sheep’s cheese. Craving Parmesan instead? Jetski 60km east to Italy’s shimmering island of Elba.

Your Guide to Bastia

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!
