A 60 to 70m motor yacht Corsica in the 2026 summer window (June through September) runs $700,000 to $1,200,000 per week plus 30 to 35 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 24 crew. The Corsican structural reality at this bracket is at-anchor by default. Bonifacio's calanque is geometrically incapable of taking a 60m-plus hull alongside, Ajaccio's Charles Ornano basin holds a single Cat A 60m alongside on prior allocation, and Calvi's Quai de Plaisance does not extend to the bracket. The Bonifacio outer-roads on the Cap Pertusato eastern face holds the structural Corsican 60m-plus at-anchor footprint with shore-tender access through the inner harbour, and Calvi Bay outer-roads on the western face holds the equivalent on the northern leg. The Scandola Nature Reserve UNESCO concession runs the structurally tight daylight-only permit framework on the bracket. The bracket-fit Corsican week routes the southern shore programme through the Hotel U Capu Biancu, the Domaine de Murtoli, the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa, and the A Cantina di l'Orriu shore-tender food product.
Why the Corsican alongside structure breaks at the bracket
Bonifacio's inner harbour. The Bonifacio calanque inside the chalk cliffs is the bracket's structural blocker. The inner basin's berth inventory tops out at the 40 to 50m envelope, and the outer commercial mole runs the 50m line on the working-port fishing-and-ferry priority. The 60m-plus hull anchors at the Bonifacio outer-roads on the Cap Pertusato eastern face and runs the shore tender through the inner harbour to the Bastion de l'Étendard quay on the daily structure.
Ajaccio Charles Ornano. The Charles Ornano basin runs a single Cat A 60m-plus alongside slot on prior allocation through the captain's office, and the wider Tino-Rossi inner basin holds the 30 to 50m fleet on the daily Ajaccio routing. The Charles Ornano slot reads the structural Corsican alongside option at the bracket and runs on the 9 to 12 month lead time on the central July to August window.
Calvi Bay outer-roads. Calvi Quai de Plaisance handles the 30 to 50m alongside on the central daily structure. The 60m-plus hull anchors in Calvi Bay outer-roads on the western face under the citadel and runs the shore tender through the inner Quai Landry on the daily structure. The Calvi outer-roads reads the structural northern Corsican base on the wider Scandola and Cap Corse extension.
The Scandola Nature Reserve UNESCO permit. The Scandola UNESCO concession runs the daylight-only permit framework on the structurally tight bracket allocation through the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse and the OEC marine wardens. Night anchorage inside the reserve is not available at the bracket. The bracket-fit Scandola daylight runs the structural Corsican northern highlight on the prior daylight permit confirmed in writing at contract.
The Ajaccio AJA Cat A helipad shuttle. Ajaccio AJA at 41 degrees 55 minutes north handles the bracket-fit Cat A helipad guest-transfer on the 12 to 18 minute Bonifacio or Calvi touch-and-go routing on the Corse Hélicoptères or Monacair shuttle structure. The bracket without the Cat A helipad reads structurally short on the cross-island Bonifacio to Calvi northern leg.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm summer pricing (June through September 2026) before APA at 30 to 35 percent (the French Tyrrhenian fuel cost, the Bonifacio outer-roads tender consumption on the daily inner-harbour shuttle, the Scandola Nature Reserve permit fee, and the Ajaccio AJA Cat A helipad shuttle premium) and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The French charter VAT runs the standard 20 percent framework on the portion of the charter in French waters under the French commercial exemption rules.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $700K to $810K per week | $530K to $640K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $810K to $980K per week | $620K to $760K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $980K to $1,200K per week | $740K to $920K per week |
Rates sit 6 to 9 percent below the Costa Smeralda equivalent at the same LOA, reflecting the structural at-anchor reality, the lighter French port-fee load south of Bonifacio versus the Italian Costa Smeralda framework, and the slightly older average build year on the French Corsican rotation. The peak window runs the last week of July through the third week of August on the wider Ferragosto Mediterranean calendar. The June and September shoulder windows read 14 to 20 percent below the August central peak. For wider context see 60-70m Mediterranean and the lower-LOA comparison at 50-60m Corsica.
What the bracket includes in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main and lower-deck doubles, calibrated to the 12 to 14 guest envelope on the structural Sardinia-Corsica pairing peak-week pattern.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-four. The Corsican call rewards a captain bench with prior Bonifacio outer-roads anchor judgement on the Cap Pertusato swell window, prior Calvi Bay outer-roads anchor routine, prior Scandola Nature Reserve permit-day routing on the daylight-only framework, prior Lavezzi and Cerbicale daylight rotation, and prior Ajaccio AJA Cat A helipad coordination. The chief stew bench with prior Hotel U Capu Biancu, Domaine de Murtoli, and Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa shore-coordination is the structural client-facing load-bearing question.
Tenders. Primary 12 to 14m fast tender plus a 10 to 11m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus a 9 to 10m limousine tender. The Bonifacio inner-harbour shore tender to the Bastion de l'Étendard quay, the Calvi inner Quai Landry shore tender, the Lavezzi Island daylight on the swimming-line, the Cerbicale archipelago daylight, and the Scandola daylight on the prior permit run tender-heavy on the daily structure.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing at the bracket. The Tyrrhenian summer holds the structurally light-swell window through July and August, but the bracket's at-anchor footprint on the Bonifacio outer-roads and Calvi Bay reads the structural fit on the at-anchor zero-speed product.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Ajaccio AJA 12 to 18 minute shuttle and the wider cross-island Bonifacio to Calvi northern leg.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The 7-night southern Corsica routing runs Ajaccio AJA embarkation through the Charles Ornano alongside on the prior single-slot allocation, one night at the Charles Ornano slot, two nights at the Bonifacio outer-roads with the inner-harbour shore tender to the Bastion de l'Étendard quay, one daylight at the Lavezzi archipelago, one daylight at the Cerbicale Islands, one night at the Porto-Vecchio Gulf outer anchor with the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa shore tender, one night at the Domaine de Murtoli shore-tender bay, one night on the Bonifacio outer-roads disembark with the Ajaccio AJA Cat A helipad shuttle.
The 10-night Corsica plus Sardinia extension runs the prior 7-night southern Corsica programme with the southbound passage to the Bonifacio Strait and the northern Costa Smeralda leg, two nights at the Marina di Porto Cervo north quay on prior allocation, and one night at the Cala di Volpe outer anchor with the Hotel Cala di Volpe shore tender.
What the bracket does not do well in Corsica
The non-prior-allocation Ajaccio Charles Ornano slot plan. The Charles Ornano 60m-plus alongside slot runs the structurally tight single-allocation framework on the 9 to 12 month lead time on the July to August central window, and the walk-up plan without the prior allocation runs as the structural blocker. We would pass on any non-prior-allocation Charles Ornano alongside plan and route the bracket on the Bonifacio and Calvi outer-roads at-anchor structure with the Charles Ornano single-night embarkation confirmed in writing through the captain's office at contract.
The non-prior-permit Scandola Nature Reserve daylight. The Scandola UNESCO permit framework runs the daylight-only structure on the structurally tight August allocation through the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse, and the walk-up Scandola plan without the prior permit runs as the structural blocker. We would pass on any non-prior-permit Scandola daylight plan at contract and route the booking with the permit confirmed in writing at contract.
The November through April Corsican plan. The Tyrrhenian-French charter calendar runs the structural June through September window at the bracket, with the May and October shoulder edges holding on the structurally tight basis on the Bonifacio and Ajaccio winter shutdown. The November through April plan runs the wider French winter inventory shutdown on the bracket-fit berth structure. We would pass on the November through April Corsican plan and route the bracket on the Caribbean winter rotation.
