Monaco to Corsica by Yacht: A Luxury Itinerary & Planning Guide

The Monaco–Corsica Connection

The passage from Monaco to Corsica is one of the Mediterranean's classic yacht routes. In just 100 nautical miles, you transition from Europe's most glamorous coastline to one of its most unspoiled islands.

Route Options

Option A: Direct Crossing (100nm)

Monaco to Calvi in 8–10 hours. Many captains depart in the evening for an overnight passage, arriving at Corsica's northern tip at dawn — a magical way to begin your island adventure.

Option B: Via Saint-Tropez (150nm total, 2–3 days)

The scenic route. Cruise from Monaco along the Côte d'Azur to Saint-Tropez (Day 1), then cross from Saint-Tropez to northern Corsica (Day 2–3). This reduces the open-water passage to ~70nm.
