Marinas & Yacht Clubs
The marina in Bonifacio has a total of 450 berths, of which 160 are designated for visiting yachts. Maximum draught in the harbour is 3.5m. Yachts moor bows or stern-to on wooden pontoons. Water and electricity on each pontoon. There are facilities and showers in the marina. A chandlery is close by on the waterfront and there is also a slipway and 40T crane. Fuel can be delivered by tanker.
Offshore Islands
The Iles Lavezzi are about six miles east of Bonifacio. Beautiful Island with 2 main anchoring spots. The approach for the one on the east is well marked with yellow buoys forming a channel. Watch out for rocks on both sides. The space is very small and it gets very busy in high season. Not protected from winds apart from SW. Depths of about 3m.
Anchorage on west side more protected from Easterlies, and tend to be less crowded.(details needed). The island features 2 cementeries with casualties of the famous shipwreck in 1855 of La Semillante, in which 700 people died.
Corsica is very different from Sardinia: the geography, the language and the food. A startling contrast with Sardinia is also the pleasant joie de vivre of the french; the towns are full of life, with dozens of restaurants, pizzerias and creperie to tempt you every evening.
