The South of France is known for its luxury lifestyle, and Corsica blends a little touch of Italian flair to the mix.

Sailing Conditions
The South of France offers ideal sailing conditions for yachting enthusiasts. The Mediterranean Sea is generally calm and sheltered, with light winds and few storms.
The prevailing winds in the summer are the Mistral and the Tramontane, which can create some choppy conditions, but your experienced crew will ensure that your charter is safe and comfortable.
The best time to visit the South of France for a yacht charter is from May to September, when the weather is warm and sunny. July and August can be busy, so if you're looking for a quieter experience, consider visiting in May, June, or September.
