Who LA DESIRADE suits
LA DESIRADE is a sailing catamaran perfectly suited for groups of up to 9 guests who appreciate a modern vessel. Her 4 cabins provide comfortable accommodation for families or friends looking to explore the coast. On board, guests can enjoy the convenience of air conditioning and a coffee machine, while those seeking active days on the water have access to a foilboard and a sailing dinghy. The layout ensures a relaxed atmosphere during time spent at sea.
When positioned in the West Mediterranean, Corsica & Sardinia, the French Riviera, the South of France, or Tuscany, she stands out among comparable sailing vessels. Her length is similar to other yachts in the area, yet she takes more guests than most alternatives. As a 2025 build, she represents a newer option for those who prioritise recent construction, and her weekly rate sits at a similar level to the alternatives found in these waters.
The best time to experience her is between May and October, when the cruising season is in full swing. June and September are particularly favourable for those who prefer quieter anchorages and steady sailing breezes. While July and August bring warm temperatures, travellers should anticipate higher marina occupancy. By October, evenings become cooler and weather patterns shift, though the region remains a compelling destination for a charter through the end of the year.

Cruising Corsica & Sardinia: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The cruising season runs from May to October. July and August bring warm temperatures, low rainfall, and peak marina occupancy, particularly around the Costa Smeralda. May, June, and September offer quieter anchorages and steady sailing breezes. October sees cooler evenings and increasing frontal activity. The prevailing westerly and north-westerly winds, notably the Mistral, can accelerate significantly through the Strait of Bonifacio.
Practical tips
- Porto Cervo is about 30–40 minutes from Olbia airport (OLB), whilst Bonifacio is about 25 minutes from Figari (FSC). Ajaccio (AJA) and Bastia (BIA) serve Corsica.
- Cruising the Maddalena Archipelago requires a paid permit purchased in advance, whereas the neighbouring Lavezzi Islands require strict compliance with designated nature reserve zoning rules.
- The Strait of Bonifacio funnels wind and sea; monitor Mistral forecasts closely and maintain alternative anchorages on eastern coastlines during strong westerly conditions.
Anchorages to know
- BonifacioThis deep limestone fjord in southern Corsica provides secure shelter from prevailing winds, with berths situated beneath the medieval citadel.
- Cala di VolpeA wide, sheltered bay on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda offering good holding on sand and protection from westerly breezes.
- Lavezzi IslandsA granite archipelago south of Corsica offering anchorages in designated zones, subject to Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve environmental restrictions.
- Cala Coticcio, CapreraLocated in the Maddalena Archipelago, this narrow cove features granite surrounds and clear water, with access regulated by park authority mooring buoys.
