In France, motorboats rent license-free up to 6 hp (4.5 kW) ; above that, the French coastal license or an equivalent title is required. Sail needs no license at all. Operators check papers at the pontoon — if in doubt about a specific model, ask for the engine's real power before booking.

Bastia's waters, in practice

The eastern face of Cap Corse, a coast of tiny harbours and Genoese towers running up to Macinaggio. Wind-wise: a westerly libeccio that falls in gusts off the Cap’s relief, with steady easterly thermals in summer.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: Bastia’s Vieux-Port and the Toga marina just north. The local classics: Erbalunga and its tower, the Sisco and Pietracorbara marinas, and the Tuscan archipelago (Capraia, Elba) one crossing away. High season: from June to September, the east coast staying workable when the island’s west side is windy.
