Sailing tour introduction
Corsica is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 27 regions of France. Located only 12 miles from Sardinia and more than 140 miles from the French coast, Corsica is usually called "the mountain of the sea". Majestic and silent, sunny and generous, this island appeared from the depths of the sea as a result of tectonic movements of the crust.
Like vigilant guards, mountains rise over the island, with steep rocky walls beautiful in any season. The highest peaks of Monte Cinto and Monte Rotondo can be visible from any part of the island.
Total length of the coastline of Corsica, is about 1,000 km – which is the fifth part of the total coastline in France. Here you will find incredible diversity of nature from steep rock walls to wide sand beaches in hidden and secluded lagoons.

Customer reviews
How customer reviews and ratings work
We use the Average with Prior (also known as Bayesian Average) to calculate the total rating for each sailing cruise
Since new cruises could have very few reviews, each review can significantly impact the average score, potentially leading to misleading representations of the total score (e.g., one very positive or very negative review skewing the overall rating). To mitigate this, we use a "prior" or "default" score.
This means that each cruise, by default, starts with a rating of 4, which is calculated from 5 hypothetical reviews, each rated 4. This assumption provides a baseline level of performance that is neutral-to-positive.
For example, if a new cruise receives a 5-star review, the total rating will be adjusted to 4.17. Here's how it is calculated: (4 × 5) + 5 = 25 and then divided by the total number of reviews 6 (5 default + 1 actual review), resulting in 4.17
As more reviews come in, the weight of the actual reviews increases, and the influence of the prior diminishes.
