Ferries to Corsica from Sardinia
Sardinia to Corsica is simple: Santa Teresa Gallura to Bonifacio is the all-year link, about 50 minutes and several sailings a day, and the only route frequent enough for a day trip. Corsica Ferries adds weekly and seasonal sailings from Porto Torres and Golfo Aranci for one-way legs of a longer trip.
Coming to Sardinia from the mainland? Livorno, Civitavecchia, Genoa and the French routes are compared in our guide to the ferry to Sardinia.

The map shows every connection between the two islands. Frequencies vary a lot: some routes sail once a week, Santa Teresa to Bonifacio up to seven times a day, which is why it is the one to plan around.
About the crossings between Sardinia and Corsica
The routes
- Santa Teresa Gallura to Bonifacio: about 50 minutes, several sailings a day with Moby (cars carried) and, until 31 October 2026, Ichnusa Lines. The crossing itself is the attraction: the white cliffs of Bonifacio fill the view for the second half, and the town sits in a fjord-like inlet you sail straight into.
- Porto Torres to Ajaccio: Corsica Ferries, about 4h45 to 5h15. Roughly weekly in autumn and winter (in 2026/27 until early January), more often in summer.
- Porto Torres to Propriano: Corsica Ferries, seasonal; the next sailings are planned for late summer 2027.
- Golfo Aranci and Porto Torres to Porto-Vecchio, Golfo Aranci to Bastia: Corsica Ferries, summer or one-off sailings only, for example around New Year. Check the timetable before you plan around them.
In short
Santa Teresa to Bonifacio for a day trip or the island hop; the others as one-way legs when the dates line up. Once in Bonifacio, the boat trip to the Lavezzi islands is the excursion we would add. Source: Corsica Ferries timetable and Moby, checked 20 October 2026.

Tips for ferry travellers
These routes are always over-crowded and the communication is at the lowest possible quality in the world. Just read the reviews at Tripadvisor and know what you are booking. It’s not like I would advice you not to book these ferries: just know what you can expect.
What I love about Santa Teresa and Bonificio are located fairly close to each other, the ferry makes sense as a means of travelling. Also my experience with this was really peaceful, I went in March and it wasn’t too busy!
Hi Patrick,
100% True, these islands are close to each other and great to combine!
