Bastia–Piombino: what our readings show
On the Bastia–Piombino route, our readings from 17 August 2026 cover departures in August and September 2026. Two months only, and two months that diverge sharply on each of the profiles tracked. The prices quoted always distinguish the observed minimum from the average of the observations.
A single company on the route
Every crossing observed between Bastia and Piombino is sold by Corsica Ferries, from the foot-passenger ticket to the packages with a car and a cabin. There is no comparison between companies and no codeshare gap to read here. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the crossing starts from €32.00 and comes out at €65.34 on average across all the dates recorded.
August 2026 at the peak, September 2026 at the floor
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, August 2026 carries an average of €70.90 and drops to a minimum of €42.00, reached on 31 August 2026: the range of August fares is wide. September 2026 works differently: minimum and average meet on a single value, €32.00, recorded on 5 September 2026 — the cheapest month of the window for this profile.
The same contrast repeats with a vehicle. For one adult, a car and a cabin, August 2026 settles at €225.50 on average for a minimum of €157.00, while September 2026 holds at €134.00 as a minimum and as an average alike. For two adults with a car and a cabin, August 2026 reaches €283.33 on average and a floor of €197.00, September 2026 coming back to €162.00. For two adults, two children, a car and a cabin, August 2026 climbs to €357.67 on average for a minimum of €252.00, September 2026 to €208.00. Across all the dates recorded, those three profiles come out respectively at €212.43, €266.00 and €336.29 on average.
Monday, the cheapest day recorded
The departure day weighs heavily, and our readings cover only three of them. For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, Monday carries the lowest average, €50.00, while Friday and Saturday sit almost level with each other, €76.40 and €77.00, clearly above. On the packages with a vehicle, Friday moves ahead on its own as the dearest day: for one adult with a car and a cabin, €184.33 on Monday against €261.00 on Friday; for two adults, €230.33 against €329.00; for two adults and two children, €292.33 against €415.00. On each of the four profiles, Monday is the cheapest day recorded.
The cheapest dates
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the best price of the window goes to Saturday 5 September 2026, at €32.00, ahead of Monday 31 August 2026 at €42.00 and Monday 17 August 2026 at €43.00. The fourth rank already marks a step up: Monday 24 August 2026 at €65.00, then Friday 21 August 2026 at €76.40 and Saturday 29 August 2026 at €77.00. The list closes on Saturday 22 August 2026, at €122.00, the dearest departure of that ranking. On the average by day, the cheapest day remains Monday, at €50.00; the best date of the window, for its part, falls on a Saturday: the ranking of the days and the ranking of the dates do not overlap.
Across the packages with a vehicle, the top of the list rests on the same three dates. For one adult with a car and a cabin, the best departure goes to Saturday 5 September 2026, at €134.00, ahead of Monday 17 August 2026 at €157.00 and Monday 31 August 2026 at €159.00. For two adults, the order does not move: €162.00, €197.00 then €198.00. For two adults and two children, the second and third places swap: behind a floor at €208.00, Monday 31 August 2026 moves in front at €252.00, with Monday 17 August 2026 next at €255.00.
From the fourth rank on, the three packages give the same dates in the same order. Monday 24 August 2026 comes fourth — €237.00 for one adult, €296.00 for two adults, €370.00 for the family of four —, ahead of Saturday 29 August 2026 (€258.00, €327.00 and €413.00) and Friday 21 August 2026 (€261.00, €329.00 and €415.00). The three meet again on the last date of the list, Saturday 22 August 2026: €281.00, €353.00 and €441.00.
On the reclining-seat profile, the best return trip recorded pairs a departure on 17 August 2026 at €43.00 with a return on 21 August 2026 at €28.00, or €71.00 for the two legs, with Corsica Ferries in both directions.
What these readings cover
Our data covers departures in August and September 2026 only.

In September 2026, across the four profiles, minimum and average coincide, around the single day of 5 September 2026.
