Day 1: French Riviera
Embark upon your 7 day crewed motor yacht charter from the French Riviera, the most glamorous destination in the Mediterranean. If you decide to depart from Cannes, we would recommend spending the day around Les Iles de Lerins with lunch at La Guérite, one of the most spectacular scenic spots and dining experiences in the South of France. Departing from St Tropez will allow you to try out Nikki Beach and Club 55 St Tropez, or perhaps the quiet anchorages of Cap Taillat as you settle into life onboard. Embark in Monaco and spend the day relaxing around the popular Villefranche Sur Mer and St Jean Cap Ferrat, two of our favourite French Riviera yacht charter destinations. You will cruise overnight to begin your adventure down Corsica's west coast the following day.

Day 2: Calvi and Girolata National Park
This morning you will wake in the delightful Corsican port town of Calvi. Here you will find a beautiful old citadel, long ramparts and a quaint marina, perfect for perusing the boutiques and stopping for a mid-morning coffee. This afternoon you can sail to the red rocks of the surrounding Girolata National Park that seem to leap out of a sailor’s dream. The Girolata National Park is one of the best-kept secrets in Mediterranean yachting and will dazzle your guests onboard. In addition to pristine beaches, there are some craggy rocky outcrops with a watchtower from the 17th century. Find a quiet anchorage and enjoy dinner on board under the stars. You will start cruising early to your next Corsica yacht charter destination, Ajaccio and the Scandola National Park.

Day 3: Ajaccio and Porticcio
There are some beautiful long stretches of beaches near Ajaccio and plenty of activities ashore, depending on the requirements of your charter. Napoleon Bonaparte was born in the area and you can visit his family’s house. Alternatively, kick back and relax onboard and find your paradise. We would recommend finding a quiet bay and enjoying water sports. There is no better destination to paddleboard and discover the tranquil Mediterranean waters. There are multiple options for dinner with many guests opting to dine at L'Arbousier in the Le Maquis Hotel Porticcio. The terrace at this restaurant is a Corsican dream. Your al fresco dining experience on the terrace faces west and you will, therefore, capture the amazing sunsets! After dark, the vistas glow magically with candles and lamps for a setting that nearly outshines the delicious food they serve.

Day 4: Propriano
Day 4 provides the opportunity to visit Propriano and its surrounding villages; the main street of this quaint town is lined with traditional architecture and has a plethora of cafes and designer shops, ideal for a wander before it gets too warm. The famous Corsican village of Campomoro is a lovely setting for a spot of lunch away from the busier ports. We would recommend leaving mid-afternoon to work your way down the coastline towards Bonifacio for your overnight. Bonifacio is the iconic Corsican town with a striking port entry, very similar to sailing into the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Once you have your place in the harbour, get ready for dinner and try the ever-popular Le Caravelle restaurant and sample their exquisite Seafood.
