Day 1: Porto Cervo
Embark your Sardinia yacht charter in the Cala di Volpe Bay and enjoy a traditional lunch on board at anchor. Sardinia is famous for fresh seafood so why not start your Italian yacht charter with the famous Spaghetti Alle Vongole and the local Vermentino white wine. You will be mesmerised by the cerulean waters surrounding the Costa Smeralda, which are ideal for water sports. Towards the end of the afternoon, make the short passage to Porto Cervo for the night. Porto Cervo is a stylish Italian destination with beautiful coastal views as well as fabulous boutiques and restaurants. Before dinner, we would highly recommend taking in the sunset at Phi Beach Club before dancing the night away at Billionaire Porto Cervo.

Enjoy the morning around the Lavezzi Islands, a collection of small granite islands and reefs in the Strait of Bonifacio that separates Corsica from Sardinia and have lunch on board at anchor.

When you cruise along the straights of Bonifacio, it is truly magnificent, with dramatic limestone cliffs on either side, you cruise for around an hour and a half before arriving at the pretty town consisting of brasseries, bars and cafes, the perfect place to enjoy an evening ashore. We recommend dinner at Le Caravelle, many of our clients love it here!

Day 4: Propriano
Leave Bonifacio after breakfast and head towards Propriano, a beautiful fishing harbour in the narrowest part of the Valinco Golf in Corsica. The majority of the buildings date from the early 19th century, prior to this the area was occupied by Romans and Greeks, but having been frequently attacked by pirates in the late 18th century, little remains of early Propriano. The town is mainly one long cobbled street with luxury shops, cafes and bars in the traditional old houses, it’s a lovely place to explore. Propriano has become quite a popular area in Corsica thanks to her numerous close by beaches including Plage du Lido, a stunning white sandy beach with views over the gulf of Propriano.
