French Riviera to Corsica Charter Itinerary

French Riviera to Corsica Itinerary

French Riviera to Corsica Yacht Charter
A week that begins on the French Riviera, crosses to the Italian Riviera and the Tuscan island of Elba, and finishes on the wild coast of Corsica. This route has real range, glamorous Nice and handsome Portofino, the Cinque Terre and Napoleon’s Elba, the citadels of Corsica. Expect pastel harbours and vineyard cliffs, imperial history and glittering coasts, a varied cross-border voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Nice

Welcome to Nice, capital of the Cote d’Azur and the start of your voyage. Stroll the old town and Promenade des Anglais, then set sail east along the coast for a first swim.
Day 2

Portofino

Cross into Italy to Portofino, where even the trees are handsome, a perfectly coiffured village above a pretty harbour. Anchor in the bay, tender in for a drink, and walk up to the castle for the view.

Day 3

Cinque Terre

Cruise along the coast to the Cinque Terre, five fishing villages painting vibrant pastels across the cliffs, linked by ancient trails. Admire them from the water, then tender in to wander a village.
Day 4

Portovenere & Forte dei Marmi

Sail to Portovenere, an ancient and hidden secret of the Italian Riviera at the mouth of the Gulf of Poets. Anchor off the island of Palmaria, swim in the clear water, and explore the tall-housed harbour.
Day 5

Elba

Sail to Elba, Napoleon’s island of exile, dramatically greener and lovelier than in his day. Anchor off Porto Azzurro, swim in a granite cove, and explore the imperial villa ashore.
