7 Days and 10 Days Yacht Itineraries in Sardinia and Corsica

yacht itineraries including sardinia, italy, corsica and south of france

Whether you’re seeking accurate extravagance or pure relaxation, we’ve selected the perfect 7 and 10 days itinerary for your next superyacht charter in Sardinia and Corsica, which has it all.

Two islands, ideally in the center of the West Mediterranean, have to allure top-notch voyagers as their contiguous coastlines. On the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia, you will find stylish beach clubs that are equal to those of Saint Tropez, shorelines that are as remarkable as Amalfi, and offshore isles that are as empty as the Tuscan Archipelago.

Culture, too, reflects mainland influences: Corsica, having been sold to Paris by Genoa in 1769, shows a level of French influence, not only in language but also in cuisine, and Sardinia, Italy’s biggest island after Sicily, is popular with holidaying Italian celebs. But as much as mainland likenesses may be drawn, these islands are separate and radically different in their culture, cuisine, and landscape.

Potter past Corsica’s wild west shoreline and watch, from the deck of your yacht, the spectacular red cliffs that make the cruise as exciting as the destination. Historical cliff-top towns and fishing villages that pretty decorate the less remarkable portions of the shoreline, and make sure to see their local restaurants and try Corsica’s fabulous delicacies, such as suckling pig, wild boar, foie gras, endless cheeses, and fresh daily catches. Cross the straights of its deserted isles and Bonifacio and discover yourself in one of the most exclusive enclaves on the planet: the Costa Smeralda. This is yachting Mecca.

Sardinia has several of the most spectacular shores you’ll see in Europe. The sand has the bluest blue sea and that beautiful white color that you can typically see in the Caribbean. Play castaway on the Golfo di Orosei’s coves, where cliffs sail to La Maddalena’s cluster of granite islands or ensure seclusion. The isle is also culinary heaven, with great varieties of pasta, bread, and pastries, its wines (Vermentino whites, Cannonau reds), and cheeses.

A mountainous and wild place, Corsica’s shoreline is uncrowded and broken with ancient, fortified hamlets, white sand beaches, and rocky coves. Also, your crew will ensure you experience the best of it. Inquire any Frenchman about Corsica, and he’ll get a misty look in his eyes! Known for its lushness and the undeniable fact that it’s untouched by the programmers, this is a place for those seeking the Mediterranean as it used to be; part of the coastline is nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sailing Corsica, you’ll reach the port of Calvi to begin your cruise in the “Ile de Beauté,” an overnight passage. Instead, suppose you prefer to embark and disembark in Corsica itself. In that case, there are regular flights from Nice, a ferry service, and direct flights from London to Figari and Ajaccio.

A flight into Olbia, Sardinia, will take you to the center of the Costa Smeralda. Boarding at Porto Rotondo lets you take in the incredible beaches around the Archipelago Della Maddalena and Porto Cervo – known as the Polynesia of Italy for its crystal clear, turquoise waters. Nevertheless, it has to be said that Sardinia is pricey, and many guests favor the quieter and more beautiful Corsican shore, so we usually recommend it before making the short crossing to Corsica, taking in a number of the Archipelago. This brings you to the stunning islets of Cavallo and Lavezzi en route to Bonifacio with its brilliant citadel and takes just over an hour.
