Sailing and relaxation between Corsica and the Cetacean Sanctuary

First day

Let's set sail: heading for Elba
The itinerary for a sailing vacation always depends on the direction and strength of the wind and sea, but generally speaking, here’s what we’ll be doing during this outdoor adventure between France and Tuscany. Meet at the port of embarkation by 9 a.m. If we want to take it easy, we can arrive the night before, booking the extra night on board in advance. We’ll have just enough time to stock the galley and set sail forIsland of Elba, where, depending on the wind direction, we’ll celebrate with our first swim near the Lido di Capoliveri or Procchio and Marciana Marina, and spend the night at anchor. In the coming days, with a little luck, we’ll go on whale sightings as we sail toward Corsica.

For June 2 , the vacation will last 5 days: the itinerary will include sailing around Elba and Capraia, so we won’t be going to Corsica.

Second day

Crossing to Corsica
We cast off to begin the crossing. We will sail along the coast, passing some of the most famous beaches on the Island of Elba until we leave Tuscany behind, with the wind guiding us across the Tyrrhenian Sea, giving us moments of pure freedom on this sailing vacation between Corsica and the Tuscan Archipelago. The voyage will be long, but upon arrival in France, we will be rewarded by the wild and unspoiled bays between Bastia and Capo Corso, such as Tamarone, Cala Genovese, and Barcaggio. Here we will spend an unforgettable night at anchor, surrounded by the silence of nature and the charm of the Corsican waters. A perfect experience for lovers of the sea and outdoor adventures.

Third day

Capo Corso, sailing and dream beaches
Starting from Bastia and continuing along the coast of Capo Corso, we let the wind guide us to the most beautiful beaches in Corsica. Among the unmissable stops is the splendid Saleccia Beach, a natural paradise with white sand and turquoise waters, ideal for a refreshing dip, and the picturesque village of San Floriano. Here, the colorful houses of the old town center create an evocative setting, perfect for a stroll and a relaxing break. This sailing trip is a journey through unspoiled nature and maritime traditions, allowing you to fully experience the essence of Corsica.

After exploring the northern coast of Corsica, we reverse course and continue our week sailing in Italy until we reach theIsland of Capraia, a wild gem of the Tuscan Archipelago. While sailing, those who are more active can assist the skipper in maneuvering, learning the secrets of sailing, while those who prefer to relax can devote themselves towhale watchingin the heart of the Cetacean Sanctuary.
