Right by the harbor lies the vibrant heart of Porto Cervo, where the small piazza, luxury boutiques, artisan ateliers, elegant cafés and exclusive bars set the rhythm of a refined Mediterranean lifestyle. Picturesque alleys and pastel-colored balconies frame a landscape made for leisurely strolls under the Sardinian sun, while at night Porto Cervo transforms into a sophisticated hub of glamour and entertainment.
The old harbor is the result of Prince Karim Aga Khan IV’s visionary passion for beauty. In the late 1950s, the Prince acquired this stretch of untouched coastline and, together with a team of renowned architects, shaped an elegant social destination that quickly gained international prestige. Inspired by local forms and natural contours, Porto Cervo’s distinctive architectural style blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating a rare harmony between nature and design. The newer marina, larger and more modern, is considered among the finest in the Mediterranean and welcomes some of the world’s most luxurious and exclusive yachts.
COSTA SMERALDA ICONIC YACHTING EXPERIENCE IN NORTHERN SARDINIA
Just south of Porto Cervo, along the Costa Smeralda, lies Cala Volpe, a naturally sheltered bay that offers one of the most captivating anchoring spots in northern Sardinia. Framed by granite rocks, Mediterranean vegetation and crystalline waters, this secluded cove invites guests to spend a day at sea immersed in the vibrant colors, scents and tranquility of unspoiled nature. The sandy seabed and transparent turquoise waters create a breathtaking panorama, equally enchanting for first-time visitors and seasoned sailors.
Overlooking the bay stands the iconic Hotel Cala di Volpe, a masterpiece designed by Jacques Couëlle, whose distinctive organic architecture blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Nearby, the enchanting islands of Mortorio, Le Camere and Soffi rise from the sea, surrounded by pristine waters and untouched nature — ideal for swimming, snorkeling and exploring by tender.
North of Porto Cervo lies the tranquil Baia Romazzino, near Punta Capaccia, a discreet and refined anchorage where privacy and serenity define the experience. Yachts can rest in calm, sheltered waters, while those wishing to extend their stay ashore can enjoy the exclusive Hotel Romazzino, one of the most celebrated properties along the Costa Smeralda.
Sailing south from Porto Cervo, you reach the elegant crescent of Pevero Bay, divided into two stunning beaches of fine white sand framed by juniper trees: Piccolo Pevero and Grande Pevero. The pristine natural setting, shallow seabed and crystal-clear waters combine to create a truly mesmerizing panorama. From the sheltered inlets along this stretch of coast, guests at anchor are rewarded with spectacular views of islands and granite cliffs rising from the sea.
Grande Pevero is also renowned as a premier golfing destination, home to the prestigious Pevero Golf Club, while the surrounding area offers a vibrant nightlife scene with stylish beach clubs, lounges and late-night venues for those seeking entertainment after sunset.
LA MADDALENA ARCHIPELAGO – SARDINIA’S PREMIER YACHTING PARADISE
Located in North-East Sardinia, overlooking the Bocche di Bonifacio, the Archipelago of La Maddalena is one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating destinations for luxury yachting. Navigation requires expertise, so cruising with an experienced crew and a well-planned itinerary is essential, especially considering that the prevailing summer wind is the Maestrale from the west. The archipelago offers countless sheltered anchorages within short distances, each bay revealing a breathtaking natural landscape. Composed of more than sixty islands and islets, La Maddalena is the largest and the only permanently inhabited island, aside from a few residences in Santa Maria and the Stagnali village on Caprera. The charming historic center invites visitors for a leisurely stroll or refined dining, with Cala Gavetta serving as its picturesque and lively harbor.
Sailing through the archipelago, you reach the island of Caprera, where a dramatic coastline unfolds in a mosaic of vivid colors, hidden coves, and pristine bays. Rich Mediterranean vegetation, wind-sculpted granite formations, and crystalline waters shape one of the most stunning seascapes in the Mediterranean. The iconic Cala Coticcio, known as “Tahiti,” is a true natural gem, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. To the north, Cala Napoletana and Cala Garibaldi to the west provide excellent shelter from second-quadrant winds, while Porto Palma to the south offers protection from almost all wind directions, making it a favored anchorage among seasoned sailors.
Continuing northwest, you arrive at the island of Santa Maria, renowned for its beautiful anchorage where yachts can drop anchor in four to five meters of sandy seabed or use the moorings provided by the National Park Authority. Just opposite lies the island of Budelli, home to the spectacular Manto della Madonna, a deep-blue natural lagoon that offers shelter from easterly winds. From here, a short walk leads to Spiaggia Rosa, where navigation and anchoring are strictly prohibited. A wooden boardwalk allows visitors to admire this unique natural wonder, especially at sunset, when the red granite cliffs reflect their colors across the sea and sky.
To the west lies the island of Spargi, where Cala Corsara and Cala Connari offer idyllic spots for swimming and anchoring in crystal-clear waters. Along its rugged coastline, numerous small beaches and secluded inlets invite guests to stop, explore and enjoy the surrounding nature in complete privacy. Further north, facing the Bocche di Bonifacio, stands the island of Razzoli, the wildest and most rugged of the archipelago, yet among the most spectacular. Dominated by a historic lighthouse dating back to the early 1800s, Razzoli provides safe shelter from easterly winds in Cala Lunga, where National Park moorings are available. Here, transparent waters, wind-polished rocks, and abundant marine life create an unforgettable and immersive natural experience.
TAVOLARA–MARINE RESERVE AND CRYSTAL WATERS
Embracing one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline and picturesque Mediterranean marine protected area of Tavolara, covers approximately 15 thousand hectares of crystal clear water, in our itinerary we will sail between inlets and coves that extend from Capo Ceraso to Punta l'Isuledda. The Protected sea area of Tavolara - Capo Coda Cavallo, founded in 1997, includes within it special protection areas (islands of Tavolara, Molara, and Molarotto): the pond of San Teodoro, visited with an easy and picturesque trail, resting point of pink flamingos in migratory periods and the said residence of the 'king' of Tavolara.
The marine area is ideal for scuba diving: dive sites, tested routes, biodiverse environments populated by shoals of Mediterranean fish that offer an unforgettable show for divers. Authorized diving centers guarantee professionalism and security for both dives: with breathing apparatus or snorkelling. The island of Tavolara has cliff faces of 500 mt in limestone and granite. The island's ecosystem has been preserved intact over the centuries by a lack of human intervention.
The eastern sector, a military zone, is inaccessible. Otherwise in the low panhandle, called Spalmatore Earth, there are beaches, a marina, two local restaurants and some houses. Together with the neighboring islands Molara and Molarotto, there are approximately 150 wild goats. Its granite cliffs are full of caves and niches. On sandy strips grow sea lilies while the rocks are covered with juniper bushes, helichrysum, rosemary and mastic. It is said that in the last century Charles Albert, King of Piedmont and Sardinia, landed on the island in search of the mythical goats with gold teeth (phenomenon caused by a herb that reflects a golden awe), he was fascinated to the point of naming its only inhabitant, Paolo Bertoleoni, "King of Tavolara".
For several years the island has been the setting for an interesting summer film festival, the Tavolara Film Festival, involving artists of great fame and draws a passionate audience.
Continuing sailing northwards we reach a promontory of rare beauty, Capo Figari, it is the most extreme part of a ridge of hills that runs through the Golfo Aranci in its entirety. Jutting out into the Tyrrhenian Sea with imposing majesty and stands out in the enchanting blue sea with its rocks and its cliffs, it is a paradise of flora and fauna, enriched by the scents of juniper, which characterize it and make it natural jewel. In the vicinity of the Cape Figari is its observatory, famous for being the place where Guglielmo Marconi sent the first Radio connection between Capo Figari and Rocca di Papa.
SOUTH OF CORSICA WILD BEAUTY AND EXCLUSIVE YACHT CRUISING
We invite you to discover Southern Corsica, where wild mountains descend dramatically into a coastline shaped by turquoise bays, hidden coves and scattered islets. Cruising along this legendary stretch of the Mediterranean, your yacht will navigate through the Bocche di Bonifacio before continuing west toward the historic town of Bonifacio. Corsica offers an unspoiled natural landscape, pristine beaches and some of the most beautiful harbors in the region, yet it also requires expert navigation due to shifting winds and complex waterways. Sailing here is best enjoyed with experienced hands at the helm or a carefully planned route supported by nautical charts and pilot books.
Among the most breathtaking destinations in this area is Isola Piana, a small island linked to the mainland by a shallow sandbank that can be crossed on foot. The anchorage offers excellent shelter from the Levante wind on both its eastern and western sides, though skippers should remain cautious of low sandbanks. During summer, the bay becomes lively with yachts, boats and windsurfers, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Once ashore, guests can explore the ruins of a Roman villa or relax at a small beachside bar overlooking the crystal-clear water.
Southeast of Isola Piana lie two of the most celebrated locations within the Bonifacio Marine Park: Cavallo Island and the Lavezzi Islands — two destinations close in distance yet strikingly different in character. Cavallo is known for its exclusive villas and private atmosphere; access on foot is restricted beyond the main beach, preserving its privacy and natural beauty. Yachts can moor in Cala Zeri on the eastern side or Cala Alga on the western slope, where the sea reveals extraordinary shades of blue reminiscent of the Caribbean and rich marine life invites swimming and snorkeling. Alternatively, visitors may dock at the island’s small but well-equipped port. Lavezzi, in contrast, remains completely uninhabited — a sculpted landscape of granite rocks shaped over centuries by wind and sea. Its rugged beauty is both powerful and serene, above and below the waterline. From Cala di Greco, guests can disembark to explore the island on foot, discovering secluded beaches, dramatic rock formations and panoramic views that make this archipelago one of the most iconic natural sanctuaries in the Mediterranean.
Only a few nautical miles from Lavezzi lies Bonifacio, one of the most enchanting and visually spectacular ports in the Mediterranean. Arriving by sea is an unforgettable experience: a deep, fjord-like inlet cuts through towering white limestone cliffs, with the medieval upper town perched high above like a natural fortress overlooking the harbor. As your yacht glides through the narrow entrance, the contrast between the sheer cliffs, the crystal-clear depths below and the ancient citadel above creates a truly breathtaking panorama.
Once moored, Bonifacio reveals its timeless charm through winding cobblestone streets, historic stone buildings and panoramic viewpoints that overlook the Bocche di Bonifacio and the open sea. A walk through the old town leads past the grand gates of the medieval castle and along the scenic cliff-top promenade, where the horizon stretches endlessly across the strait toward Sardinia. From this vantage point, guests can admire the movement of sailing yachts, feel the sea breeze and fully appreciate why Bonifacio is considered one of the most iconic and evocative destinations in Southern Corsica.
WEST CORSICA – WILD LANDSCAPES, TURQUOISE ANCHORAGES AND TIMELESS MEDITERRANEAN BEAUTY
Western Corsica represents one of the most authentic and unspoiled cruising areas in the Mediterranean, where nature dominates the landscape and the coastline remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Sailing along this side of the island reveals a powerful succession of granite cliffs, hidden inlets and wide open bays, shaped over centuries by wind and sea. The mountains descend dramatically toward the water, creating a striking contrast between rugged landforms and the deep blues of the Tyrrhenian Sea. This part of Corsica is ideal for guests seeking a sense of exploration, silence and space, with long stretches of coastline where anchorages are surrounded only by wild vegetation and crystalline waters. Navigation here is rewarding and scenic, offering ever-changing views and the feeling of sailing through a truly preserved Mediterranean environment.
One of the most inviting gateways to Western Corsica is Île-Rousse, a lively yet elegant coastal town known for its sandy beaches, turquoise waters and welcoming marina. The harbour offers convenient access to the town centre, where guests can stroll along palm-lined promenades, enjoy local markets or dine in refined seaside restaurants. From Île-Rousse, the coastline becomes increasingly wild, opening onto secluded coves and quiet anchorages ideal for swimming, paddleboarding or simply relaxing on deck. The area combines ease of access with natural beauty, making it a perfect starting point for a yacht itinerary that balances comfort ashore with the freedom of open-sea cruising.
Continuing south, the route reaches the extraordinary Désert des Agriates, one of the most remote and protected coastal areas in Corsica. This vast natural region is renowned for its untouched landscapes and legendary beaches such as Saleccia and Lotu, accessible primarily by boat. Here, long stretches of fine white sand meet shallow, transparent waters, offering exceptional conditions for anchoring and swimming. The absence of urban development enhances the sense of isolation and exclusivity, allowing guests to enjoy nature in its purest form. Cruising through the Agriates is an experience defined by calm, space and simplicity, where the rhythm of the sea sets the pace and the scenery remains unchanged from one bay to the next.
Further along Western Corsica lie iconic destinations such as Calvi and Saint-Florent, both offering a refined blend of culture, history and modern yachting facilities. Calvi is instantly recognizable for its imposing citadel overlooking the bay, creating a dramatic backdrop for arrival by sea. The town offers excellent marina services, vibrant nightlife and a charming historic centre. Saint-Florent, nestled at the edge of the Agriates, combines a picturesque harbour with elegant cafés, boutiques and gourmet dining. These ports provide ideal stops to complement days spent at anchor, adding social life and cultural discovery to the itinerary. Western Corsica ultimately delivers a complete yachting experience, where wild nature and sophisticated coastal towns coexist in perfect balance.
PORTOFINO-CINQUE TERRE-ICONIC YACHT ITINERARIES ON THE LIGURIAN COAST
Nestled along the Ligurian coast, Portofino is one of the most iconic and picturesque destinations in the Mediterranean, a timeless blend of natural beauty, refined elegance and vibrant maritime tradition. Approaching by sea, yachts are greeted by the unmistakable crescent-shaped harbor framed by pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques and historic architecture that reflect on the crystal-clear waters below. The village exudes an atmosphere of understated sophistication, where charming piazzas, waterfront restaurants and shaded terraces invite guests to linger and enjoy the view. Surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and protected by the Portofino Natural Park, this legendary enclave offers a perfect balance between glamour, tranquility and authentic coastal charm, an ideal stop on any luxury yacht itinerary.
Just south of Portofino lies the enchanting Bay of Paraggi, a sheltered cove renowned for its emerald waters and pristine pebble beach. Accessible only by boat or a scenic coastal path, Paraggi provides an exclusive anchoring spot where guests can swim, snorkel or relax in complete privacy. The calm, transparent sea reveals vibrant marine life beneath the surface, making it a favorite destination for water activities and leisurely dips. Along the shoreline, elegant beach clubs and refined restaurants offer impeccable service and panoramic views, allowing yacht guests to enjoy a seamless transition from sea to shore while savoring the refined Ligurian lifestyle.
Further along the coast, the secluded Abbey of San Fruttuoso emerges as one of the most captivating stops in the region. Hidden within a narrow inlet and surrounded by steep wooded hills, this ancient Benedictine monastery can only be reached by sea or on foot, preserving its sense of mystery and exclusivity. The tranquil bay is ideal for anchoring, swimming and diving, particularly around the famous submerged statue of Christ of the Abyss, which rests beneath the surface and attracts divers from around the world. With its serene atmosphere, historic charm and unspoiled natural setting, San Fruttuoso offers a deeply evocative experience that contrasts beautifully with the sophistication of Portofino.
Sailing further south, the dramatic coastline of the Cinque Terre unfolds in a breathtaking succession of colorful cliffside villages overlooking the sea. Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore form a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for their rugged beauty, terraced vineyards and centuries-old maritime culture. From the water, yachts glide past sheer cliffs, hidden coves and charming harbors, each village offering its own distinct character and allure. Guests can drop anchor in sheltered bays, explore picturesque streets, sample local wines and savor authentic Ligurian cuisine before continuing along this unforgettable stretch of coastline, a perfect blend of natural splendor, tradition and refined coastal living.
AMALFI COAST – TIMELESS YACHTING BETWEEN CLIFFS, VILLAGES AND TURQUOISE BAYS
Cruising along the Amalfi Coast by yacht offers one of the most iconic seascapes in the Mediterranean, where steep limestone cliffs plunge dramatically into crystal-clear waters. From the deck of your yacht, you will admire pastel-colored villages perched on terraces overlooking the sea, historic watchtowers and lush Mediterranean vegetation that descends almost to the shoreline. Sailing west from Salerno towards Positano and Amalfi, you glide past hidden coves, small fishing harbors and secluded beaches that are often unreachable by land. With calm anchorages and expert local crews, this stretch of coast is ideal for relaxed day cruising or multi-day exploration, combining elegance, comfort and breathtaking scenery.
As you continue northwards, Positano appears like a vertical cascade of houses tumbling toward the sea, one of the most photogenic destinations in the world. Anchoring just offshore allows guests to enjoy swimming in turquoise waters before heading ashore to explore narrow alleyways, boutique shops and seaside restaurants. Further along the coast lies Praiano, quieter and more authentic, with crystal-clear bays perfect for snorkeling and sunset aperitifs on board. Just offshore, the Li Galli Islands rise from the sea, a small archipelago steeped in legend, where ancient myths speak of sirens luring sailors. These waters are ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and enjoying a peaceful afternoon surrounded by nature.
Sailing towards Amalfi, you approach the historic heart of the coast, once a powerful maritime republic. The town’s impressive cathedral dominates the waterfront, while the surrounding landscape offers dramatic cliffs, terraced lemon groves and pristine inlets. Nearby, Atrani retains its traditional charm, with its maze of alleys and intimate beach, perfect for a quick stop or lunch ashore. Further along the route, the Fjord of Furore reveals a spectacular narrow inlet carved into the rock, where a small bridge crosses high above the water. This natural wonder provides a stunning backdrop for photography and a memorable anchorage in calm conditions.
A short cruise from the Amalfi Coast brings you to the legendary island of Capri, a timeless destination synonymous with glamour and natural beauty. As you approach, the iconic Faraglioni rock formations emerge from the sea, offering a striking spectacle best admired from the water. Guests can drop anchor in Marina Piccola for swimming in crystalline waters or head around to Marina Grande to explore the island’s vibrant piazzas and luxury boutiques. For a truly unforgettable experience, your yacht can glide past the famous Blue Grotto, where sunlight creates an ethereal sapphire glow inside the cavern. Capri perfectly completes the Amalfi Coast itinerary, blending refined elegance, stunning landscapes and world-class Mediterranean cruising.
