Portoferraio – Porto Azzurro – then a long leg to Giglio Island (why not set out early in the morning and leave at dawn?). On Giglio Island it is worth visiting Castello. After a diversion to Giannutri for a swim (Cala Maestra, pay attention to the forbidden zones!), let’s pass the evening in Porto Santo Stefano or Porto Ercole. Then back to Portoferraio through Punta Ala.This route can be sailed with any wind and is safe as far as the Mistral is concerned..

Portoferraio – Marina di Campo – Campoloro – Porto Vecchio – Bonifacio and back to Portoferraio, also via Solenzara and Porto Azzurro.In a single week, this cruise can be rather demanding, because the single legs are long and, according to circumstances, night sailing can be required. Moreover, you will not see some beautiful aspects of Corsica. We thus recommend this course for those of you who need to make up nautical miles or who have at least two weeks of time.

Portoferraio - Porto Baratti, at north of Piombino. (walk to Populonia.) - Rosignano (Marina Cala de Medici) - Marina di Pisa (river Arno with the quai in front of the restaurant La Foce or Piccola Darsena - sight seeing tour by bus to Pisa -12 km) - Porto Venere (very very nice village - tour by boat to the Costa dei Poeti and the day after tour with a sightseeing boat to the Cinque Terre) Back to Portoferraio viaViareggio (Porto SPA or in the Canale burmalacca) - Capraia

All the proposed routes can, according to the individual requirements and the weather conditions, be combined at will so as to fit both a sporting crew or a relaxed family holiday. When planning your cruise, do not forget that outside the good season the Mistral can have its word to say. During Summer, on the contrary, you should plan rather shorter legs, because of the dominance of light breezes and the annoyance of an engine running for long hours.
