The 7-Day Day-by-Day Yacht Itinerary
Embarkation in Port Hercule & Passage to the Riviera's Capital
Embark on your luxury superyacht in Monaco's prestigious Port Hercule. After a champagne welcome from your Captain and crew, cast off and cruise past the iconic cliffs of Eze and the red rocks of the Esterel coastline. Your destination is Saint-Tropez. Anchor in the turquoise waters of Pampelonne Beach for a late afternoon swim and tender ashore for dinner in the historic Vieux Port. Experience the vibrant nightlife of the town or dine quietly under the pine trees at the legendary Club 55.
Cruising the Esterel Coast & Anchoring Between the Islands
Awake to a fresh breakfast prepared by your private chef as the yacht makes a short morning cruise to the Lérins Islands, situated just off the coast of Cannes. Anchor in the narrow, shallow channel between Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat. The crystal-clear, calm waters are ideal for deploying your yacht's tender, paddleboards, and jet skis. Spend the afternoon exploring the ancient fort where the "Man in the Iron Mask" was held, or visit the fortified monastery on Saint-Honorat where local monks have produced fine wine for centuries. Spend the evening docked on the Croisette in Cannes.
Passage Across the Ligurian Sea to the Genoese Citadel
Depart Cannes at dawn for an open-sea crossing of the Ligurian Sea (approx. 95 nautical miles). Relax in the jacuzzi on the sun deck as your stabilizers maintain absolute comfort. By afternoon, the dramatic mountains of Corsica will rise from the horizon, culminating in the historic harbor of Calvi. Drop anchor under the shadow of the massive 13th-century Genoese citadel. Tender to the marina and stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets, discovering local Corsican charcuterie, fine wines, and historic ramparts that boast panoramic sea views.
Cruising the Scandola Nature Reserve & Navigating the Fjord
Cruise south along Corsica's rugged western coast. You will pass the Scandola Nature Reserve—a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dramatic red granite cliffs and volcanic caves rising from deep blue waters. After lunch on the deck, navigate into the spectacular limestone fjord of Bonifacio. Bonifacio's medieval town is perched precariously on 70-meter-high chalk cliffs. Navigating this narrow, deep harbor entrance is one of the most breathtaking maneuvers in yachting. Explore the clifftop fortress and enjoy dinner overlooking the marina.
Turquoise Sanctuaries & High-Society Yachting
Cross the Strait of Bonifacio to Sardinia. Stop first in the Maddalena Archipelago, a national park featuring some of the clearest, most turquoise waters in the Mediterranean. Anchor off Budelli Island to view the famous pink sand beach (Spiaggia Rosa) and swim in the natural pools of Porto della Madonna. In the late afternoon, cruise to Porto Cervo, the crown jewel of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda. Dock at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and explore the designer boutiques, fine restaurants, and exclusive clubs that cater to the global elite.
Tyrrhenian Sea Crossing & the Iconic Faraglioni Rocks
Depart Sardinia for a passage across the Tyrrhenian Sea to the island of Capri. Arriving in Capri, your captain will anchor near the legendary Faraglioni rocks, the limestone sea stacks that define the island's coastline. Take the tender to visit the Blue Grotto or swim in the emerald waters of the Green Grotto. As evening approaches, tender ashore to Marina Grande and take the funicular up to the famous Piazzetta. Enjoy an aperitivo before dining at a clifftop restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Naples.
Dramatic Amalfi Cliffs, Vertical Towns, and Disembarkation
Your final morning brings you to the spectacular Amalfi Coast. Cruise along the vertical cliffs, passing historic watchtowers and deep gorges. Drop anchor off Positano, the cliffside village of pastel-colored houses stacked above a black sand beach. Tender ashore to browse local linen shops and art galleries, or enjoy a final lunch on board surrounded by the dramatic vertical landscape. Cruise to the historic town of Amalfi for disembarkation, where your private chauffeur will be waiting to transport you to Naples Airport for your flight home.
