PIOMBINO – CAPRAIA – 6 HOURS OF NAVIGATION
Let's start our itinerary for a beautiful morning of sailing to a small island lost in the blue. The island of Capraia. Lunch and baths at anchor in one of the bay on the east coast of the island before moving in front of the port to go ashore and discover this little wonder of the Mediterranean, between restaurants overlooking the sea and restaurants specializing in fresh and raw fish.
CAPRAIA – BARCAGGIO – CENTURI – 5 HOURS OF NAVIGATION
We leave from the island of Capraia, we are already a few miles from the French waters of the island of Corsica. We can stop for a swim in the suggestive beach of Barcaggio, located on the end of the finger of Corsica and formed by a wild white beach, crystal clear water and the islet of Giraglia that stands out on the horizon.
In the afternoon we hoists the sails to double Capo Corso, cross the Giraglia and overlook the west coast of Corsica to reach the bay of Centuri. A small fishing village with a very charming atmosphere. It will feel like sitting in a postcard when we go down to the ground to enjoy a good Pastisse or a fresh French wine.
CENTURI – SALECCIA – SAINT FLORAIN – 4 SAILING HOURS
We start soon from our anchorage to head towards the most anticipated stage of the week, the Caribbean beach of Saleccia. Very clear turquoise water and a long beach of fine white sand. Behind the desert Des Agriates and the Mediterranean scrub. We are in one of the paradises of the Mediterranean.
In the evening we will move to the lively and characteristic village of Saint Florain for the night at the port. An evening awaits us between alleys, stalls and many clubs for an aperitif or a dinner out in the most sparkling tourist center of the North of Corsica.
SAINT FLORAIN – LOTU – MACINAGGIO – 5 SAILING HOURS
In the morning we set sail from the port of Saint Florain to anchor in front of the beach of Lotu. The younger sister of the Saleccia is equally surprising for the colors of the crystal clear water.
After lunch we will leave for a nice sailing until we double Capo Corso again and take us back to the eastern side of the island. Here we can anchor in front of the village of Macinaggio to be able to go down to the ground, or choose the most natural cove of Tamarone, to spend the night under the stars immersed in nature.
MACINAGGIO – FINOCCHIAROLA – CAPRAIA – 3 HOURS OF NAVIGATION
In the morning, the first stop bath in the natural park of the Finocchiaroles islands where you can admire the many fish that populate the area with a mask and snorkel.
In the afternoon we will go to the island of Capraia, where we can visit one of the incredible coves that this small island hides, and spend the night to go back the following day towards Piombino.
CAPRAIA – CALA MORESCA – PIOMBINO – 6 HOURS OF NAVIGATION
Morning navigation to return to Piombino. Still time for a last bath between Cala Moresca and the islet of Palmaiola, before returning to the port of Piombino.
