Corsica & Sardinia Tranquillamente

Embark in Bonifacio. This clifftop town, suspended above the sea, is best seen from the deck of your yacht. Want to dive in? We’ll relocate to Balistra Plage. This deserted beach sits within a Nature Reserve. It’s only accessible by dirt track or private boat.

Today is a tranquil treat. Your yacht will position off Cavallo. This private island lives life in the slow lane. Swim to its wild beach, the most southerly point in France. After lunch grab a snorkel and command your RIB to Cala Achiarina. This dive site tempts with gilthead bream and Jacuzzi-warm seas.

This morning relax with a round of golf on France’s sunniest and sandiest course. Spérone Golf Club is suspended above the shimmering Mediterranean on Corsica’s southern tip. Made par? Kayak back to your waiting yacht. The games continue with inflatable slides, hoverboards and aquatic climbing frames.

Expect a lazy day in paradise. La Maddalena is an archipelago of 60 islands. They could easily double for Polynesia. Your crew will bring the best out of nirvana. Think treasure hunts, sand-in-the-toes picnics and inter-island swims.

Don’t tweet about Liscia Di Vacca. The fewer people that know about this break-the-Internet-beautiful beach, the better. Breeze in on windsurfs at lunch. Or ride a SUP at sunset when Shangri-La is people-free. Awestruck? Allow your crew to escort you ‘home’ for a restorative Aperol Spritz.

Shout ciao to Italy’s hippest harbour. Turn heads with a vintage Vespa safari. Ride your classic Italian motorbike through hill towns, olive orchards and vineyards. With stops for wine tasting, Prosciutto purchases and Dolce-Vita-grade gelatos. Last one back to Porto Cervo buys the Peronis.

Another day. Another secret island. Today it’s Soffi. A boat-only escape where the sole sounds are lapping waves and tickling breeze. This uninhabited island has one serious attraction. A series of piscine, or natural swimming pools, which ring Soffi like Bora Bora lagoons. SUP in with a good book. It’s like your own private spa.

Wake up to brioche, caffé and sand, sand, sand. Cala di Volpe boasts Sardinia's most pristine beaches. Like Spiaggia di Capriccioli, where your crew will arrange hammocks and volleyball nets. Too much sun? Head back on deck for cocktails under your yacht’s canopy. It’s lounging, first class.

Oh. My. Goodness. Cala Liscia Ruja is a deserted beach that would make a Brazilian weep with envy. This morning try a seashore jog. Then a lunchtime snorkel with baby bream. Followed by a lazy afternoon of frisbee. Your crew can tender in sashimi and champagne. Because the nearest asphalt road is a mile away.

Today you’ll explore inland. In style. Your Y.CO Charter Specialist can arrange a tuk-tuk tour. Zip to ancient ruins and lonely lighthouses through a sandy Sardinia hinterland. Any iPhone footage can be premiered tonight on your outdoor video screen.

Today you’ll meet the royal family. Because Tavolara Island has its own king, who operates a seafood shack on the coast. The best view? Climb 565m to the island’s peak - that’s higher than One World Trade Center - to view a breathtaking swirl of beach below. That’s a memory to last a lifetime.

Olbia offers a smooth, understated conclusion to the journey, combining calm waters, modern marina facilities, and easy access ashore without fuss. Set on a wide bay with a relaxed Sardinian feel, it’s a practical yet pleasant point of departure, allowing the experience to end as seamlessly as it began.
