Make the best of your Corsica yacht trip with our Calvi to Porto Rotondo yacht charter itinerary.
Day 1

Embark in Calvi – Citadels & Sunset Cruising

Step aboard in Calvi, a charming Corsican town set between snow-capped peaks and golden sands. Explore the majestic Calvi Citadel, perched above the town like a time capsule, offering panoramic views over the Gulf. After a welcome lunch on board, cruise south into the Golfe de Girolata, a remote inlet that lies within the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its volcanic cliffs and sea caves. Drop anchor near the village of Girolata, where there are no roads, only boats and hiking paths. Spend your evening immersed in silence, starlight, and the serenity of the Corsican wild—perhaps with dinner on deck prepared by your private chef using local seafood and wine.
Day 2

Ajaccio – History, Diving & Island Chic

Sail south to the Gulf of Sagone, where you can anchor for a tranquil swim and al fresco lunch before arriving in Ajaccio, the vibrant capital of Corsica. Known as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, the city blends elegant architecture with lively café culture. Wander its cobblestone streets, browse artisan boutiques, and visit Maison Bonaparte, Napoleon’s childhood home. For diving enthusiasts, the nearby waters offer exceptional underwater exploration with dramatic rock formations and marine life. Return to your yacht for a sunset aperitif and a gourmet dinner either on board or at a harborside bistro.
Day 3

Bonifacio – Citadel Cliffs & Corsican Charm

Begin the day with a scenic cruise to the southern tip of Corsica, where Bonifacio awaits—a medieval town clinging to limestone cliffs that plunge dramatically into the sea. En route, keep an eye out for dolphins, and enjoy a morning of water sports in the sparkling bays. Enter the natural fjord-like harbor to find a town of stone chapels, Roman cisterns, and winding alleyways. Visit the Bonifacio Citadel and enjoy sweeping views over to Sardinia. Dine ashore at a local osteria, or have your chef prepare freshly caught fish bartered from the village fishermen. Bonifacio’s magic lies in its mystery—and its silence after dark.

Day 4

La Maddalena Archipelago – Sardinian Serenity Begins

Cross the Bocche di Bonifacio to Sardinia and anchor in the La Maddalena Archipelago, a protected national park of emerald waters, pink sand beaches, and uninhabited islets. Snorkel and dive among reefs, or take the tender into hidden coves for a private picnic ashore. Spend the afternoon soaking up the sun with cocktails on the sundeck or venture onto the main island of La Maddalena to mingle with locals and discover artisan shops. As the sun dips below the horizon, your yacht becomes the ultimate sunset lounge. Tonight, it’s just you, the sea, and a sky full of stars.
Day 5

Porto Cervo – Glamour on the Costa Smeralda

After breakfast on deck, sail to the glittering marina of Porto Cervo, the undisputed heart of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda. This stylish resort town is synonymous with superyachts, haute couture, and high society. Shop at designer boutiques, stroll the yacht-lined marina, or play a round of golf at the exclusive Pevero Golf Club. Indulge in a spa treatment at Petra Segreta, or simply relax at one of the beach clubs. For dinner, choose from Quattro Passi Al Pescatore for exquisite seafood or Blu Restaurant for a more intimate gourmet experience. Night owls will find their haven at the world-famous Billionaire Club, where evenings last until sunrise.
Day 6

Cala di Volpe – Tranquility & Vineyards

Wind down in the serene beauty of Cala di Volpe, a pristine bay flanked by soft sand and fragrant pines. Tender ashore to the luxurious Hotel Cala di Volpe for their legendary poolside BBQ lunch or sip a Bellini at the lounge as yachts glide by. In the afternoon, explore nearby San Pantaleo, a hillside village known for its art markets and old-world charm. Wine lovers can visit the Vigne Surrau winery for a tour and tasting of Sardinia’s best Vermentino and Cannonau wines. End your day with dinner onboard or at Cala Beach Club, under the soft glow of lanterns and the scent of sea air.

Day 7

Disembark in Porto Rotondo

Conclude your charter in Porto Rotondo, a sophisticated harbor village with winding streets, artisan boutiques, and a relaxed elegance. Spend your final morning sunbathing on Spiaggia Ira, a crescent-shaped beach named after actress Ira von Fürstenberg. Visit the Church of San Lorenzo, a striking modernist chapel known for its sculptural interiors. Savor your last lunch aboard as your chef serves a farewell feast of Sardinian specialties. Whether you choose to stay ashore for one more evening or catch a flight from nearby Olbia, your journey through Corsica and Sardinia ends in the same spirit it began—with sea breeze, sun-kissed skin, and unforgettable memories of Mediterranean magic.
