Step aboard in Calvi, the island’s cultural capital crowned by its 15th-century citadel. After a welcome toast, cruise toward the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its fiery cliffs and protected marine life. Accessible only by sea, Scandola is a sanctuary of ospreys, coral, and ancient volcanic formations. Glide by kayak through sea caves, swim in permitted zones, and savor a sustainable seafood dinner on deck as the cliffs turn copper under the Corsican sun.

The morning unfolds southward to Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon and the beating heart of Corsica’s western coast. Go ashore with your crew to wander colorful markets or sample artisanal cheeses and mountain honey. Back on board, dive into clear waters off the Gulf of Ajaccio before a sunset wine pairing of Vermentino and local rosé. Each course on deck celebrates the island’s slow-food philosophy — authentic, sustainable, and deeply personal.

Today’s cruise reveals the wild heart of southern Corsica. Anchor beneath the Lion of Roccapina, a naturally carved granite silhouette guarding a crescent beach of ivory sand. Paddleboard across crystalline shallows or follow a guided hike up to the Genoese tower for sweeping sea views.

Sail through the Strait of Bonifacio to Cavallo, the only inhabited isle in the Lavezzi archipelago. Known for its exclusivity and glass-clear waters, Cavallo is a sanctuary of barefoot luxury. Spend the morning swimming in jade lagoons or picnicking on a deserted cove. Onboard, a wellness therapist awaits for a sea-salt body ritual using local botanicals.

Your journey curves toward Santa Giulia, a bay often compared to the Caribbean for its shallow turquoise waters. Here, time slows. Snorkel over seagrass meadows, paddle through glowing lagoons, or join the chef for a cooking session featuring local sea bream and fig compote.

Cruise into the Lavezzi Islands, a maze of sculpted granite boulders within the Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve. These islands are a haven for seabirds and pristine marine life. Spend the day snorkeling in clear shallows or hiking the island’s nature trails. By evening, anchor near Bonifacio as the citadel’s lights shimmer across the strait — the perfect finale to a day shaped by nature’s artistry.

Cruise into Bonifacio’s dramatic limestone fjord, one of the Mediterranean’s most photographed harbors. Wander medieval streets, visit the cliffside King of Aragon Stairway, and savor one final brunch crafted from Corsican produce. Your crew shares a toast to the week behind you — seven days of wind, stone, sea, and stories that will stay with you long after the yacht slips quietly from view.
