Yacht charter in the Western Mediterranean

The Western Mediterranean is home to popular sailing regions that are very diverse in character, culture and landscape: From Spain's mainland coast in the west, to the Balearic Islands, to France's Côte d'Azur, to Italy's west coast. From the challenging Gulf du Lion in the north to the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, to Sicily and Malta in the south. There are areas for less experienced sailors as well as experienced crews.

France's south coast and around Corsica

In the southeast of France on the Côte d'Azur, the marinas are close together, so you only have to travel short distances here. Many of them are located in or near well-known cities like St. Tropez, Golfe-Juan near Cannes and Nice or Saint-Raphael near Fréjus. So if you want to combine your cruise with city trips, like to go shopping, spend your time in cafes or also want to enjoy the nightlife, this is the right place for you. In between there are always beaches where you can stop for a swim or try out other water sports.
Towards the west, there are also always scenic natural sections between the popular tourist areas. At the Rhone Delta in the Camargue National Park, you can see hundreds of waterfowl and the Camargue horses that live here. The Parc Nationale des Calanques is also not far away. Between the two lies Marseille as a starting point for experienced crews. The Îles d'Hyères, for example from Bormes-les-Mimosas or Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, are also a nice place to sail away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Those who like it less hustle and bustle and also plan outdoor activities or more sporty challenges in sailing will find this around the island of Corsica. Whether rocky coast or long sandy beaches, hiking through maquis forest or island hopping in the Lavezzi archipelago or to Sardinia, scenically and sailing the island has much to offer.
From the east of France, the Italian coast can also be included in a cruise, such as the Italian Riviera or from Corsica, the Tuscan Archipelago and the Amalfi Coast.

Italy's beautiful west coast, island cruises around Sardinia and Sicily

In the north of Italy, even sailors with less experience can explore the coast of the Ligurian Sea during the peak season. The Italian Riviera is divided into the Riviera of Flowers and the Riviera of Palms and between the flowery coastline there are always historic cities like Genoa. To the east, it becomes rockier and the Cinque Terre offers beautiful panoramas of colorful villages on the cliffs from the sea. Also on the Amalfi Coast further south are charming villages on steep cliffs or terraced slopes. Popular with sailors is of course Sardinia, with the Maddalena archipelago with many sandy beaches and small bays, as well as the beautiful Costa Smeralda in the northeast. But Italy also has small island archipelagos near the mainland to offer such as the Tuscan archipelago with Elba or the Campania with Capri near Naples. On the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily, you can literally see the four elements meeting. From Sicily's north, the Lipari Islands, including Stromboli, are within easy reach. From the south of the island you can also sail blue water towards Malta.
