Suggested yacht charter itinerary from Ajaccio to Olbia

7 nights / 8 days

Day 1: Board you charter yacht in Ajaccio. Ajaccio is the renowned birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Set on a sunny bay surrounded by citrus groves, olive trees, and vineyards, Ajaccio is bursting with history and cultural diversity. At the heart of the city, Place Foch is a beautiful oblong square shaded by palm trees and surrounded by small restaurants. Travellers savour a bit of respite here in view of the cooling fountain.

Day2: Continue sailing the yacht down the west coast of Corsica and anchor at the Gulf of Valinco. The Gulf of Valinco is perhaps one the most beautiful gulfs on the west coast of the island. To the north of the bay is Cappiciolo - with picturesque coves of golden sand fringed by rocks, and Porto Pollo, a sheltered little port. Corsica's origins can be traced to this small region with its large number of pre-historic sites and castle remains that date back to the time of the lords. Ajaccio to Cappiciolo: 21NM

Day3: Continue yachting onto Bonifaccio, which sits like a masterpiece in the extreme south and is a unique place of interest. No one can resist the fascination of this old town which is dazzlingly sits perched atop a cliff, nor the appeal of its old alleys which climb up toward the sky. Bonifaccio is a town of immense charm and a wonderful place to sample some or the local bars and restaurants. Cappiciolo to Bonifaccio: 25NM

Day 5: Spend another morning in the tranquil setting before continuing onto Porto Cervo for the evening. Porto Cervo was originally built by the Agha Khan, as a playground for Europe’s glitterati; it’s a shopping paradise, with all the big names a stones throw away from each other. Every evening the people throng the pretty streets and restaurants to see and be seen! Head out for a night at the Billionaires Club. Cruising: 25NM
