Day 1: Yacht charter in Saint-Tropez!
We start this crazy private cruise by renting a yacht in Saint-Tropez. As soon as you step aboard, Ati Yachts and its team enthusiastically welcome you to a world where every detail is of special importance.
Make a detour there before casting off: head for the beaches of Pampelonne, where you can disembark directly on one of Ramatuelle’s legendary beaches thanks to your dinghy. How about lunch in the bohemian-chic atmosphere of Byblos Beach or the festive ambience of Nikki Beach ?
Before leaving Saint-Tropez, take a stroll through the narrow streets of the fishing village and bite into a succulent slice of the famous tarte tropézienne while strolling among the pétanque players. And why not treat yourself at the
Cucina d’Alain Ducasse
before dancing the night away at Caves du Roy, Saint-Tropez’s hippest club? Let’s get loose and head back to the yacht for a well-deserved night’s sleep. While you’re recovering from your first night out, head for the Isle of Beauty and its unspoilt landscapes.
Day 2: Head for Saint-Florent, Corsica’s Saint-Tropez
What better way to enjoy your first breakfast than with a view of the Corsican coastline! You’ll quickly fall under the spell of Saint-Florent, also known as the Corsican Saint-Tropez. With your feet firmly on the ground, set off on a sensory journey along the wine route. Between a hearty lunch and a tasting of Corsican charcuterie and cheeses, you’ll love exploring the vineyards of Patrimonio.
Once back in Saint-Florent, head for the beaches of Lotu and Saleccia. Whether you prefer water sports or lazing on the white sands, you’ll have a memorable afternoon before returning to the comfort of your yacht.
Then discover Saint-Florent, a charming Roman town with a lively port and picturesque streets reminiscent of the famous Saint-Tropez. Looking for a bit of history? Climb up to the 15th-century fortress to admire a breathtaking panorama. Round off your day with a cocktail on the terrace of a café overlooking your yacht.
To top it all off, ask the yacht’s chef to prepare Corsican specialities for dinner. Enjoy these local delicacies against the twinkling lights of Saint-Florent, for a touch of authenticity that makes this moment simply exquisite.
Day 3: Head for the wild beauty of Ile Rousse
Arriving at Ile Rousse, you might think that the coastline is steep, even hostile, so well preserved is nature here. . So, after a gourmet ti’ breakfast on our yacht, we set sail for adventure in the Corsican maquis and along the coastal path of the Agriates desert. In fact, if your yacht includes bicycles, don’t hesitate to take them to explore these trails, either guided or in the open air.
Then, to the east of Ile Rousse, a horse farm awaits you, with free-roaming horses for a horse-riding experience. You’ll be criss-crossing desert landscapes, riding through Corsican scrub until the sun sets. And the icing on the cake is a lunch break in the shade of the trees.
Back on our beloved yacht, it’s time to relax! Relax with a well-deserved massage or a soak in the Jacuzzi, as you sail quietly towards Calvi and its Genoese citadel. Let’s savor the moment and enjoy the evening on board, with the added bonus of a sublime panorama of this new stopover in the Balagne region. Isn’t that the good life?
Day 4: On the road to adventure in beautiful, fortified Calvi
You’ll discover a fascinating cultural and historical heritage, as well as mouth-watering Corsican products. This sublime Balagne town is even said to be the birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus, although it resonates more with the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Don’t miss the opportunity to continue your discovery by strolling up to the mysterious 13th-century citadel. Perched on a rocky promontory, it offers a breathtaking 360° panorama, from the Corsican mountains to the Mediterranean.
Enjoy a sunny lunch before setting sail for the charming Revellata peninsula, a veritable marine nugget. Don’t hesitate to take advantage of the anchorage to get out your diving or snorkelling equipment and dive among the gorgonians, groupers and beautiful red corals that inhabit these immaculate waters.
Day 5: The Isle of Beauty boasts the splendid Scandola Nature Reserve, a veritable treasure trove of nature.
Just imagine, sailing towards the horizon, you’re dazzled by the breathtaking Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1975. Here, mythical coves and caldera-like cliffs bear witness to an ancient volcano engulfed by the waves, revealing their incomparable sumptuousness. And in this sanctuary accessible exclusively by sea, a unique biodiversity.
As you sail along on your paddle or ride your jet-ski, you may well come across majestic dolphins, flourishing in this haven untouched by human activity. A lunch on the water offers a privileged panorama of this astonishing ballet of two-tone rocks and sparkling waters, shades of azure and turquoise, of almost supernatural beauty.
But don’t let the experience stop there! Head for the Gulf of Girolata, a small village set in the reserve, accessible only by float, or for the more adventurous, after a two-hour walk! This village of just 15 souls nestles in the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful bays. Climb aboard a dinghy or settle into a kayak, and enjoy a unique and genuine moment by stopping off at this Corsican oasis, far from the universal hustle and bustle.
Day 6: Cannes, a glamorous return to the world of glamour
As you bid farewell toauthentic Corsica, your sumptuous yacht cruise continues to sail towards the mainland. Quietly, enjoy a delicious breakfast between the Lérins Islands, which will help you adjust smoothly before setting foot in Cannes. Here, take time out for a shopping spree on the emblematic Croisette and treat yourself to a delicious lunch in one of the many beach restaurants, facing the sublime islands.
Isn’t the Bay of Cannes the ideal place to test your favorite water toys? Looking for a thrill? Try your hand at flyboarding! More of a contemplative mood? Relax on a deckchair with your feet in the sand. The choice is yours alone.
And if, by chance, your yacht happens to be anchored in the Bay of Cannes on a fireworks night, be sure to enjoy the best view during a final gourmet dinner prepared by your dedicated crew.
Day 7: Return to Saint-Tropez in style
Your last day on a yacht is approaching, so before setting sail for the port of Saint-Tropez, take time to explore the wonders of the surrounding area. You could start by skirting the grandiose Estérel massif, with its dazzling shades of ochre and red. And why not don your mask and snorkel for a dip in Agay’s crystal-clear waters? Once this aquatic interlude is over, head for the iconic Côte d’Azur!
How about the Gulf of Saint-Tropez? A final rendezvous with the splendours of the tropéziennes, and all in style: a coffee at Sénéquier, for a final toast to the pleasures of travel, and why not a trip to the Provencal market to pick up some great handcrafted souvenirs? Oh, and don’t forget that little guilty pleasure: a final shopping spree in the city’s boutiques.
The results? A week of yacht charter rich in emotions and relaxation, where attentive crews and refined experiences will punctuate your days. A tailor-made stay that we hope will have far exceeded your expectations.
