Sailing trip from Sardinia via Corsica to the Côte d’Azur

Discover two of the most beautiful and exclusive coasts of the Mediterranean Sea – we start in the north of Sardinia along the Costa Smeralda via the natural park of the La Maddalena archipelago, where the sea shines in the most beautiful shades of blue, then continue along the beautiful Corsican coast to the north. From there, we sail to Antibes on the Côte d’Azur with a longer sailing stage of around 14 hours.

Itinerary

Every sailing trip follows the conditions of nature. The itinerary shown is a non-binding orientation and can change depending on wind and weather.

Individual arrival in north-eastern Sardinia. Amid turquoise bays, striking granite rocks and Mediterranean vegetation, your voyage aboard CHRONOS begins.

In the evening, the crew welcomes you with a welcome drink. Over the first dinner together on deck, you get to know your fellow travellers and the crew and look forward to a varied week between Italy, Corsica and the French Riviera.

After breakfast, we cast off. CHRONOS sets course for the famous La Maddalena Archipelago – a natural paradise of small islands, sheltered bays and crystal-clear water.

Along the way, there is time for a swimming stop before the voyage continues to Corsica. In the evening, you reach Bonifacio, spectacularly perched on white limestone cliffs. The approach into its fjord-like natural harbour is one of the most impressive in the Mediterranean. High above the harbour, the narrow lanes of the old town, small boutiques and cosy cafés invite you on a first shore visit.

Today CHRONOS follows Corsica’s wild west coast northwards. Rugged mountain scenery, jagged rock formations and secluded bays make this one of the most captivating stretches of the voyage.

In the afternoon, you reach Calvi, one of Corsica’s most beautiful harbour towns. Its mighty citadel watches over the wide, sweeping bay and offers glorious views of the sea and mountains. Stroll through the historic old town or enjoy the evening in one of the many restaurants right on the harbour – the perfect place for dinner ashore and a taste of the Corsican way of life.

After a relaxed breakfast on board, CHRONOS leaves Corsica and sets course for the French Riviera.

Today’s leg is one of the sailing highlights of the voyage. Far from the coast, you experience the special vastness of the Mediterranean and enjoy life aboard a classic sailing yacht. With a little luck, the prevailing winds will provide long hours of sailing and impressive speeds. As CHRONOS holds her course for southern France, relaxation, the pleasure of sailing and the intense experience of a longer passage take centre stage.

Just off Cannes lie the Îles de Lérins – a green island world set in the azure Mediterranean. The small islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat form a surprisingly peaceful contrast to the glamorous Riviera.

On a walk through fragrant pine forests, past historic fortifications and hidden coves, you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of this protected island world. CHRONOS then sails on to Cannes. The famous Croisette, elegant boutiques and the unique flair of the Côte d’Azur invite you to a leisurely evening stroll.

Today the route follows one of Europe’s most beautiful coastlines to Antibes. Along the way, you pass the famous Cap d’Antibes with its magnificent villas, hidden swimming coves and spectacular stretches of coast.

Antibes combines Mediterranean ease with the French art of living. The historic old town, with its small squares, markets and cafés, is a delight to explore. If you wish, spend the evening in one of the many restaurants by the harbour or in the winding lanes of the old town.

To round off your voyage, CHRONOS sails along the Côte d’Azur towards Saint-Tropez. Off the famous Pampelonne Beach, there is often time for a last swim in the turquoise water or a few relaxed hours at anchor.

You then explore Saint-Tropez – a place that embodies the Riviera lifestyle like almost no other. Amid luxury yachts, street cafés, Provençal lanes and elegant boutiques, the Côte d’Azur shows itself at its most glamorous.

In the evening, CHRONOS reaches Sainte-Maxime. At the traditional Captain’s Dinner, you look back on the experiences of the past week – from the islands of Sardinia and the wild beauty of Corsica to the French Riviera.

After a last breakfast on deck, you disembark in Sainte-Maxime. Individual departure, or an optional extended stay on the Côte d’Azur.

The price does not include: arrival and departure, transfers, soft drinks, Nespresso and alcoholic beverages, water sports from on board, shore excursions and gratuities.

In summer it is (almost) always nice and warm – although it usually remains pleasant on board above the water – in spring and autumn it is cooler, you sometimes need a sweater, and the weather is more changeable than in summer. The winds of the Mediterranean are as diverse as the countries and can be very different depending on the region.

Life on board the Sailing-Classics yachts is very safe and well organised. The vessels meet the highest safety standards and are inspected annually. The captain and helmsman are graduates of a professional maritime college and undergo continuous professional development. The rest of the crew also receive intensive training in how to deal with emergencies. A compulsory safety briefing takes place at the start of every voyage. Furthermore, despite their speed, the yachts sail with remarkable stability – even in heavy weather, hardly any water comes on deck.

Both German and English are spoken on board the Sailing-Classics yachts. The language used amongst the international crew is English, whilst they communicate with guests in both German and English. On the KAIRÓS, we cannot always guarantee communication in German.

Meals on board Sailing-Classics are organised on a full-board basis and are included in the tour price. The day begins with a generous breakfast buffet, followed by a light two-course lunch and coffee and cake in the afternoon. In the evening, the on-board chef prepares a three-course dinner. On the final evening, the festive Captain’s Dinner is the culinary highlight. Once a week, a dinner is held ashore to sample the regional cuisine – this is not included in the tour price. Special dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for if notified in advance.

Sailing-Classics organises shore excursions using the crew’s motorised dinghies. On request, the crew will take you ashore and collect you again free of charge – simply let the team know in good time. In addition, in many sailing areas, the crew organises guided shore excursions with a local guide or accompanied by a crew member. The price per participant is communicated in advance and charged to your on-board account. Of course, you are also welcome to explore the surrounding area on your own.

The cabins on board the Sailing-Classics yachts are comfortable and practically furnished. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with a toilet and shower cubicle, individually controlled air conditioning, a wardrobe, a hairdryer, and hand and bath towels. 230-volt sockets are available for charging electronic devices. A reusable water bottle is provided in every cabin and can be refilled at the water dispenser in the saloon.

At Sailing-Classics, you’re warmly invited to get actively involved in sailing – no prior experience or sailing licence required. You can help set and trim the sails, take the helm yourself, or lend a hand with other tasks on deck. The crew will be happy to explain the basics of sailing to you, show you how radar navigation works on the bridge, or give you a tour of the engine room. Those who prefer to relax can simply enjoy the passing scenery – the motto is: ‘Everything is possible, nothing is compulsory.’

To cancel your sailing holiday with Sailing-Classics, please send your cancellation request by email to info@sailing-classics.com. Written notification is required so that the cancellation can be processed officially. Depending on when the cancellation is made, Sailing-Classics’ tiered cancellation terms and conditions will apply. We strongly recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance to protect yourself financially.
