The Yacht is based in Genoa (Italy) but your trip can start in Bonifacio (Corsica) or from Olbia (Sardinia).
There is an airport in Genoa, 5 minutes from the Marina. If you fly into Olbia (Sardinia) we can arrange pickup either from a Marina close to the airport, or alternatively can arrange a pickup from a pre-arranged point on the shore. If you fly into Bonifacio (Corsica) we will have to book into the Marina to facilitate collection. Its best to liaise with us prior to finalising plans to ensure the easiest transfer.
The yacht comfortably sleeps 8 in 4 x double cabins, however one of the cabins is taken up by the skipper which reduces it to 6 people in 3 x double cabins. There is additional space in the saloon area where a table converts into a further double bed, where another couple or kids may sleep.
