This experience, in a nutshell

Welcome to the Desert des Agriates, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the upper Tyrrhenian Sea. It is a natural park that develops between Saint Florent and Ile Rousse, its beaches are of wonderful white sand and difficult to reach by land.


For miles you can't see any human intervention, behind the beaches there are still intact dunes covered with Mediterranean scrub and then only nature as far as the eye can see. Even today it is possible to see groups of cows resting near the sea and foxes also come out at sunset. A place you'll remember forever.



We set sail from Rosignano on Sunday morning towards Capraia, another paradise on earth, we stop at anchor for lunch and then in the afternoon we continue to reach Corsica by evening. Sunday is dedicated to Cap Corse and in the afternoon we resume sailing to arrive in the Gulf of Saint Florent.


In the following days we will visit all the beaches of the Desert des Agriates, one evening we will go down to Saint Florent and if we can we try to reach Ile Rousse as well .


On Thursday morning we return to Cap Corse and then in the evening we will be in port in Capraia and enjoy the evening on this wonderful island.


On Friday evening we will be back at base.



I forgot, we like to feel good on the boat and so we will always prepare great food and drink good wine, we will not miss anything

Leg 1

Sunday - Capraia+Santa Maria

We set sail very early in the morning to reach Capraia before lunch, which is one of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago north of the island of Elba and closer to Corsica than to Tuscany. Over the last few years, it has become a sailor's paradise. A true paradise on earth with unspoiled nature and sea. From Rosignano it is about 30 miles of navigation to the west. After a short stop in Capraia we will reach Cap Corse and anchor at the bay of Santa Maria, where we will spend the night.

Sunday - Capraia+Santa Maria

Leg 2

Monday - Cap Corse

In the morning we will wake up in a sea of a crazy color and in absolute peace. The bay of Santa Maria is known for its Genoese watchtower which was bombed in the 1700s by the British and has been left that way ever since. After breakfast, we'll set sail for Desert des Agriates. During the sailing, we will round the island of Giraglia (famous for being the reference point of some prestigious regattas) and skirt the western side of Cap Corse, stopping for lunch (and swimming of course) in one of the coves along the coast. In the late afternoon we will arrive at our destination and spend the night at anchor in a protected roadstead.

Monday - Cap Corse

Leg 3

Tuesday & Wednesday - Agriates

We have reached our destination, during the day we will visit the various beaches of the Agriates Desert and in the evening we will still give in front of the villages of Saint Florent or Ile Rousse, with the possibility of going ashore with the tender.



Tuesday & Wednesday - Agriates

Leg 4

Thursday and Friday - Capraia

On the way back, on Thursday evening we stop one evening in the port of Capraia, we will enjoy the evening around the clubs of the island and if you want we can also go out for dinner. On Friday we will spend it in one of the bays of Capraia and in the afternoon we will return to the starting point

Thursday and Friday - Capraia

Capraia and Northern Corsica - A paradise of our seas

Che vacanza!! Strepitosa! Tale da portare malinconia per settimane se non per mesi dopo! Claudio e Barbara, coppia molto affiatata, ci hanno accompagnato, veleggiando in totale sicurezza e professionalità, viziandoci con succolenti pasti, con tanto di "scarpetta" finale! Abbiamo visto posti che solo gli occhi possono raccontare, stupendi albe, tramonti e che stellate! Mare stupendo, un incontro inaspettato, con un Capodoglio, ha reso questa vacanza un ricordo indelebile a vita. Compagni di viaggio simpaticissimi, che risate! Blue Star, un nome, una certezza, vacanza consigliata a tutti. Spero di ripeterla presto! Grazie di cuore a tutti per questa indelebile vacanza! Buon vento!

Un'esperienza indimenticabile !! Claudio è un ottimo skipper che ci ha fatto veleggiare in sicurezza tutte le volte che c'era vento. Barbara ci ha coccolato con le sue prelibatezze culinarie. Abbiamo visitato posti splendidi e fatto incontri (capodoglio) che rimarranno impressi per sempre nelle nostre menti. Anche Raffaele e Iriviana sono stati dei super compagni di viaggio. Speriamo di poter ripetere un'altra esperienza a vele spiegata il prossimo anno sulla Blue Star. Vacanza vivamente consigliata.

Bellissima vacanza in relax e confort. Claudio e Barbara ci hanno accolto e coccolati in un clima familiare e pieno di attenzioni oltre ad averci fatto godere di pranzi e cenette ricercate e squisite. Abbiamo goduto insieme agli altri speciali e simpatici ospiti di incontri al largo inaspettati e delle bellezze dei luoghi sempre in sicurezza. Mille grazie e spero di rincontrarci a presto per un altra avventura a vele spiegate
