French Escale

All our journeys Mediterranean · 7 to 10 days

From island to island

A yacht, a crew, and only the wind to answer to. A different anchorage every night, clearer water every morning.

A cruise is the freest way to travel the Mediterranean. You board once, and the landscape changes around you. We charter the yacht, hire the crew and plan the route with the captain — knowing it will change along the way.

The classic route leaves the Riviera, reaches Corsica at Calvi and the Gulf of Porto, sails south to Bonifacio and crosses to the Maddalena archipelago off Sardinia. Coves no road can reach, dinners on deck under the stars, stops in village harbours: the Mediterranean as it can only be seen from the water.

The moments that make it

  1. The yacht and her crew

    A classic sailing yacht or a motor yacht, with captain, steward and chef on board. We choose the boat for your group and your taste for sailing.

  2. The secret anchorages

    Coves reachable only by sea, chosen that morning according to the wind. Swimming, paddleboarding, snorkelling.

  3. Bonifacio from the sea

    Arriving beneath the white cliffs, the harbour at sunset, dinner inside the citadel.

  4. La Maddalena

    A protected archipelago of turquoise water and pink-sand beaches, and total silence once night falls.
