Liguria / Toscana

Liguria and Toscana form one of the Mediterranean's most refined sailing grounds, stretching along the Italian Riviera and into Tuscany's coastal waters, with easy access to French anchorages. This region combines dramatic granite headlands, hidden coves, and centuries-old fishing villages with a sophisticated maritime culture that rewards both seasoned sailors and those new to the sea.

The sailing infrastructure here supports genuine exploration. A fleet of 212 charter yachts ranges from intimate sailing vessels to spacious motor cruisers, while 16 marinas and natural anchorages provide secure bases and resupply points throughout the season. Whether you're seeking a week-long passage or shorter coastal hops, the geography encourages varied itineraries—from the steep, forested shores of Liguria to the gentler Tuscan archipelago and beyond into Corsican waters.

Beyond the boat itself, 37 curated day-charter and activity options deepen your connection to these waters. These range from guided explorations of protected marine areas and local fishing traditions to visits ashore at medieval towns and family-run trattorias. The region's modest scale and established sailing community mean that logistics feel effortless, allowing you to focus on the rhythm of wind, light, and the particular character of each anchorage.
