Mediterranean guides
A selection of destinations popular with boaters, reshaped as realistic days: one departure area, a few stops, indicative distance and the decisions to make before casting off.
These guides support planning; they never replace official charts and notices, a current marine forecast or the skipper’s judgement.
Corsica · France
Bonifacio’s cliffs, Piantarella’s shallows and Lavezzi granite in a day plan that keeps a genuine margin for the return.
Corsica · France
Red rock, Girolata and the Scandola reserve along a spectacular, isolated coast that remains fully exposed to the west.
Provence · France
Frioul, Sormiou, Morgiou and En-Vau inside a busy national park where wind, access and seabed protection shape the day.
French Riviera · France
Cap d’Antibes, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat in an accessible loop shared with ferries, swimmers and heavy summer traffic.
Balearic Islands · Spain
An island too large for one loop: Tramuntana, Palma Bay, Formentor or the southern calas according to the day’s wind.
Balearic Islands · Spain
A short but busy crossing to Espalmador and Formentera where breeze, ferries and protected seagrass shape every decision.
Balearic Islands · Spain
Two opposing coasts: clear southern calas, a wilder north and a first decision set by the Tramuntana.
Catalonia · Spain
Cap de Creus, rocky coves and the Medes Islands on a coast where Tramuntana quickly changes the direction of the day.
Sardinia · Italy
Spargi, Budelli and Caprera in a granite maze shaped by narrow channels, Mistral and national-park access.
Campania · Italy
Faraglioni, Sorrento and cliffside villages across beautiful water shared with ferries and dense excursion traffic.
Cyclades · Greece
A monumental caldera where cliffs, Meltemi and excursion traffic call for more precision than a sunset photograph suggests.
Ionian Islands · Greece
A real Ionian crossing to Lakka and the Paxos caves, gentler than the Cyclades but still defined by distance and return.
Cyclades · Greece
Delos and Rhenia sit a few miles from Mykonos across a channel where Meltemi can turn short distance into demanding water.
Dalmatia · Croatia
Hvar, the Pakleni and Vis open beautiful routes from Split, but one day cannot treat all three as neighbouring stops.
Dalmatia · Croatia
Koločep, Lopud and Šipan form a natural progression from Dubrovnik when the three islands are not treated as compulsory appointments.
