Our cruises aboard the Stalca
Aboard the Stalca, an itinerary is not a schedule — it is a direction.
Our suggested stops define a rhythm, a balance. You decide the rest. Short daily passages (3 to 4 hours maximum), carefully chosen anchorages, a crew that is present without being intrusive.
Itinerary 1: Riviera, Cannes to Saint-Tropez
Departure & Return: Antibes or Cannes
Duration: 7 days | Maximum sailing time: 3.5 hours/day
Day 1 — Antibes, Port Vauban
Board in the late afternoon. Time to settle in, find your bearings, and catch a first glimpse of the old town's ramparts from the deck.
Day 2 — Lérins Islands
Twenty minutes at sea. Anchor off Sainte-Marguerite Island — clear water, Aleppo pines, silence. A free day.
Day 3 — Cannes
A stop in port. Forville market, a walk along the Croisette, lunch on board or ashore, as the mood takes you.
Day 4 — Saint-Tropez
Sail into the gulf. Anchor in the bay, facing the village. Evening on the waterfront or at a terrace café.
Day 5 — Pampelonne, Saint-Tropez peninsula
A day for swimming. The tender allows you to follow the coastline and reach places no road leads to.
Day 6 — Porquerolles
Cross to the island. Clear water, posidonia beds, forest paths by bicycle.
Day 7 — Return
Sail back with a swimming stop of your choice. A last evening on board.
For those who love a discreet Riviera — quiet beaches and unspoilt villages.
Itinerary 2: Cap Corse & Balagne
Departure & Return: Cap Corse & Balagne
Duration: 7 days | Maximum sailing time: 3.5 hours/day
Day 1 — Nice, bound for Corsica
Depart in the evening or overnight. A calm crossing, arriving in the morning.
Day 2 — Centuri, Cap Corse
The most intact fishing harbour on the island. Morning lobster, old stone walls, very few visitors.
Day 3 — Saint-Florent
The Gulf of Saint-Florent, and across the water the Désert des Agriates — a stretch of white sand beach that no photograph does justice to, accessible only by sea or on foot.
Day 4 — Calvi
The Genoese citadel seen from the sea. A stop in port, dinner ashore.
Day 5 — Girolata
No road leads here. An anchorage, a handful of houses, water that photographs cannot render. UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 6 — Calanques de Piana
Explore by tender between columns of pink granite. A landscape the Mediterranean repeats nowhere else.
Day 7 — Return
Crossing back, a day at sea, disembarkation.
For those who seek the Corsica the ferries never show.
Itinerary 3: From the Riviera to Bonifacio
Departure & return: Cannes
Duration: 7 days | Maximum sailing time: 3.5 hours/day
Day 1 — Cannes → Porquerolles
A coastal departure. First anchorage in the waters of the Port-Cros National Park.
Day 2 — Île du Levant
The wildest of the Hyères islands. Snorkelling, calm, pristine seabed.
Day 3 — Porto-Vecchio
A crossing, arriving in the gulf. Santa Giulia or Palombaggia beaches, depending on the season.
Day 4 — Bonifacio
The town perched on the white cliffs of the strait. A walk ashore, dinner at the quayside beneath the ramparts.
Day 5 — Lavezzi Islands
A nature reserve in the middle of the Strait of Bonifacio. Polished granite, crystal-clear water, anchoring in open sea.
Day 6 — Ajaccio
Corsica's capital, a port steeped in history. Covered market, citadel, western light at the end of the day.
Day 7 — Return to Cannes
Crossing back. Disembarkation.
For those who want to cross the full breadth of the French Mediterranean.
