Vast vineyards grow on the hillsides in the vicinity of picturesque villages and romantic villas, but there’s another side of Tuscany that is insufficiently popular. The Tuscan seashore needs exploring and certainly it is best done by a splendid yacht. Uninhabited islands are waiting to be explored. The coast of Tuscany and the Tuscan Islands are covered with mountains rising up from the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and Corsica and offers fine anchorages and incomparably good diving. You will find something like Italy, that you’ve already visited, but utterly different because a charter through the Tuscan Isles and their seaside will captivate. According to an ancient legend, the seven islands of the Tuscan Archipelago – Gorgona, Capri, Elba, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio, and Giannutri – were the pearls of a necklace that was the property of the goddess of love, Venus. When the necklace fell into the ocean, the pearls were transformed into these seven wonderful islands. There are not many other places that can be compared to this exceptional treasury of history, architecture, and fine art. Islanders produce some of Tuscany’s best wines and you’ll be able to taste them, leaving your yacht to go to beautiful vineyards via a quick trip by car or helicopter. If you like adventures, a charter in Tuscany offers you a lot of diving and action. Tuscany is a heavenly place for gourmets, history, and nature lovers.

day 1Viareggio
You’ll embark at Viareggio on the mainland, 15 miles away from the airport of Pisa. Don’t be surprised if you find your crew listening to opera crooning from the speakers when you arrive, though it’s no wonder since this is the birthplace of the famous composer Giacomo Puccini. He composed La Boheme, Madame Butterfly, Cio-Cio San, and other classic operas. Puccini’s house, where he lived and created, is near Torre del Lago and is available for visitors. A health and seaside resort that’s been around since the early 1900’s is lined with art nouveau buildings and possesses six miles of beach.day 2Viareggio to La Spezia
Absorb some of the local color and culture of Tuscany, where the modern Italian language was born, and then head for the islands. Sixteenth century ramparts entirely surround Lucca, where impressive medieval and renaissance architecture, antique bazaars, and great dining facilities are inherent to this unique town. Afterwards, move to La Spezia and pass the night with entertainment at Porto Lotti Marina.day 3La Spezia to Cinque Terre and Porto Venere
La Spezia is a kiss of God in the center of the charming expanse of the Ligurian Rivera and is the ideal starting point for visiting Cinque Terre. It includes five small hamlets on the cliffs over the water and only a boat or the small train going between them can take you there. Riomaggiore and Manarola are connected with the coastal Lover’s Walk, which we recommend you hike. High up, brightly tinted 12th century houses line the harbor and front the narrow alleys that lead to the castle. If you traverse to Elba in the evening, you’ll arrive there for breakfast tomorrow.day 4Elba to Isola del Giglio
Despite being the rather infamous island on which Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to in 1814, the waters here are crystal clear, the shore is fringed with cliffs, and it looks like an apt spot to strand yourself for short time. Napoleon’s residence, the Villa San Martino, is four miles from the shore. Nowadays, Elba finds itself as a desirable destination with fascinating restaurants and hotels. Before your yacht leaves for Isola del Giglio, go explore one of the splendid inlets.
day 5Giglio to Montecristo
If you yearn to rest on golden sands, go enjoy the virginal shores of Isola del Giglio. There’s a stone watchtower erected by the Medicis that dominates the town. Further to the west is the small pyramid shaped grey-pink granite island of Montecristo. Porto Ercole on the Argentario Peninsula is not far from here.day 6Porto Ercole
Porto Ercole is a small jewel of a town that’s embraced by a shawl of perfectly beautiful sand and rock beaches. Have a fun time playing with the yacht’s water toys or touring the neighboring Siena. You’ll anchor off the islet of Giannutri in the afternoon after a picnic lunch on the beach near Siena. Giannutri is the southernmost island in the archipelago and, after passing the night here, you’ll sail to your final port of Rome.day 7Rome
It’s recommended to pull into the Roma Marina Yachting, a new marina in the old seaport of Civitavecchia where it’s located against the backdrop of an ancient fort. Go into the city and loiter the Roman boulevards lined with trees, have a snack in the outdoor cafes, enjoy the coolness of fountains, and visit the best Italian shops before catching a flight back home.
