Yacht Charter in Tuscany

Tuscany is an Italian region situated in the central-western part of the country, between the northern part of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines Mountains.
Tuscany is easily accessible from England thanks to the international airports of Pisa and Florence. From small medieval villages to gorgeous beaches bordered by forests and pine trees, Tuscany offers many unique places. Explore the coastline stretching from Carrara to the peninsula of Monte Argentario, south of Grosseto. For your stopovers, there are many harbours you can access along the coast. If you wish to visit Pisa and its famous tower, you can safely moor in the mouth of the Arno.

A cruising area which is loved by many boaters, Tuscany is also well known for its archipelago stretching from Tuscany to Corsica. The archipelago’s main island is Elba. With 147 kilometres of beaches and sheltered coves, you will be able to stop in one of the four harbours of the island: Portoferraio, Marciana Marina, Campo nell’Elba and Porto Azzuro.
