The Beach Club

Want priority access to paradise? We’ll collect you by SUV from Calvi Airport and deliver you straight on board your yacht. Embark for welcome cocktails. Then relocate to Plage de Saleccia, a beach that could belong in the Bahamas. Pretty? It’s ranked as one of the Top Ten best beaches in the world.

Wake up in beach heaven. On Plage de Saleccia the sand is bleached white by endless sun. Sandy-bottomed shallows glow topaz. While emerald dunes form a playground for hide-and-seek. The big news? Plage de Saleccia is only accessible by sea. One of the world’s best beaches, this paradise has no crowds, no beach bar and no worries.

Today you’ll wear a mask and snorkel. Because Scandola is Corsica’s private aquarium. A maritime Nature Reserve where fishing has been prohibited since 1975. Dive with tuna and rays while your crew records your subaquatic adventure using underwater cameras. Enjoy a tranquil dinner. In Scandola, the only sound is lapping waves.

Hold on to your hat! Because this morning you’ll buzz into Girolata, a gorgeous town only accessible by boat. Lunch on the beach? Choose from 20 different sandy stretches. For pirate picnics, head to Plage de Liscia. Your crew can unpack hammocks, games and dining tables in the sand.

Today you’ll relocate to Ajaccio. The Capital of Corsica promises pavement cafés, outdoor adventure and fine art. Plus more sand than St Tropez. The best beach is Plage de la Terre Sacrée. The 'Beach of the Sacred Earth' is a holy vision of tickle-your-toes sand and windsurf-friendly sea. Five more beaches are a tender ride away.

Today your yacht will anchor in the Gulf of Propriano. In this sun-kissed bay there are more beaches than hotels. Make a group kayak safari to Plage de Cupabia. Its three swooshes of sand are the stuff of postcards. Yet the only place to score a Calippo is at a single beach bar. Want to stay the night? The only accommodation here is on board your yacht.

This morning you'll tie up in the Mediterranean's most awesome marina. Bonifacio is an ancient town perched in the clouds, with a fjord-like habour hidden by cliffs. Sand? Pinch yourself. Because a quicksilver necklace of 20 beaches stretches east. Each one is wilder, longer and breezier than the last.

Oh. My. Goodness. Today you won't swim to one of the best beaches in the world. But to two. Palombaggia Plage and Rondinara Plage are the beaches travel brochures warned you about. Ice white. Silky sandy. Without a single hotel in sight. After a day on each, you’ll never want to go home.

Wake up and thank your lucky stars. Because without a charter yacht or a personal helicopter, you would never reach Cavallo Island. It’s surrounded by a 79,000-hectare marine park. Snorkel Caribbean-clear seas. or scuba deep for giant grouper. Fancy an Italian dinner? Sardinia is 10 minutes away by kitesurf, windsurf or RIB.

Today you have a tricky choice. There are 60 islands in the Maddalena Archipelago. Which one to SUP, swim or jetski to first? A Y.CO favourite is Spargi. Its palette contains just three colours: cyan sea, blonde beach, emerald forest. Its lagoon is like Bora Bora. Only 59 islands more to go...

This morning, savour brioche and cappuccino on Sardinia’s silkiest sands. Spiaggia del Principe has no beach bar. Your crew will tender in tables, linen and silver spoons. This evening take a passeggiata around Porto Cervo, Italy's most decadent marina. Forgot your heels? Gucci or Pucci will hand-deliver to your yacht.

Today you’ll experience desert island bliss. Because Porto Rotondo has beaches of all colours. Spiaggia Banana is a yellow curve of sand. Spiaggia Le Piscine is swimming pool blue. At dawn or dusk all footsteps will be yours alone.

Time for one last beach? We’ll give you a private island. Because Isola Molara resides in a Nature Reserve guarded by dolphins. The island’s golden sands are cover shoot class. We'll disembark at Olbia Marina. Costa Smeralda Airport is 7 minutes away in our SUV.
