WINDWARD

CREWED CHARTER / TYRRHENIAN AND CORSICA

Sail it properly

Four boats, permanent crew, and a cruising ground we have worked for nineteen seasons. We do not run a charter fleet as a rental counter: you get a passage plan, a skipper who has made it forty times, and a week that is actually sailed.

03 boats

The fleet

ARIETTA

Sloop, Nautor Swan 62

The fast one. Carbon rig, deep keel, and the boat we send when someone says they want to race the sunset.

MERIDIAN BELLE

Ketch, Camper & Nicholsons

Teak, brightwork and a saloon that seats everyone. Restored over two winters and sailed hard ever since.

SOLENT GREY

Small, seaworthy, and the only one we will take north of the Bonifacio strait in a mistral.

Standard route

A week, plotted

The standard week runs north from Bonifacio through the Lavezzi reefs and up the Maddalena archipelago, arriving Porto Cervo on the seventh evening. It is plotted rather than promised: weather moves it, and the crew will tell you so on the first morning.
