18-Day Fully Crewed 97m Lurssen Yacht Charter from Brest via Lisbon, Mallorca, Corsica and Toulon
A charter of this scale deserves an embarkation point that feels equally accomplished, and Brest Marina delivers exactly that. Situated on France’s celebrated western coast, it combines practical excellence with an unmistakably European sense of maritime prestige. Guests benefit from modern marina infrastructure, smooth arrivals, professional support and the comfort of beginning in a destination where operational confidence and refined hospitality work hand in hand. From the moment you step aboard, the atmosphere is set for a journey that is both polished and expansive.
This 18-day route has a grand, sweeping quality to it. It begins in Brittany and Normandy, gradually extends south along France’s Atlantic edge, crosses to Spain and Portugal, then transforms into a Mediterranean odyssey shaped by Gibraltar, Málaga, Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Ajaccio and Toulon. Rather than feeling rushed, the journey is structured to give each phase its own identity, moving from tidal historic coasts to warmer southern waters with elegance and control. Throughout, the 33-member crew manages service with impressive discretion, allowing guests to personalize dining, entertainment and daily rhythm while enjoying an atmosphere of complete privacy.
About Our Service Along Western France, Iberia and the Balearic Arc
Day 1 - Brest to Vannes: Departure from Brest introduces the voyage with a strong Atlantic character - dramatic headlands, ocean light and the satisfying sense of leaving a great maritime port behind. The yacht then makes for Vannes, where calmer approaches through the Gulf of Morbihan create a gentler arrival. This contrast between open coast and sheltered water gives the first day a rich and memorable texture.
Day 2 - Vannes to La Trinité-sur-Mer: A shorter passage keeps the pace comfortable while exploring one of Brittany’s most established yachting centers. La Trinité-sur-Mer offers a refined marina setting and a strong nautical atmosphere, making it a natural stop for a charter that values both elegance and maritime authenticity.
Day 3 - La Trinité-sur-Mer to Saint-Malo: Cruising north, the coastline grows increasingly dramatic before opening into Saint-Malo’s fortified harbor. The city’s visual identity, shaped by ramparts and stone architecture, makes arrival especially striking. It is one of those destinations that immediately enriches the itinerary through character alone.
Day 4 - Saint-Malo, Dinard and Cancale: Short-range navigation allows the day to be shaped around neighboring highlights. Dinard contributes classic resort elegance, while Cancale delivers a smaller-scale waterfront charm that feels intimate and distinctly Breton. Returning to protected waters nearby keeps the atmosphere relaxed and allows the crew to deliver another carefully tailored evening onboard.
Day 5 - Saint-Malo to Granville: The yacht proceeds east into Normandy toward Granville, where the route remains scenic and practical. Marina access is smooth, and the town offers a harbor ambiance that feels quieter but no less rewarding. This stage works beautifully as a transition from Brittany’s strong identity into Normandy’s more understated coastal appeal.
Day 6 - Granville to Barneville-Carteret: Normandy’s western shoreline encourages a slower, more contemplative cruising mood. Barneville-Carteret and the surrounding area provide peaceful berthing and attractive natural surroundings, offering guests a sense of calm before the itinerary moves into larger operational waters.
Day 7 - Barneville-Carteret to Cherbourg: Cherbourg’s protected harbor and comprehensive marina services make it an ideal pre-crossing stop. Provisioning, technical readiness and guest comfort align smoothly here, while the harbor’s maritime legacy keeps the atmosphere refined rather than routine.
Day 8 - Cherbourg to La Rochelle: This staged offshore leg along France’s Atlantic coast allows the charter to progress south in a measured way. La Rochelle brings a polished marina environment and a well-known nautical heritage, making it a strategic and enjoyable stop before the Bay of Biscay crossing.
Day 9 - La Rochelle to A Coruña: The passage across the Bay of Biscay becomes a defining moment in the itinerary. A yacht of this size transforms distance into comfort, and the onboard experience remains rich with wellness, dining and social possibilities throughout. Arrival in A Coruña signals a full transition into Spanish Atlantic cruising.
Day 10 - A Coruña to Lisbon: Portugal’s coastline and Lisbon’s magnetic waterfront setting give the route a new visual and cultural tone. The city’s marina arrival is especially rewarding after offshore navigation, offering energy and elegance without compromising the intimacy of private yachting.
Day 11 - Lisbon to Gibraltar: Southbound progress continues toward Gibraltar and the gateway between two seas. This longer leg highlights the yacht’s capability and the crew’s seamless coordination, while guests remain immersed in comfort, views and service that never loses its sense of ease.
Day 12 - Gibraltar to Málaga: Entering the Mediterranean brings a shift in light, color and cruising atmosphere. Málaga is reached on a shorter and more relaxed leg, ideal after the extended Atlantic phases. The harbor setting feels cosmopolitan yet easy, allowing guests to enjoy a more Mediterranean rhythm.
Day 13 - Málaga to Valencia: The route continues northeast along Spain’s coastline, balancing steady progress with coastal beauty. Valencia’s marina infrastructure and strong waterfront character make it a valuable stop before the island crossing ahead.
Day 14 - Valencia to Palma de Mallorca: Offshore cruising to Palma introduces the Balearic dimension of the voyage. The approach to Mallorca feels distinctly Mediterranean and marks one of the itinerary’s most desirable lifestyle moments, with premier marina surroundings and a warm, polished island atmosphere.
Day 15 - Palma de Mallorca to Ajaccio: This longer crossing toward Corsica is strategic and rewarding, positioning the yacht well for the final approach to mainland France. Ajaccio offers beauty, shelter and a sense of Mediterranean authenticity that complements the itinerary’s broader luxury appeal.
Day 16 - Ajaccio to Toulon: The yacht now turns north toward the French Mediterranean coast. Toulon provides a fitting arrival point - secure, elegant and well-situated for a concluding Riviera-style phase of the charter.
Day 17 - Toulon Coastal Leisure: A dedicated leisure day near the French Riviera ensures the voyage does not end in haste. Guests may choose a gentle cruise, extended use of the yacht’s wellness and entertainment facilities or simply the pleasure of lingering in a sophisticated coastal setting.
Day 18 - Riviera Completion: The final morning allows for calm disembarkation or a short closing cruise before departure. The itinerary concludes having connected Atlantic France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, the Balearics, Corsica and southern France within one sweeping luxury experience.
