Descrizione
17-Day Fully Crewed 97m Lurssen Yacht Charter from Brest to Brittany, Iberia, Corsica and Portofino
There is a particular prestige in beginning a long-range yacht charter from Brest Marina. The setting combines Atlantic gravitas, modern nautical infrastructure and the polished efficiency required for guests who expect the journey to begin with ease rather than formality. Positioned on France’s western coastline, Brest offers secure berthing, smooth arrivals and a level of professional marina support that immediately establishes confidence. Nearby hospitality, strong international access and a deeply rooted maritime identity make it a refined launch point for a charter designed to span both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
This 17-day itinerary is crafted for those who want more than a local cruise. It brings together the texture of Brittany and Normandy, the navigational sweep of northern Spain and Portugal, the dramatic threshold of Gibraltar, and then the unmistakable glamour of the western Mediterranean. Every stage is elevated by the service of a 33-member crew whose role is not merely to operate the yacht, but to curate an environment where dining, relaxation, privacy and day-to-day comfort feel entirely effortless. The booking and planning experience is equally attentive, ensuring that from first inquiry to final disembarkation, every detail reflects the expectations of high-end charter guests.
About Our Service from Atlantic France to the Italian Riviera
Day 1 - Brest to La Trinité-sur-Mer: The voyage opens with departure from Brest and a scenic run south toward La Trinité-sur-Mer. France’s Atlantic coast appears broad and dramatic, with sheltered bays and rocky contours shaping the journey. Arrival at one of Brittany’s best-known yachting centers offers a calm first night in an environment long associated with refined sailing culture.
Day 2 - La Trinité-sur-Mer to Lorient: A shorter coastal leg brings the yacht to Lorient, keeping the pace comfortable while allowing guests to settle fully into life onboard. The marina here is practical, modern and well-suited to a superyacht stop, making this a smooth operational day with ample space for leisurely dining, wellness and deck time.
Day 3 - Lorient to Saint-Malo: The route turns north toward Saint-Malo, where Brittany’s coastline becomes increasingly dramatic. This passage offers expansive Atlantic views and a sense of building momentum before arrival at one of France’s most storied harbor cities. Within the fortified surroundings of Saint-Malo, the charter gains a distinctly historic and atmospheric dimension.
Day 4 - Saint-Malo, Dinard and Cancale: Practical short-range cruising allows graceful access to Dinard and Cancale, each adding a different tone to the day. Dinard contributes polished seaside elegance, while Cancale brings intimacy and culinary reputation. The rhythm remains deliberately unhurried, with a return to protected anchorage supporting a peaceful evening aboard.
Day 5 - Saint-Malo to Granville: Heading east along the Channel coast, the yacht reaches Granville in Normandy. The route is scenic and manageable, and the marina arrival feels pleasingly understated after the scale of Saint-Malo. Guests can enjoy the town’s harbor ambiance or simply continue the day within the comfort of the yacht’s lounges and deck spaces.
Day 6 - Granville to Barneville-Carteret: Normandy’s western shoreline introduces quieter harbors and a more tranquil coastal mood. Barneville-Carteret offers picturesque surroundings and a sense of privacy that suits a luxury charter particularly well. The stop works beautifully as both a scenic pause and a practical transition point before Cherbourg.
Day 7 - Barneville-Carteret to Cherbourg: Cherbourg provides deep-water access, secure docking and strong marina capabilities, making it a natural staging ground before the Iberian transit. The atmosphere remains maritime and distinguished rather than commercial, and the evening can be shaped around guest preference - from elegant onboard entertaining to a quieter night supported by the crew’s attentive service.
Day 8 - Cherbourg to Santander: The Bay of Biscay crossing begins in earnest with a passage toward Santander. On a yacht of this magnitude, offshore cruising becomes a luxurious interlude rather than a simple transit. Guests have the freedom to move between wellness spaces, social lounges, private deck moments and fine dining while the yacht advances southward with composure.
Day 9 - Santander to Porto: Northern Spain gives way to Portugal as the yacht follows the Iberian coastline toward Porto. The route feels scenic and expansive, linking open-water navigation with a destination known for elegance, history and riverside appeal. Evening arrival near the Douro estuary offers another memorable contrast between urban culture and onboard privacy.
Day 10 - Porto to Gibraltar: This is one of the charter’s defining passages, carrying the yacht south to Gibraltar and the entrance to the Mediterranean. It is a day of confident distance-making, during which the true capabilities of the yacht and crew are fully appreciated. Gibraltar rewards the journey with dramatic geography and the symbolism of a major nautical crossroads.
Day 11 - Gibraltar to Cartagena: Having entered the Mediterranean, the atmosphere subtly changes. Waters, light and coastline all take on a different character as the yacht proceeds east to Cartagena. The harbor is sheltered and elegant, making it a comfortable Mediterranean stop after the larger Atlantic stages.
Day 12 - Cartagena to Barcelona: Spain’s eastern coastline unfolds on the way to Barcelona, where a full-service marina and vibrant waterfront energy create a distinctly cosmopolitan stop. This day blends practical progress with the pleasure of arriving in one of Europe’s great maritime cities.
Day 13 - Barcelona to Calvi: Crossing open Mediterranean waters to Corsica introduces a stronger sense of island cruising. Calvi’s approach is scenic and memorable, and the setting encourages a slower evening rhythm shaped around sea views, elegant dining and the relaxed confidence that comes with being well looked after.
Day 14 - Calvi to Portofino: From Corsica, the yacht advances toward Italy’s Ligurian coast and the celebrated harbor of Portofino. This stage feels especially glamorous, uniting refined cruising with one of the Mediterranean’s most coveted destinations. The arrival is ideal for guests seeking the combination of scenery, exclusivity and Riviera atmosphere.
Day 15 - Portofino Coastal Leisure: A day positioned around Portofino allows the itinerary to breathe. Guests may opt for light local cruising, deckside relaxation, spa time, cinema evenings or simply the pleasure of enjoying the yacht as a private retreat in one of the Mediterranean’s most polished settings.
Day 16 - Portofino to Western Mediterranean Positioning: The yacht continues westbound along the Riviera, preserving a relaxed pace after earlier offshore passages. The emphasis now falls on enjoyment of the coastline, the onboard lifestyle and the quiet continuity of excellent service.
Day 17 - Western Mediterranean Completion: The final morning allows for a calm conclusion, whether through brief local cruising or a quiet marina stay before disembarkation. The voyage closes having connected Atlantic France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, Corsica and Italy within a single exceptionally varied luxury charter.
