La Maddalena and Elba by yacht with Sea & Sea Charters

A yacht tour of Elba with Sea & Sea Charters gives you the opportunity to admire the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, with one hundred kilometres of coastline and a centuries-old history, magical landscapes and old towns of cultural interest.

Here, beach and sun lovers can find lovely beaches with white sand and a crystal clear sea that make Elba a major destination of a charter yacht cruise on the Tuscan Riviera. Among them, there are Cala dei Frati, with its white gravel, and Fetovaia, Cala della Coteccia and Acquarilli beaches.

Discovering the most beautiful towns of Elba

In addition to beautiful beaches and a crystal clear sea, Elba is also characterised by lovely small towns perched on the hills that, over the centuries, have attracted famous people, such as Napoleon Bonaparte, who had his residence, Villa dei Mulini, which is a combination of imperial style and Baroque elements, built here. The island is also home to the National Museum of Napoleonic Residences and the Archaeological Museum in Portoferraio, to be visited before continuing your sailing adventure on a yacht from the fleet of Sea & Sea Charters.

Among the must-sees of a yacht tour of Elba, there is Portoferraio, the first town you meet and the largest one, where boats and yachts usually moor. It takes its name from the iron mines already known by the Romans and the Etruscans, which made the town so wealthy.

Marciana, on the other hand, is the oldest town on the island; located 375 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains and lush nature, it is a small medieval town with streets paved with local stone, small houses and flower-filled alleys, as well as small squares with fountains. Its many historical and archaeological sites make it an exclusive destination for those who choose to discover Elba by yacht.

The most amazing beaches on Elba

Elba is also appreciated for its beaches, and one of the most picturesque is definitely Fetovaia beach, in the western part of the island and characterised by lush nature, golden sand and cliffs of different colours. But there are also beaches where you can just relax, such as Cavoli beach, which is 1300 metres long and has shallow waters perfect for families with children, and La Biodola beach, which is located in Portoferraio and is also ideal for snorkelling and diving.

As you can see, Elba, which is also where Napoleon was exiled, has a lot to offer to tourists; discover it from the sea, and then visit its many towns or relax on its beaches, for a holiday that is the perfect combination of sun and culture!
