Why rent a sailboat in Piombino?
Known as one of the main departure bases for boats and ferries to the islands of the Tuscan archipelago, Piombino is also a popular seaside resort and a town with a rich history. Renting a sailboat in Piombino allows you to set sail from the ideal base for the beautiful island of Elba, as well as Corsica and the wild coast of the Tuscan Maremma.
What is there to visit in Piombino and the surrounding area?
Overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and located just opposite the island of Elba, Piombino is surrounded by magnificent fine sandy beaches. Once you have explored the shores of the region, sailing north you will find Baratti, with its famous beach, and the long sandy beaches of San Vincenzo and Marina di Castagneto Carducci. Heading south, you can discover Punta Ala and the Maremma coast. The islands of the archipelago, a sailor's paradise surrounded by the blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, deserve a separate chapter. The island of Elba, a must for those who love sailing, is full of hidden coves and small semi-deserted beaches, perfect for the summer when most tourists flock to the more famous beaches. With a week for your cruise, you can explore the island of Giglio and Capraia and venture to Montecristo and Pianosa, where you cannot moor. Once at the island of Elba, it will be easy to sail to Corsica and its breathtaking landscapes.
Useful advice for sailing to Piombino
The strongest wind in the region is the Libeccio, which comes from the Ligurian Sea.
