Sail Lavezzu Island, Lavezzi Archipelago, Corsica, France

Add to My List Check Off

Lavezzu Island has some great anchorages. Some of the spots include: Cala Lazarina: It is a popular spot at the SW side of the island. Opened to S. Good holding at depths 3-5m. There are some mooring buoys for tripper boats are installed at the cove. Tripper boats leave at about 1600, so they can be taken for an overnight, stay, but they must be vacated before the tripper boats arrive next day. The park's RIB arrives in the morning (around 1000) to check the buoys are free. Cala di U Ghiuncu: Just E of the Cala Lazarina tends to be less crowded. It is well protected from Easterlies. Again there are a few tripper boat's buoys in the cove. Warning: Beware of an unmarked shoal 41°20.100'N, 009°15.280'E W of the entrance to the cove. Contrary to that's drawn at the Navionics charts the depth there are apparently less than 2.5 m: a 40" yacht was noticed running on the rocks there. SHOM charts give just 0.6 m depth at this location. Cala di U Grecu: The approach for the one on the east is well marked with yellow buoys forming a channel. Watch out for rocks on both sides. The space is very small and it gets very busy in high season. Not protected from winds apart from SW. Depths of about 3m. Cala della Chiesa: Located at the NW of the island there are two anchorage spots in the inlets: Cala della Chiesa S inlet 41°20.714'N, 009°15.175'E and Cala della Chiesa E inlet 41°20.944'N, 009°15.411'E. Both said to be difficult to access and suitable only for settled weather. Note: The anchorages on the archipelago are regulated by the authorities. Check the decree of the Mediterranean prefect of France for a collection of the relevant diagrams. Source: Cruisewiki
