Monaco yesterday was2.10 and Vaughan is 1.86 if you use the tanker according to my neighbour! Sounds good that but o am 90% full as we have such good weather we have pootled everywhere!

Just to add i am based up in Genoa and I pay very little for an annual berth and make 2 summer trips of 3 weeks at a time and even with the increased fuel i save £8,000+ a year at least and its a great trip down the coast and I can stop off anywhere I like during the trip. Italy is best option...

Hi who is the broker? I bought a boat in Mallorca and had no issues as broker was excellent. I would also say that Nick is your man he is very good and might still act for you for a fee which would be better than anything else as this is what they do day in day out.

Hi thanks for the replies seems like its a good option assuming France Corsica is going to let us in? although we will be coming out of Italy if it makes a difference?

Hi would anyone know if its possible to get into Marinas in Corsica during peak season? I have heard its very busy but I have found that with SofF as well but seam to be able to get in somewhere? Its an 18m and already looked at what marinas I can access but be good to know before heading down...

Hi do you know what Corsica marinas will be like in July and August? I am thinking of sailing down from Genoa but would like to know if Marinas will be possible to access or not in peak season?

Just read this thread and we moved to So f 2 years ago from Spain, managed to get into Menton and did a 6 month once in as couldn't get anything else although Menton was great but a bit expensive for us at 18,000 a year based on short term contracts for 18m. We have now moved to Genoa, Airport...

I stayed there for a year and found it very easy to get to as close to the airport and easy flights to and from UK. Try Isaac or Samuel at Jover yachts they are based there and can organise most things. Its a great town and loads of amenities but the cursing is a bit limited, we always used to...

I had stayed at PV in the summer and got the offer letter, on top of these excessive leases you have to also pay the extra charges, the costs re crazy! There are plenty of very cheap berths just 10 to 100 miles away in Italy and you can always travel down in Summer, we ended up in Genoa not...

We did that part of the coast a couple of years ago but had to move further East as we had a storm blow through. We did do Ciotat and that was a great little port and would defiantly recommenced it. I am looking to go back in 2021 Covid permitting?

I am based in Gena Marina Airport and we have a guy on the forum Mike who is looking after us. He only started this month and seems very good, the costs of the marina are really low compared to others in the area, and I did look at Varazze but they were more than double for the berth let alone...

I have rain in Loano now! and its been windy, but I think its about to get even worse over the next day or so.

We arrived yesterday via LHR had a form locator thrusted on us in the plane from BA and completed it as you do! Then got off plane and could not give the form away! no one would take it, the passport guys did not want to know! I had a quick fix on my passerelle and now tomorrow i am in San...

We are flying out to Nice on Tuesday 18th August and then moving to Italy from Menton on Wednesday. We are heading up the Italian coast after looking at the numbers in France and now thinking of leaving the boat over winter in Italy, we have a car down there to come back and may have to go via...

I actually stayed in Benalmadena for a year and rented without a problem. It is only busy in July and August and then very quiet for the rest of the year. There are lots of different options and many different reasons why you choose a location, with children I would go for a resort type place...
