🔧 Cruising Considerations

• Shorter hops: Almost daily harbor options.

• Better fuel & provisioning: Especially along the Spanish and Italian coastlines.

• Weather: Coastal cruising allows for ducking into marinas in case of mistral or scirocco.

• Marina Fees: Expect higher prices in France and popular Italian zones in summer.
