GRAVEL & ROAD CYCLING WEEK

Based on the spectacular Italian Riviera, on the Ligurian coast of Northern Italy.

Oct / Nov / Dec 2026 & March - Dec 2027

Ideal group size = 6

Your bikes. Your crew. A week of incredible riding.

Designed for groups of friends, cycling clubs, sports clubs and like-minded riders who want to share a week of great riding and life on the water.

Liguria is made for exploring by bike. Head inland and discover quiet gravel tracks, mountain trails and remote passes, or stay on the tarmac for spectacular coastal road, long climbs and sweeping descents through the hills. Ride gravel, ride road, or mix the two throughout the week.

Bring your own bike, or travel light. If you’d rather not bring your bike with you, we can help arrange quality road or gravel bike hire locally.

Base Camp Blue becomes your floating basecamp, carrying your group along the coast to a new riding area and a new adventure each day.

We plan personalised daily rides around your group, your bikes and how far or hard you want to ride. We take care of the route planning, GPX files, weather checks, yacht drop-offs and pick-ups, and live GPS tracking.

Before your week, we’ll have an online planning meeting with your group to work through exactly what you need. If you’d like a local cycling guide to ride with you, additional mechanical support, bike hire or other cycling support, we can help arrange it. It’s your week, so we build the riding and support around your group.

While you concentrate on the riding, we take care of everything else. Finish your ride and return to the yacht for a hot shower, great food, a cold drink and a comfortable place to relax before sailing on towards tomorrow’s adventure.

One group. One yacht. A different ride every day.
