About the Golfo Aranci – Piombino crossing
Westbound from Golfo Aranci to Piombino takes just over seven hours in daylight — the current sailing leaves at 08:30 and berths at 15:45 — and runs a few days a week in the middle of summer rather than daily.
The route is seasonal and marginal: Corsica Ferries' published network routes Sardinian traffic through Livorno, with Piombino appearing only in the peak weeks. Anyone building a return trip around it should confirm both legs before booking.
Golfo Aranci's quay is next to the station, which makes it one of the few Sardinian ports you can reach without a car. Piombino puts you on the Tuscan coast with the Aurelia and the motorway north to Livorno and Genoa.
