About the Piombino – Golfo Aranci crossing
Piombino to Golfo Aranci is a short Tyrrhenian hop by the standards of this network — six hours, daytime, leaving at 15:00 and arriving at 21:00 on the recorded sailing.
It is a thin seasonal service and does not appear in Corsica Ferries' main published route list, which concentrates the Sardinian traffic on Livorno–Golfo Aranci. Treat Piombino as a summer supplement rather than a fixed link, and check the calendar before planning around it.
Piombino is the mainland port for Elba as well as Sardinia, so the harbour is busier than the town would suggest and the vehicle lanes are shared. Golfo Aranci sits beside its railway station on the Gallura coast, twenty minutes from Olbia and its airport.
