- South Corsica
Alone, as a couple, with family or friends, one cabin or the whole boat.
Discover the beauty of the island by sea. A privileged cruise, away from the crowds, where steep cliffs, deep coves and tiny islets bathed by a turquoise sea follow one another.
A marvellous discovery of Corsica, with its fortresses and Genoese towers, charming little towns, marvellous beaches and coves: Bonifacio, the Lavezzi Islands, Roccapina, Campo Morro, Ajaccio... Corsica, an emerging mountain in the Mediterranean, is a dream destination for sea lovers. Cruising along the island's beautiful west coast aboard a catamaran is not just for seasoned sailors, but for all those who want to discover Corsica without the constraints of congested summer roads, and without having to pack their bags every time they change location.
Boarding your catamaran in Ajaccio from 6pm, installation in your cabins.
Welcome cocktail.
Dinner and overnight at anchor.
Departure for Cacalu, also known as Anse de Cacao, a small bay north of Cap Muro. With its sumptuous seabed, it's an ideal stopover for swimming among the rocks. Then sail to Cala Di Conca, a small cove far from civilization, surrounded by magnificent wild vegetation, or to Scoglio Lungho, a rock resembling the Lavezzi Islands, where you'll enjoy pleasant moments of relaxation.
Dinner and overnight at anchor
Cala di Conca or Scoglio Lungo - Roccapina - Fazziolu Islands
Departure for Roccapina. This walk takes you through a chaos of pink granite above the sea, between Sartène and Bonifacio.
You'll discover its unique beach, guarded by the Lion de Roccapina (a rock resembling a lion), and dive into its turquoise water, lined with rocks and scrub. In the late afternoon, sail to the Fazziolu Islands or Paragnanu to spend the evening.
Dinner and overnight at anchor.
Departure for the Lavezzi Islands, 10 km southeast of Bonifacio. This multitude of granite islets, sometimes surrounded by turquoise-blue coves, is one of the most beautiful sites in the Mediterranean. Accessible only by boat, you'll discover an unforgettable aquatic fauna.
The best part of the day is the late afternoon, when the day visitors leave the islets on board the shuttles and the archipelago is returned to the yachtsmen: stroll the deserted hiking trails and make your way to the marine cemetery just before sunset. Dinner and overnight at anchor (if the weather doesn't allow us to spend the night in the unsheltered Lavezzi Islands, we'll spend the night near Bonifacio).
Morning departure from the Lavezzi Islands for Bonifacio. You'll sail along the incredible white cliffs, dominated by the citadel, before entering the port. Bonifacio is a veritable open-air museum. From the top of the cliffs, you'll enjoy exceptional views. If you feel like it, you can enjoy its lively nightlife, with small bars, restaurants on the port or in the alleyways, craft stores...
Dinner and overnight at anchor or alongside the quay.
Depending on the time of departure from Bonifacio, the Captain will take you to discover the Anse d'Arbitru (in Corsican, Arbitru is Arbutus), or the Plage d'Argent at Pietrosella, on the southern shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio. The Mare E Sole or "Silver Beach", nicknamed for its sand, a veritable dusting of light, enjoys an impeccable reputation: translucent water, sandbanks that allow you to walk a long way. Sail on to Cala Lunga, a beach of white sand and turquoise water, or to Tizzano, an adorable little village nestled between the rocks. A veritable paradise, Tizzano has nothing to envy the world's most famous tourist sites. Along the coast, you'll discover pretty coves ideal for lazing in the sun. The clarity and color of the water invite you to take a long, refreshing swim. Dinner and overnight at anchor.
Departure to discover Cala d'Orzu, a cove famous for its "chez Francis" beach restaurant... If you wish, you can have lunch there as an optional extra. In the afternoon, you'll stop off at Campomoro (1 hr 30 min. sail), a village with an end-of-the-world feel and unspoiled charm. Visit the Genoese tower and small museum. Return to Ajaccio at the end of the day. Dinner and overnight on board, alongside the quayside for a night stroll through the charming streets of Ajaccio. Why not take the opportunity to discover the charm of the old town?
