Your possible stops during this cruise
From Saint-Florent, there are 2 main sailing areas to choose from: The Agriate and the Scandola reserve to the west, or Cap Corse to the north. While the west of Corsica will seduce you with its beaches, where the water is sometimes turquoise, sometimes emerald, and its blood-red rocks, the north will take you into another universe, between sea and mountains.
Western itinerary
From Saint-Florent, an ancient Roman city, the cruise skirts the Agriate Desert, unveiling the beauty of Corsica's west coast: the Fiumesante cove and its Mortella tower, the Lodo beach and the mythical Saleccia beach.
In the heart of the Désert des Agriate, small coves and sweeping landscapes beckon you to take a plunge from the boat! Further out, the colorful Ile Rousse juts out into the sea. Then Calvi, guarded by its citadel, watches over an exceptional gulf.
Sailing on to Girolata, the gateway to the Scandola reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Northern itinerary
Weather permitting, you can also set sail for the lesser-known but equally beautiful Cap Corse. William will take you to discover its wild coastline, in particular Nonza with its tower and unusual beach. Further afield, Centuri with its lobster fishing port is typical of Corsican marinas.
Even further north, the island of Giraglia keeps watch over the cape. You can then contemplate the Finocchiarola islands, with their distinctive relief, and its tower, sentinel of the heavenly coves. The anchorages will allow you to sleep lulled by the lapping of the sea.
It's also possible to sail around these 2 areas, towards Nonza on Cap Corse, and the Agriate desert to the west.
The skipper
A professional and passionate skipper, William will take great pleasure in helping you discover the magic of catamaran cruises around the island of Beauty. Of course: this is the very place where he grew up and learned to sail.
Enjoy every moment, live simply, and put happiness above all else

From Paris, we recommend flying to Bastia. You can then easily take a cab to Saint-Florent. As soon as you've booked your tickets, let the skipper know your arrival and departure times!
We spent an excellent week with our family aboard the catamaran. The days pass very quickly, between sailing as soon as possible, anchorage, swimming, paddle....
The skipper really shared with us his passion for sailing, and for his native region (St Florent in Corsica). He is very attentive to the requests of each member of the crew. He knows how to interest the youngest to learn knots (capstan, chair...), he also knows how to delight our taste buds with local culinary specialities such as fiadone...
We had the chance to observe a whale, a fin whale about 20m long, one evening in the waters of the Gulf of St Florent... a magical moment!
