Most providers offer comfortable vessels piloted by experienced skippers who share their knowledge of the landscapes, wildlife, and history of the Corsican coastline.
Must-see places to discover during a boat excursion
The Agriates Desert and its paradise beaches
The Agriates Desert is one of the most popular destinations during boat excursions in Haute-Corse. Contrary to what its name suggests, this vast expanse of maquis is home to some of the island's most beautiful beaches, including Saleccia and Lotu.
From the sea, visitors enjoy exceptional colors where turquoise blue contrasts with white sand and Mediterranean vegetation. Swimming stops allow you to discover a remarkably preserved natural environment.
Cap Corse and its seaside villages
Nicknamed "the island within the island," Cap Corse reveals a spectacular coastline composed of cliffs, Genoese towers, small ports, and villages clinging to the mountains.
A boat excursion allows you to admire these wild landscapes while discovering the most beautiful coves in Corsica and preserved anchorages, far from the summer crowds.
Exceptional natural sites accessible only by sea
The Scandola Nature Reserve
Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Scandola Nature Reserve is one of the most beautiful natural sites in Corsica. Its red volcanic cliffs, sea caves and exceptional biodiversity make it an essential stop.
The excursions allow you to observe rock formations sculpted by erosion as well as particularly rich marine wildlife, in a strictly protected environment.
Sea caves and secret coves
The coastline of Haute-Corse is home to many caves accessible only by boat. Some reveal spectacular plays of light when the sun illuminates the translucent waters.
These stops also offer the opportunity to go snorkeling and observe the seabed and Mediterranean fish in a preserved setting.
Calvi and L'Île-Rousse: two essential stops
Calvi between heritage and crystal-clear waters
From the sea, the citadel of Calvi offers a particularly impressive panorama. The excursions allow you to admire this historic fortress while sailing along the fine sandy beaches that line the bay.
The calm waters of this area are ideal for swimming, water sports and discovering the seabed.
L'Île-Rousse and its postcard landscapes
L'Île-Rousse charms with its authentic character, its red granite rocks and its beaches with crystal-clear waters. Boat trips make it easy to reach the most beautiful anchorages in the region.
The sunset there offers a particularly appreciated spectacle, transforming the landscapes into a true Mediterranean postcard.
Which excursion should you choose according to your preferences?
Relaxation and swimming cruises
Some excursions focus on stops in wild coves so that participants can fully enjoy swimming, snorkeling or simply the calm of the surroundings.
These outings are perfectly suited to families and travellers looking for a day dedicated to relaxation.
Discovery and exploration excursions
Other itineraries place greater emphasis on discovering the natural and historical heritage. The skippers' commentary provides a better understanding of the geology, wildlife, flora and history of the coastal villages.
These cruises particularly appeal to travellers wishing to enrich their discovery of Corsica.
