Discovering Haute-Corse by sea gives access to a multitude of wild coves, secluded beaches and spectacular cliffs that are often unreachable on foot. Sailing offers privileged panoramas over the coastline, revealing all the geological and natural richness of the island.
Boat trips become a true exploration, alternating sailing, swimming in turquoise waters and stops in unspoilt places where nature has remained intact.
An activity accessible to everyone
Boat trips in Corsica are suitable for families, couples, groups of friends and solo travellers alike. Several options are available to suit your preferences: half-day, full-day, private cruise or small-group outing.
Most providers offer comfortable boats skippered by experienced professionals who share their knowledge of the landscapes, wildlife and history of the Corsican coastline.
Must-see places to discover on a boat trip
The Agriates Desert and its paradise beaches
The Agriates Desert is one of the most popular destinations on boat trips 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 colours 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 fishing villages
Nicknamed "the island within the island", Cap Corse reveals a spectacular coastline made up of cliffs, Genoese towers, small harbours and villages clinging to the mountains.
A boat trip lets you admire these wild landscapes while discovering the most beautiful coves in Corsica and unspoilt anchorages, far from the summer crowds.
Exceptional natural sites accessible only by sea
The Scandola Nature Reserve
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Scandola Nature Reserve is one of Corsica's most beautiful natural sites. Its red volcanic cliffs, sea caves and exceptional biodiversity make it a must-see stop.
Excursions offer the chance to observe rock formations sculpted by erosion as well as particularly rich marine life, 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 snorkelling and observe the seabed and Mediterranean fish in a preserved setting.
Calvi and L'Île-Rousse: two unmissable stops
Calvi between heritage and crystal-clear waters
From the sea, the citadel of Calvi offers a particularly impressive panorama. 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 picture-postcard landscapes
L'Île-Rousse charms visitors with its authentic character, red granite rocks and crystal-clear beaches. Boat trips provide easy access to the region's most beautiful anchorages.
The sunset there offers a particularly appreciated spectacle, turning 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 peace of the surroundings.
These trips are perfect for families and travelers 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 helps to better understand the geology, wildlife, flora and history of the coastal villages.
These cruises particularly appeal to travelers wishing to enrich their discovery of Corsica.
Tips for making the most of your sea trip
