About this experience

Enjoy the 37 years of experience of our small family company for a different cruise. Embark with Dominique, the Corsican captain, and his son Joseph, aboard a comfortable boat (toilet and sheltered area from wind and sun) for a friendly and enriching discovery of the wonders of the Gulf of Porto. They will share with you the secrets of their region, which they love and know perfectly. Thanks to the small size of the boat, you will dive into the red rocks of Capo Rosso, the coves of Piana and the Scandola Reserve. You will also enjoy a stop in the village of Girolata and a swimming break. On the way back, you will appreciate the colors of the sunset over the coves of Piana (depending on the season). Note: Joseph, your sailor, speaks English and will be happy to answer your requests and share his knowledge on the sites visited.
