From the port of Porto-Vecchio, set off for a full day exploring the stunning coastline of southern Corsica. Aboard one of our comfortable boats — Sperenza, Santa Maria, or Avventura — this sea cruise takes you to some of the island’s most iconic landscapes: dramatic cliffs, secluded coves, turquoise lagoons, and idyllic islands.
A route shaped by the coast’s most beautiful sites
The day begins at 8:30 AM, heading first toward the Cerbicales Islands Nature Reserve, a small protected archipelago where seabirds and crystal-clear waters coexist. This first passage offers the chance to observe a preserved marine ecosystem, with reefs and wild coastal vegetation.
Next, the cruise continues to Piantarella Bay and the beaches of Sperone, where you’ll stop for a first swim on a sandbank in the open sea. The water here is remarkably clear, and the peaceful atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a coffee, a few canistrelli (Corsican biscuits), and cold drinks served on board.
We then anchor in the Fazzio Lagoon, a quiet and pristine spot with calm, translucent water. A Corsican-style aperitif is served on board: local charcuterie, cheeses, wines, beers, and soft drinks. Paddle boards, seascooters, masks, and snorkels are available if you’d like to extend the experience in the water.
Bonifacio from the sea
Late morning, the arrival in Bonifacio by sea is a spectacular sight: limestone cliffs, sea caves, and the entrance to its legendary harbor. You’ll have around two hours of free time to enjoy lunch, stroll through the old town, or explore the shops.
Heading to the Lavezzi Islands
In the afternoon, the journey continues toward the Lavezzi archipelago, passing by Cavallo Island and the old Roman quarry of San Bainzo. A swimming stop at Lavezzu offers a chance to discover the marine life below the surface — with masks and snorkels provided for an unforgettable snorkeling session in crystal-clear waters.
Final stop: Porto Novo
Before returning, there’s one last anchorage in the bay of Porto Novo, a peaceful and unspoiled natural haven — ideal for a final swim or simply relaxing on board.
The return to Porto-Vecchio follows the southern coastline, passing by the island’s most iconic beaches: Santa Giulia, Palombaggia, and Carrataghju.
