- 4-night cruise in Haute Corse
Calanques, deserted beaches and nature reserves. Alone, as a couple, with family or friends, one cabin or the whole boat.
Embark on this four-day catamaran cruise to discover the west coast of Corsica, a veritable jewel of the Mediterranean. Between Ajaccio, the mythical Îles Sanguinaires, the calanques of Piana and the Scandola reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site, let yourself be seduced by wild, unspoilt landscapes. Sail along turquoise waters, explore villages accessible only by sea, and enjoy moments of serenity and swimming in idyllic anchorages. An experience combining nature, history and relaxation awaits you in this emblematic region of the Île de Beauté.
Board your CATLANTE catamaran in Ajaccio at 6pm. After settling in and a welcome cocktail, head for the Sanguinaires Islands (1h30 sailing time). These mysterious islands take their name from the “Sanguinari” coral fishermen who quarantined themselves here after their expeditions. Classified as a protected marine site, they are home to remarkable endemic flora and fauna. In the evening, enjoy dinner on board, overlooking this wild and unspoilt setting.
In the morning, your cruise takes you to the Gulf of Porto to admire Corsica's natural treasures:
the famous calanques of Piana, the impressive cliffs of Capo Rosso, and the Scandola nature reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the late afternoon, we arrive in Girolata, a picturesque village accessible only by sea or on foot. This little haven of peace beckons with its crystal-clear waters, Genoese fortress and enchanting setting. Aperitif ashore, followed by dinner and overnight at anchor or quayside.
Set sail for the Gulf of Porto, skirting the majestic calanques of Piana. Stop for lunch in this spectacular setting before setting sail for Cargèse, a charming Mediterranean port founded by Greek settlers. This unique Corsican village boasts two churches facing each other: one Catholic, the other Orthodox. After a day rich in discoveries, dinner and overnight at anchor.
In the morning, head for Figuera in the Gulf of Sagone, famous for its fine sandy beaches and bathing waters. Take advantage of the afternoon to relax before reaching the Gulf of Ajaccio at the end of the day. End your cruise with a stopover at Sainte-Barbe or Tahiti Beach, ideal for a final swim and dinner under the stars. Overnight at anchor.

CATLANTE Catamarans Haute Corse
Catamaran cruises in Corsica are ideal holidays from late May to late September. If you're afraid of the heat, choose June instead, for its longest days of the year and mild temperatures, or September for its falling temperatures and the still-warm summer sea.
The east coast of Corsica is the most interesting. From the north to the south of the island, it offers a striking coastline, perfectly suited to sailing cruises.
It's a difficult question. The entire east coast of Corsica is splendid. If you prefer authenticity and rugged coastlines, choose the Haute-Corse cruise; if you want more beaches and less relief, opt for the Corse du Sud cruise. Or do both!
There's no place more beautiful than Corsica. Corsica is one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
A catamaran cruise in Corsica, all inclusive on board, with skipper-captain and cook, costs an average of €2,100 per person. Prices vary according to the month of departure and the model of catamaran.
Transport to the departure point in Ajaccio must be added.
Cruises in Haute Corse depart on Saturdays and Sundays. All Catlante catamaran models are available for this cruise.
