Plan

Day 1: Ajaccio.
Boarding in Ajaccio in the afternoon. Departure around 06:00 pm (18h00), heading to Sainte Barbe in the Bay of Ajaccio, dinner and overnight on board.

Day 2: Ajaccio – Sagone – Cargèse (Sailing time: 4h00).
After breakfast, we will set sail for the bay of Sagone or Cargèse (depending on weather conditions). Sagone is a small fishing village hidden at the bottom of a large bay bordered by a long white sand beach. A few miles away, Cargèse consists of a port and a typical village located on the heights. A long time ago, the city was settled by a Greek colony. Lunch on board, nautical activities, relaxation, exploration of the town. Dinner.

Day 3: Sagone/ Cargèse – Gulf of Porto – Girolata (Sailing time: 3h00).
After breakfast, we will sail along the wild coast and admire its steep capes and deep coves, you will discover Cala di Palù and its well-known stone totems, and finally the typical "Sugar Loaf". Anchoring and lunch in the 'Piscina', a cove lined with steep rocks. You can enjoy swimming, snorkeling or kayaking. After lunch, we will set sail for Les Calanques de Piana, a spectacle of vast caves, red, orange and pink granite cliffs and rock formations sculpted in the shape of animals, and then towards the Gulf of Porto, a site classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. We will pass through Capo Cenino before reaching one of the natural wonders of Corsica: the Gulf of Girolata, its Genoese bastion and its fishing village. Anchoring for the night in Girolata cove.

Day 4: Girolata – Calvi (Sailing time: 4h00).
After breakfast, we will sail towards Scandola Nature Reserve. With its wild coastline, fringed with reefs and islets, the protected Scandola reserve is one of the most beautiful geological phenomena in Corsica. Only daytime anchoring is allowed within the reserve, allowing a temporary visit, thanks to the tender, of this labyrinth of reefs. Snorkeling will allow you to admire the underwater cliffs and numerous fish. Anchoring and lunch in Scandola, then swimming and departure to Calvi. Calvi, for centuries under Genoese domination, claims that the soul of Christopher Columbus still lives in the city. The docks are now filled with lively bars and restaurants. In the upper part of the city, narrow streets wind up to the magnificent citadel. Anchoring for the night in the marina.

Day 5: Calvi – Gulf of La Revellata – Girolata (Sailing time: 3h00).
In the morning, enjoy free time to visit Calvi and then depart for the Gulf of La Revellata: swimming, relaxation, snorkeling, kayaking. After lunch, we will sail towards Girolata. South of Calvi, the landscapes become wild, rugged and cut into brilliant red granite. Sailing is the best way to discover the Scandola Nature Reserve and the beautiful coastal views of Corsica. The volcanic origin of the island, as well as wind and water erosion, created impressive landscapes: steep cliffs, red rocks and deserted coves. Further south, you will discover Girolata, a small fishing village, one of the last places on the coast inaccessible by road and still inhabited. Girolata has a dreamlike quality highlighted by the bright red of the surrounding rocks. A short strip of stony beach and some houses are dominated by an imposing watchtower, built by the Genoese later in the 17th century in the form of a small castle on a cliff overlooking the cove. Nautical activities and anchoring for the night in Cala Muretta or Cala Vecchia.
