DAY 1 : Saint-Florent - Fiume Santu (Agriates)
Luca & Sonia will meet you at the port of Saint-Florent at 5 pm. After familiarising yourself with the boat, you will set sail for the beach of Fiume Santu. It is a sheltered area, located in the Agriates desert, a mountainous and green area. While the barbecue heats up, you can enjoy a swim in the clear waters. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

DAY 2 : Fiume Santu - Calvi (around 4 hours of sailing)
How about a morning swim to start the day? The skipper will then head for beautiful Calvi, the town where Christopher Columbus is said to have been born. Lunch break en route. On arrival, you can set off to conquer the 13th century citadel perched on a rock and the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, a listed monument. Dinner and night spent on board.

DAY 3 : Calvi - Réserve de Scandola - Girolata (around 3 hours of sailing)
After breakfast, you will cast off and sail along Scandola, a nature reserve with a wealth of terrestrial and underwater treasures. This incredible setting of red rocks, the result of the disappearance of a volcano, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will anchor at Girolata for the night. This charming little village of red granite houses is hidden in the countryside and can only be reached by sea or on foot. Luca will be able to give you some good recommendations for dinner!

DAY 4 : Girolata - Calanques de Piana
You will hset sail to the south to reach the calanques of Piana. You will discover a breathtaking landscape mixing orange-red cliffs with a prosperous and wild nature. Don't be surprised if some of these rocks remind you of an eagle, a lion's head, a heart, you are not the only one... You will put on fins, masks and snorkels to explore the underwater life of the creeks. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

DAY 5 : Calanques de Piana - Calvi
It is time to start your return journey to Calvi. During the crossing, you will make many swimming stops to refresh yourself.

DAY 6 : Calvi - Plage de Saleccia (Agriates)
Your ascent to the north continues to the sublime beach of Saleccia. Its white sand and the turquoise colour of its water have earned it a place among the 5 most beautiful beaches in Corsica according to Lonely Planet. It is the perfect place to relax in the sun. For the record, it was on this beach that the landing scene in the film "The Longest Day" was shot. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

DAY 7 : Plage de Saleccia - Plage du Lodo (Agriates) - Saint-Florent
After breakfast, you will head to the Lodo beach (also called Lotu), which is only a short distance from Saleccia. Here again, you can stroll, sunbathe, swim or explore the sea bed. You are expected to disembark in Saint-Florent around 5pm.

Then you will go to Cala Rossa, a cove with beige and pink rocky walls, from where you can observe the Zenobito tower built in the 16th century. Dinner and night anchored.

DAY 5 : Cala Rossa - Island of Finocchiarola
After changing tack, you will head for the Finocchiarola islands (A Terra, Mezzana and Finocchiarola). This uninhabited archipelago has become a nature reserve to protect animal and plant species such as Audouin's gull and finochju (wild fennel). The islet Finocchiarola is home to an ancient Genoese tower from the 16th century offering a magnificent panorama of the archipelago and the Cap Corse in the background. Dinner and overnight at anchor.

DAY 6 : Island of Finocchiarola - Agriates
