Four hours out of Saint-Florent on the Perla Nera, a 12-seater boat, with a local captain. The trip runs up the Cap Corse shoreline first to the Pigeon Cave, a sea cavity in the cliff that can only be reached from the water. There the paddleboards come out, and paddlers can glide inside the cave where the light turns blue on the rock.
The boat then swings west into the Désert des Agriates for the beach stops: a shorter one at Lotu, then a longer one at Saleccia, with its white sand and turquoise sea. Snorkeling gear is on board, and reviewers again and again single out the swim and paddleboard stops as the best part of the day. The run home passes in front of the Genoese Tower of La Mortella before dropping everyone back at the harbor.
Anyone hoping for constant guided commentary may find it sparse between stops, which several travellers noted.
A half-day at sea with gear and a captain provided, so preparation is mostly about what to wear and carry.
Common issues. Drinks are not included and are sold on board for a fee. One reviewer felt there was not enough time at Saleccia, and another found a full boat of 12 a bit cramped around the seating. Some travellers across reviews wanted clearer and more frequent explanations during stops. There is no hotel pickup, so everyone makes their own way to the meeting point at the port in Saint-Florent.
The meeting point is Restaurant L'Olivier at the Port de plaisance in Saint-Florent. Hotel pickup is not included, so travellers need to arrive at the harbor on their own.
The excursion lasts four hours. The return leg along the coast begins around 2 pm on the scheduled outing.
Boat transport on a 12-seater boat, a local captain, paddleboard and snorkeling equipment are all included. Drinks are not included and can be bought on board for an additional fee.
Food is not listed among the inclusions, and drinks are the only item the listing names as an extra fee. One reviewer mentioned a simple pasta salad served on board, but travellers should not count on a meal being provided.
Beachwear is the item the listing names, plus sun protection of your own choosing for a day mostly spent outside. Snorkeling masks and paddleboards are provided, so the rest is personal kit and anything to drink beyond what is sold on board.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. That is the cancellation rule the listing states.
