This four-hour sea excursion leaves from the Old Harbor of Bastia and sets out to show travellers the full length of Cap Corse from the water. The boat follows a wild, unspoiled coastline past Genoese towers, hilltop villages and coves that can only be reached by sea. Commentary runs throughout the trip, covering the history of the peninsula and the places passed along the way.
The group is capped at twelve people, which keeps the outing personal, and a professional skipper handles the boat with fuel included. When sea and weather conditions allow, there is a swimming stop in clear water, and complimentary refreshments are served on board. Reviews repeatedly praise the swimming, with several travellers describing turquoise, crystal-clear water.
The tour suits anyone staying in or near Bastia who wants a compact introduction to Cap Corse without spending a full day on the water. One reviewer found it a good way to explore the island in high temperatures, thanks to the chance to refresh in the sea. There is no hotel pickup; everyone makes their own way to the Capitainerie du Vieux Port on the Quai 1er Bataillon de Choc.
A few practical points will help you get the most out of this half-day trip.
Common issues. The main limits are stated plainly on the booking page. The swim stop happens only depending on conditions, so it cannot be guaranteed, and there is no hotel pickup. One reviewer mentioned the boat going very fast at times, which may not suit nervous passengers.
At the Capitainerie du Vieux Port, Quai 1er Bataillon de Choc, 20200 Bastia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own arrival.
Four hours on the water. That covers the coastal cruise along Cap Corse, the commentary and, when conditions allow, a swimming stop. Return is to the same old harbor in Bastia.
