Let the wind take you on an authentic exploration of the Corsican coastline. Departing from the port of Saint-Florent, Sailing Maures invites you aboard the Sabali II, a Sun Fizz 40 with a unique character, for an exceptional day out to the famous Agriates Desert. This experience is all about conviviality and comfort, with a group limited to just 8 passengers, far from the hustle and bustle of traditional tourist shuttles.
Your day is all about sailing and relaxing in crystal-clear waters. After a warm welcome in port, you'll set sail for emblematic sites such as Punta di Saeta and Lotu beach. The captain, a professional skipper with a state diploma, is happy to share his passion: if you wish, you can take part in the manoeuvres and learn the basics of sailing. The ports of call are carefully chosen to allow you to enjoy the most beautiful anchorages in the Agriates Desert and Cap Corse, places that are often only accessible by sea or by long hiking trails.
The main attraction of this outing is its local and generous approach. At lunchtime, a 'boat-made' meal is served in the shade of the awning. You'll enjoy authentic Corsican products: bruschetta with tapenade or homemade onion confit, followed by pasta with fresh pesto and seasonal fruit. Between two sailings, the leisure equipment is at your disposal to explore the coves: stand-up paddle, snorkelling masks from Cressi and Mares, or simply a few swims around the protective hull of the yacht.
This excursion is an invitation to slow down and respect the fragile biodiversity of the Isle of Beauty. Whether you're a family with children aged 5 and over, or a group of friends, you'll leave with memories of a wild and unspoilt Corsica, seen from the deck of a traditional sailing boat. An unforgettable maritime interlude to round off your stay in Saint-Florent.
