Additional Information
Dominique, an inhabitant of the area, established his modest family enterprise in 1989. For over three decades, he has been facilitating sea excursions from his home town of Cargèse, an optimal launch point for exploring the corners of the Gulf of Porto; Capo Rosso, the Scandola Reserve, the village of Girolata, and the inlets of Piano. Now, with his son Joseph by his side, he offers a congenial and memorable experience aboard his small yet cozy and fitting boat, equipped with on-board facilities, a covered central area and outdoor sections at the bow and stern. A masterful skipper who deftly navigates his boat close to the rock formation and a warm and mindful sailor assure this cruise to be your most cherished memory. Embark on a day far from the mundane!

Maker of memories - Our skipper Yoann, friendly and full of humor, listened to our group.
We learned lots of things! Superb landscapes…
The semi-rigid boat gives some good sensations, 🙃, allows you to go to the caves, and no seasickness! (even though we are subject to it).
One of the best memories of our stay in Corsica! 👍

A fabulous discovery, made in excellent conditions. - The mini-cruise allowed us to discover fabulous sites. The duration was well suited: we were able to take the time to savor each new landscape. We had stars in our eyes!
Captain Dominique and his sailor Joseph were very friendly, attentive to each passenger, and they presented the site to us in a very interesting way.

An extraordinary day - Very warm welcome, a lot of kindness towards the passengers during the sea trip and on September 26 there was swell. Warm environment. Very nice place for lunch, too bad end of season, limited choice of dishes. Thanks to Dominique for the interesting information he gave us throughout the visit and thanks to Joseph for his kindness and his little signs of attention, it was my birthday that day. More beautiful memories to bring back from this wonderful island and the icing on the cake, a dolphin accompanied us for a while on the return to the port of Cargèse.
