ParcoursSeparated from the Gulf of Porto by the iconic Cap Senino, the bay of Girolata is breathtakingly beautiful. Just like the Piana coves and Scandola reserve, it’s been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. This superb bay owes its name to the village of Girolata, a picturesque hamlet which has the particular feature of being accessible only by sea or by the “postman’s path”. From the port of Girolata, take time to discover the village and its typical red granite houses. During your boat trip, you can also swim in translucent water and admire its wonderful seabed while enjoying breathtaking views of the gulf and sea with its shimmering reflections.

Boat trips are a great way to discover the natural beauty of an area, whether with family, in a group, alone or as a couple. The Piana coves, Scandola and Girolata in Corsica are a popular destination for boat trips due to their unspoiled wild beauty, as well as for their ecological interest.
Our Capelli rigid inflatable boat can hold up to 12 passengers. Made in Europe, it offers comfort and safety and lets you explore every corner of the coast in small groups. It’s also ideal for relaxing as you sail along the coast, taking the time to stop in a small rocky cove, which only the luxury of a boat tour around the Piana coves in a small group can offer.
Built by the CNB - BENETEAU shipyards in Noirmoutier, the Grand Bleu II meets all European safety standards. Its careful dimensions mean it can get in close, even in the most inaccessible places, and offer a detailed visit to Scandola, revealing all the secrets of its faults, coves and rocky drop-offs. Our small launch has a capacity of 63 passengers, but in the interests of comfort and quality, we always limit the number of people on board to a maximum of 49.
Climbing aboard one of our boats means enjoying an adventure within a Corsican family business. A native of Cargèse, Dominique, the father, has 34 years of sailing under his belt, and knows the entire region like the back of his hand. His son Joseph is now following in his footsteps. Their knowledge of this beautiful region means you can enjoy the best experience on the waters of the Scandola Nature Reserve and Gulf of Porto. After so many years out on the waves, they still take pleasure in welcoming and informing you. Our two boats were chosen to enter the caves and faults! With our small, comfortable launch (with shade and toilet) and our 12-seater rigid inflatable boat, you’re sure to make the right choice!
"I’ll take you on a relaxing trip to discover all the little nooks and crannies of the fantastic sites I’ve travelled by boat since childhood…"
