Overview

Embark with our small Corsican family company.
Our crew, father and son, will be happy to welcome you aboard our comfortable launch to make you enjoy a two-hour getaway on the transparent waters of the Corsican coast.
Listen to your captain tell you the story of these thousand-year-old red granite rocks. You will be immersed in the heart of a wild and unspoilt nature under the vigilance of the Tower of Omigna.
Our comfortable boat will allow you to penetrate deep into the marine caves of Capo Rosso. You will gently follow the Calanques de Piana.
Depending on the Check-out Time, you will return to the port accompanied by the setting sun. Swimming possible according to the season and conditions.
Please note: Joseph, your sailor, speaks English and will answer all your requests. He will gladly share comments and anecdotes on the sites visited.

Capo Rosso

Comfortably installed aboard our little speedboat, enjoy the breathtaking spectacle before you. Marvel at the caves of the Baie des Veaux Marins, sometimes called the Piscine for the clarity of its blue waters. Shiver as you pass in the shadow of the Arch of Capo Rosso and contemplate the rocks visible through the transparent waters. You will feel very small in front of the majestic red rock cliffs. Your pilot's informed comments will allow you to appreciate all the beauty of the site. You can also count on your sailor, who is always available to answer your questions. From cove to cove, you will navigate serenely in the heart of an exceptional landscape.

Q: Will I get seasick on Friendly getaway to the Calanques of Piana from Cargèse?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
