gulf of Ajaccio / Sanguinaires Islands , swim stop
The journey begins facing Ajaccio, the imperial city, revealed in a whole new light from the sea: The Cathedral rises with grace, colorful rooftops cascade under the sun, and already the shoreline gently fades into the boat’s wake. As we glide over the water, treasures appear like pearls on a string: Marinella Beach, a stretch of golden sand fringed by pines, The Sacred Land, a monument filled with emotion... And nestled in a sun-drenched cove, the stunning Moorea Beach comes into view. A turquoise haven bordered by umbrella pines, where time seems to stand still. Here, we stop for a swimming break: a refreshing dive, relaxing on board, or simply taking it all in... Everyone experiences the moment in their own way, but always with wonder in their eyes. We then continue westward, towards the Pointe de la Parata, a rocky sentinel gazing out toward the horizon. And then, in the distance, the Îles Sanguinaires emerge. Dark rocks resting on azure waters, a wild archipelago shrouded in mystery... Their wind-carved silhouettes seem to float between sky and sea, offering the soul a vision of rare purity. The Îles Sanguinaires A wild setting, a suspended moment We continue our adventure through the deep, crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Ajaccio, heading toward the horizon where an archipelago emerges, like the edge of the world… The Îles Sanguinaires, dark and majestic, rise from the azure like a mineral mirage. Their volcanic rocks, sun-warmed and wind-carved, stand in stark contrast to the vast blue that surrounds them. A haven for birds, steeped in legends, these islands are as fascinating as they are soothing. Here, time feels frozen, suspended in golden light. It’s a moment to gaze at the horizon, to dream in silence, or simply to savor the raw beauty of this one-of-a-kind landscape. And to accompany this timeless experience, we offer a Corsican apéritif: a glass of wine or fresh juice, a few local specialties to share, and that soft, simple, and warm atmosphere that gives sea outings their special charm. A discreet yet unforgettable pleasure — to be shared with friends, family… or simply with oneself, between sky, sea, and silence.
