About this tour
A 4.5-hour catamaran cruise departing Île-Rousse around 16:30 to reach L'Acciolu beach in the Désert des Agriates, where you'll swim in clear turquoise water and snorkel among shallow reefs. The return journey includes a gourmet spread of charcuterie and cheese with wine or punch, timed to catch the sunset near the Îles de la Pietra. The small-group format (maximum 18 passengers) allows genuine breathing room on deck to absorb the granite coastline.

What to expect
You'll board mid-afternoon and sail north along Corsica's largely uninhabited coast. The catamaran anchors at L'Acciolu, a pristine sandy beach rimmed by desert scrub—you have time to swim and explore the seabed with provided masks. Back on deck as light softens, the crew sets out a shared board of Corsican cured meats, cheese and olives, plus your choice of local wine, pastis or soft drink. The final hour unfolds as the sun dips toward the islands offshore, the granite peaks turning amber and rose.
