Croisière Agriates · Saint-Florent · Northern Corsica
Sailing excursions from Saint-Florent, at the heart of Northern Corsica
Croisière Agriates offers day sailing trips from the marina of Saint-Florent, Northern Corsica (2B). Stan and Emiliano, our local crew, take you to the most beautiful sites of the Agriates desert (iconic beaches of Saleccia and Lotu), the Pigeon Caves and the spectacular cliffs of the Cap Corse as far as the perched village of Nonza, in the Gulf of Saint-Florent.
On board Eridu, our 12-metre Bénéteau Oceanis 400, groups are capped at 10 guests maximum to preserve the intimacy of every sailing. Lunch is served on board at anchor, built exclusively around small Corsican producers in short supply chains. Drinks included: Giacometi cuvée des Agriates wine (rosé and white), sodas and water. We sail within the Cap Corse and Agriate Marine Nature Park, choosing sandy-bottom anchorages to protect the posidonia meadows.
Two signature day cruises: the Agriates day (Cap Corse, Pigeon Caves, Lotu beach) or the Cap Corse — Nonza day. For private groups (hen/stag, birthday, retreat, wedding), private charter remains available on a bespoke basis.

Discover Why choose our sailing yacht in Saint-Florent
Four commitments that set our sailing cruises apart from the standard group shuttles or motor boats out of the Saint-Florent marina.
Small groups of 10 max
An intimate experience, far from the crowded group shuttles.

Our yacht's legal capacity is capped at 10 guests by French Maritime Authorities. This constraint is also a quality: we keep personalised service and a pace adapted to each group. No queues, no crowded beaches: you anchor off the beaten path.

We were among the first professional crews in the gulf to adopt the Cap Corse and Agriate Marine Nature Park charter: sandy-bottom anchoring, limited engine use, collection of floating waste, on-board education about Mediterranean biodiversity.
The jewels of Northern Corsica to explore under sail
Four iconic sites we reach on our cruises from Saint-Florent, all inaccessible or poorly served by road. Hover over each card for more detail.
Iconic beach
Saleccia beach
1.1 km of fine white sand, pine forest behind, legendary turquoise water.
Our final stop of the Agriates day. Swim, shaded pine forest and sand so fine it squeaks underfoot. Scenes shot in 1962 for The Longest Day.
See the Saleccia guide
Ideal for families
Lotu beach
350 m of sandy arc, very gentle seabed, 20 min under sail from Saint-Florent.
The family beach par excellence, reached in 20 minutes of sailing. Very shallow seabed, perfect for children. Seasonal beach bar on site.
See the Lotu guide
Perched village
Nonza & black pebbles
Village 100 m above the sea, 18th-century Paolian tower.
Iconic Cap Corse silhouette, crowned by a Paolian tower. The beach is made of black pebbles, legacy of an old asbestos mine. Swim in front of the cliffs.
See the Nonza guide
Heritage
Tower of Mortella
1563 Genoese sentinel that inspired the 103 British Martello towers.
At the southern tip of the Gulf of Saint-Florent. Famous for the 1794 British siege led by Nelson and for giving its name to the Empire's Martello towers.

« Fantastic day and fantastic meal with a very friendly and excellent crew!! A little tip though: a maximum of 8 people is recommended...we were 8 and I think with 10 we would have been a bit cramped...In any case, thank you both for this wonderful day!! »

« Superb 10am to 5pm day on the Croisiere boat with a great crew. Highly recommended as a relaxing experience of the sea and coastline, both under motor and sail, with unrushed long anchoring at great locations to enjoy swimming, snorkelling and the boat. »

« Wow, what a day we spent aboard the sailboat with Stan, Emiliano, and Amandine, who took such good care of us all day. The program was a bit disrupted due to some unpredictable weather, but Stan managed to bring back the sunshine, and the day was perfect. The meal prepared by Emiliano was wonderful. The swimming spots were magnificent. I highly recommend it. Go without hesitation. And the group we spent the day with was perfect; we made some wonderful new friends. Melanie from Lyon »

Meet the crewCommon questions about our cruises
The Agriates day trip remains our signature cruise — Cap Corse cliffs, the Pigeon Caves, Lotu beach in the Agriates, lunch on board with Giacometi cuvée des Agriates wine. It is the most complete way to discover the region in a single day.
In July and August, book 3 to 6 weeks ahead if possible — our 10-guest limit fills quickly. In May, June, September and October, 1 to 2 weeks usually suffices. Last-minute spots can still open up due to cancellations.
Yes, children are welcome on board. We provide life jackets in all sizes. The daily pace suits families perfectly. Child fare €70 up to age 12 inclusive.
If sea conditions do not allow a safe and comfortable sailing, the skipper postpones to a later date or refunds in full. We always decide no later than the evening before.
None whatsoever. These are relaxed cruises, not sailing lessons. Our crew handles all manoeuvres. If you want to try your hand at the helm, Stan will happily let you take a turn under supervision.
