Pierce the turquoise Gulf of Ajaccio aboard a private speedboat to the wild Sanguinaires archipelago and the legendary Calanques de Piana — Corsica's most jaw-dropping seascape. This is the definitive coastal experience, seen as nature intended: from the water.
What to expect
Depart Ajaccio harbour and race past the Sanguinaires archipelago's rust-red granite towers, stopping for a swim in an isolated turquoise cove. The speedboat then powers north toward the rose-pink cliffs of the Calanques de Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Your guide narrates Corsican geology, legend, and marine life as osprey wheel overhead. The return leg skirts the Citadel and the Tino Rossi waterfront — the full panorama of Ajaccio seen from the sea.
Good to know
Departures typically from the Vieux Port (Ajaccio port), steps from the cruise pier. Full-day tours run 6–7 hours; half-day options available. Pre-book directly with Ajaccio Vision as summer slots fill weeks in advance. Confirm all-aboard time and allow 30 min buffer.
