Under a radiant Corsican sun, we set sail on August 14, 2025, for an afternoon we will never forget. Our companions for this adventure: the powerful Mirage Sting 700 Weekender, equipped with a 200 hp engine that cut through the azure waters with ease, and the best captain we could have dreamed of, Emanuel, a native of the island.
From the very first moment, Emanuel shared the charm of his island with us. His steady hand at the helm, his knowledge of the wind, currents, and tides, and his warm smile immediately put us at ease.
We sailed along the magnificent coast, stopping at hidden coves where the water was so clear we could count the fish beneath our feet. Mask and snorkel in place, and the marvelous underwater world of Corsica revealed itself to us in all its splendor.
Mid-afternoon, a delicious snack awaited us: melting Corsican cheeses, thin slices of charcuterie, juicy tomatoes, and silky olive oil. Pure and generous flavors, in perfect harmony with the gentle lapping of the sea and the sun on our skin.
Emanuel told us the history of the coast and the surrounding area. His words brought to life the Torra di Mortella, the ancient defense tower that still proudly watches over the bay of Saint-Florent. Thanks to his explanations, we not only saw stones, but also felt the soul and past of this island.
Time flew by, and all too quickly we had to head back to the port. With heads full of memories, hearts filled with gratitude, and a deep respect for the sea and for the man who guided us there, we said goodbye.
Emanuel, we wish you and your family all the best and many blessings.
Thank you for this wonderful day, for your expertise, your welcome, and your stories.
We loved it and are already looking forward to the next time.
