What I was looking for: To spend an afternoon learning about the history and nature of a beautiful and fascinating part of the world with the wind in my hair and sun on my back. What I experienced: Allocated a seat on the centre left inside a slightly crowded tour (looked close to full capacity, which seems intentional to economise as I received a request to reschedule from my original booking date). This meant for the first 90 mins my view was sea, a window strut, 3 rocks and other passenger's heads. The right hand side had a great view to begin with and those allocated one of about 20 outside seats had the best views throughout. I was bored and felt claustrophobic. Advertised as an English speaking tour, any language speakers other than French were given a QR code to self-serve, (but essential info was communicated well by the host, e.g. return times). I have no doubts that sitting outside would have got me halfway to what I wanted though, as others sitting outside seemed to love it. Had I realised this would be my experience, I would have refused to board and looked for an alternative. Given two stars, due to decent organisation, easy to find with free parking, good welcome and the potential if given preferred seating.

Perfect excursion, with Yoann. Which, as a bonus, gave my son an unforgettable experience, by having him take control of the boat. Magical moment, with breathtaking images. We chose the best team 👍!

Excellent ride this Sunday with magnificent weather. We were amazed with very clear explanations from the captain. The good humor and smile of Joseph Marin and son of the captain accompanied us throughout this walk 😊. An afternoon that I highly recommend. Don't hesitate, it's worth it. Have a good season. Vincent and Vanessa

Superb excursion with Croisières Grand Bleu to discover the Corsican coastline. Very nice guide (Yoann): very accessible, mastery of his subject, fluidity of explanations and the walk,…. Weather not perfect explaining the postponement of one day of the excursion. The organization upstream was very efficient (delay of the exit, telephone response, etc.) and warm. I recommend ++++ PS: take a good down jacket for the excursion, the offshore wind is very cool in April (Croisières Grand Bleu lends one if needed)!
