What kind of boat should I rent in Ajaccio?

Rigid-hulled inflatable boats and open boats, with or without a skipper

For an exhilarating boating experience in the heart of the Gulf, our sporty RIBs and open boats, ranging from 6 to 17 meters in length, make it easy to explore the coastline around Ajaccio.

Fast and comfortable, our boats are the perfect way to get away from it all, whether you’re heading to the coves of the Isolella Peninsula or stopping at various charming coastal hotels along the way.

This type of boat allows you to slip into secluded coves where larger vessels cannot venture.

Depending on the model, you’re free to take the helm for a self-guided cruise along the route of your choice.

Yacht with crew

Experience a moment of pure relaxation aboard our luxury yachts.

On our boats, the Gulf of Ajaccio becomes your private lounge. Surrounded by a professional crew—including a captain, hostesses, and a chef—you’ll enjoy a unique, first-class experience.

During your cruise, you can explore the rugged coastline of the Taravo or head up to the calanques of Piana. The yacht offers you the luxury of being on the move.

Between swims, our boats offer state-of-the-art amenities (stabilizers, air conditioning, full connectivity) and recreational equipment (paddleboards, jet skis, wakeboards).

Your only task: to enjoy this special moment.
