Sailing day charter in Calvi
with skipper
Christophe, the skipper, and his 40ft sailing vessel HIVA-OA IV, offer you an authentic experience at the rhythm of the sea. On each excursion, we strive to strike the perfect balance between the pleasures of sailing and moments spents at anchor.
Skippered day sailing cruises are open to everyone : families with children, groups of friends, solo travelers, couples, beginners and experienced sailors.
The boat is moored at the Calvi Marina, more precisely at Port Calellu, at the foot of the Citadel, alongside the café/restaurant terraces in the "fishermen's quarter".
Gulf of Calvi is unique local cruising area
No need to go far to find escape !
Calvi is one of Corsica's must-see destinations. From the sea, the character of the town of Calvi and its surrounding take on another dimension.
The advantage of sailing within a short distance of the departure point is that you can sail without any set distance or duration. Our goal is to fully enjoy life on the water, both under sail and at anchor infront of a beautiful cove or large beach.
Other possible destinations possibles : West face of Revellata, Nichjaretu, l'Argentella (Crovani Bay), Algajola, Marine de Davia, l'Ile Rousse et the Agriates Desert (departing from Ile Rousse)
Sea trips under the sign of simple pleasures and sharing
Small Group Excursions
The maximum number of passengers allowed is 10. To ensure maximum comfort, excluding private charters, I limit this number to 8 people, and 9 from 3 children under 12 years old on board.
As soon as you get on board, I invite you to "take over" the boat. The sailboat is yours for the duration of the excursion...Let's Enjoy!
Each sailing trip on the HIVA-OA IV sailboat is a unique experience.
The itinerary of the sailing excursion depends on the time you wish to spend at sea, sailing and/or at anchor, and the weather conditions.
Generally, sailing time on an excursion is 2 to 3.5 hours. The rest of the time is spent at anchor.
You are welcome to be an active crew in your sailing trip : casting off, taking the helm, hoisting the sails, and participating in the various maneuvers.
And all aboard, you'll experience the joys of sailing.
Time spent at anchor is relaxing and convivial. You can swim, snorkel, sunbathe on the teak deck, share a drink with your feet in the water, gather around the cockpit table for a meal or a drink, or take the time to do nothing special in a privileged environment...
Cruise Program :
The cruise takes place in the Gulf of Calvi and the surrounding area. We can also sail heading out to sea.
Daytime sailing trips : 3 - 5 - 7 hours
The 3-hour trip generally focuses on sailing. Ideally, we make a short swimming stop, a quiet break. The captain will offer you a drink. However, the fridge is available; you can help yourself upon boarding.
The 7-hour trip, offers 3 options, depending on weather conditions :
- Leave the Gulf of Calvi, heading south or east towards Algajola or Ile Rousse.
- Make the most of your time at anchor (only 1 stop)
- Make 2 stops at anchor between Calvi Beach, Spano, and The Revellata.
Lunch on board
During the hottest hours of summer, what could be better than being on a sailboat as close to the water as possible?!
The 5-hour trip, takes place exclusively in the Gulf of Calvi. The time spent sailing and at anchor is balanced.
Lunch on board.
Aperitif - Swimming - Sunset on Sailboat : 2 - 3 - 5 hours
The 2-hour trip is 100% dedicated to sailing.
The 3-hour trip gives us a little more "precious" time for more sailing, or time at anchor to stroll, swim, or share a drink.
The 5-hour trip is those who want to make the most of everything.
The finale of each sunset trip is the return to marina at nightfall. The approach is slow. You can admire the beautifully illuminated Citadel of Calvi.
And, finally, in a few minutes, we emerge from our tranquility on board to the bustle of the port's café and restaurant terraces...

On board, you are free to move around the available space. For example: on either side of the deck, at the front, or inside. While underway, if safety dictates (maneuvers, weather conditions), I will limit this space from time to time.
