Sail to Corsica—without a plane or a car—from the Old Port of Saint-Raphaël.
Sailcoop is a passenger sailing cooperative. It operates the first regular sailing route between the mainland and Corsica, from Saint-Raphaël to Calvi.
The crossing takes about 18 to 20 hours, depending on the wind, aboard two 15-meter sailboats, the Belle Aventure and the Awake. Each sailboat accommodates 8 passengers, supervised by 2 professional skippers. Sunset and sunrise at sea, a night aboard, and dolphins often in sight: the journey itself is already part of the vacation.
The Saint-Raphaël train station is just a few minutes’ walk from the port: you can arrive by train, board the ship, and disembark in Calvi, which is connected to the Corsican rail network.
Two bicycles can be brought on board for each crossing.
Carbon footprint: approximately 16 kg of CO₂ per passenger, 5 to 10 times less than by plane or ferry.
