    • Interîles Company: AN AUTHENTIC MARITIME ADVENTURE

      Discovering the archipelago at sea

      The Interîles Company offers a unique maritime experience for exploring the surrounding islands. With a fleet perfectly suited for sea excursions, passengers are invited to discover the archipelago's stunning seascapes. The spacious and comfortable boats allow passengers to admire the coastline and surrounding islands while enjoying the fresh air. These cruises are accessible to a wide range of travelers, from families and couples to groups of friends.

      The excursions are designed to allow everyone to fully enjoy the region's natural beauty without being too long or tiring. During the crossing, passengers can spot a rich marine wildlife, including dolphins, seabirds, and sometimes even whales. Each cruise offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in a pristine natural setting, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.


      Islands to visit during the cruise

      The islands visited on cruises vary depending on the season and weather conditions, but they all possess a unique charm. Some islands are famous for their fine sandy beaches, ideal for a swim, while others captivate with their secluded coves and rocky landscapes. Exploring the islands also provides a deeper understanding of local history, shaped by centuries of island life and maritime trade.

      Passengers can stop at one of the islands for a short walk or simply admire the steep cliffs and typical vegetation of the region from the boat. Nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of plant species that inhabit these islands, as well as the serene atmosphere that prevails.


      Onboard services and comfort

      On board the Compagnie Interîles boats, passengers enjoy all the necessary comforts to make the most of their excursion. Shaded areas provide protection from the sun, while open viewing areas are available for those who wish to take photos or simply admire the scenery. The boats are also equipped with restrooms and comfortable seating.

      The excursions are led by experienced sailors who ensure passenger safety throughout the journey. In addition, some boats offer audio commentary to help visitors better understand the geography and history of the places visited. Private cruises can also be booked for special events, such as weddings or birthdays, providing a truly personalized experience.


      Food and refreshment options

      Some cruises offer light meals on board, featuring local and seasonal products. You can enjoy a picnic basket filled with seafood, cheeses, or pastries while sailing the seas. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are also available, ensuring every moment of the cruise is pleasant and relaxing.

      For those who prefer, it's also possible to bring your own picnic, allowing for an even more personalized experience. In any case, the cruises are organized to ensure a relaxing break throughout the journey, with moments dedicated to contemplation or conversation among passengers.


      Discoveries in the surrounding area within a 30 km radius

      Within a 30 km radius of the Interîles ferry departure point, numerous opportunities for exploration await visitors. Hiking enthusiasts will be delighted by the many coastal trails offering magnificent views of the sea and the islands. Among the most popular hikes is the one leading to the tip of Cap Corse, offering a breathtaking panorama of the ocean.

      The region's villages, with their local markets, are also worth exploring. Every week, small producers offer fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, and seafood. The charming village of Port-au-Loup, located about 20 kilometers away, is renowned for its craft market and picturesque streets. Visitors can also stop at the Belle-Rive River, ideal for a picnic or a swim.

      The surrounding coastal towns offer a rich historical heritage, with monuments dating back several centuries, such as fortified churches and the remains of maritime fortifications. Finally, for those who prefer relaxation, some secluded beaches near the islands are accessible after a short walk or by car, allowing for rest away from the crowds.

      By combining cruises, hikes and visits to the surrounding area, the region is full of treasures to discover for all lovers of nature and the sea.
