boat hire in Bastia · Dufour — Dufour 32 Classic (1999)

We went on Michel’s boat for the day, he took us to beautiful beaches around corse. The boat was super clean, well maintained, and we enjoyed the small chats we had with him. My kids loved playing in the “small house” in the boat, and Michel was very attentive to our needs and such a pleasant boat owner to sail with. We were 4 but the boat can fit more, the deck area is pure joy for sun bathing lovers and the lunch time with drinks on the front deck is something to look forward to Highly recommend sailing with Michel and can’t wait to come back shins to curse and book the same boat with the same schedule Thank you Michel!.

We’ve had an amazing experience with Michel who shown us the surroundings of Bastia, took us for paddling, snorkeling and sailing on high sea. If we have come back, for sure we’ll use his services again.

We had a wonderful day at sea with Michel! He knows the coast, the sea, and his boat very well. He welcomed us warmly, he is friendly, and he took great care of all of us. We recommend him 100%

Thank you, Michel! We had a wonderful time as a family with Michel, who showed us the coves of Cap Corse. The weather was impeccable, as was Michel's positivity and smile!

A wonderful day for the whole family! Beautiful boat. Very friendly host! Everything was just as we hoped. We were able to enjoy the sun and the sea, and the kids did lots of snorkeling. We would definitely recommend Michel and the boat! Thank you!!!

A great day trip with Michel. There were seven of us, and it was perfect, in keeping with the very cordial exchanges with Michel beforehand. The skipper was attentive, knowledgeable, and very pleasant; we also had a great time. We highly recommend him. And if we have to do it again, it will be with Michel.

A fantastic walk along Cap Corse! We had a wonderful day with a very welcoming captain who showed us some beautiful places.

We had a wonderful day on Michel's boat. It was our first experience, and it went very well. Michel knows the coast very well. He even taught us some of the basics of sailing. Michel is very friendly, kind, curious, and reliable. He knows how to adapt to his clients. Thank you. We highly recommend him and will not hesitate to return to him if we return to Bastia.

We had a wonderful day with Michel. He is an absolutely adorable skipper, full of kindness. We discovered magnificent places. We were able to enjoy several swimming stops. With a very smooth navigation, which allowed us to enjoy the sumptuous landscapes and share moments and anecdotes with Michel. We shared a perfect day!

We had a wonderful trip along Cap Corse. The communication beforehand was perfect, and we found the meeting point and the boat without any problems. Michel welcomed us very warmly and took us to three truly wonderful spots for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. We learned a lot about Corsica from him, and he gave us transparent and expert suggestions on how to make the most of our weather conditions (barely any wind). Thank you so much, Michel! We'd love to come back and highly recommend a tour with you!

A wonderful day, thanks in large part to Michèle, who took such great care of us. If paradise exists, I can assure you that a day on this boat will be just like it. We recommend it 100%.

A birthday day spent aboard Ourasi, Michel's sailboat. The captain is passionate about the sea and boats and shares his passion without restraint. A great captain who carefully considers every word and every silence to ensure we get the most out of the experience. An unforgettable moment in an incredible setting with an extremely engaging captain! Thank you so much, Michel, for these magical moments, and see you soon!

A wonderful trip out to sea with Michel, who adapts each trip according to the wishes of the clients and the weather conditions. Thank you for your humor too, we had a memorable day!

We thank Michel for his welcome, his sympathy, his friendliness. He is passionate and shares his knowledge with us. A very nice experience. His boat is well maintained, clean and functional. He showed us part of Cap Corse. It is magnificent, I highly recommend it.

A very beautiful and gentle ride aboard the Ourasi! Michel is a very professional captain; we truly felt safe with him. He gave us a warm welcome and took us to some heavenly places (turquoise water, beautiful fish, the seabed, etc.). It was truly a great day. Thank you, Captain Michel! Jeanne (6 years old), Gustave (4 years old), Louise, and Guillaume

We had a wonderful day with Michel. He is caring, kind, and patient. The ride was great. The boat is comfortable, with plenty of shade for those who don't want to stay in the sun. We put our sandwiches, fruit, and drinks in his fridge. We recommend him 100%. The boat is in the old port of Bastia. On his instructions, we parked in the citadel parking lot. Thank you, Michel, for the great time we spent with you. See you soon if we return to Bastia.

We had a great day with Michel on a superb boat! Michel is very attentive, professional, and very pleasant! I highly recommend ++! We will be back with great pleasure! THANK YOU :)

A great day, Michel takes great care of his crew. We took the helm thanks to Michel's valuable advice. We recommend it for everyone, with family or friends.

Very nice skipper and beautiful tour along the coast with 3 opportunities to go swimming. We had a lot of fun!

Frankly, nothing to complain about our outing with Michel. Everything was perfect from the start to the return to Bastia. Don't hesitate to ask for the Paddle. A superb day enjoyed by our children and ourselves. Thanks again Michel and maybe see you soon for a new outing. Frank

Very nice walk and well organized program Thank you

My husband and I had booked for Monday 19th August but the weather was very bad and Michael moved us the day, we did it on Wednesday 21st, we are very happy with Michael we had a lot of fun and he took us to two beautiful places, too bad there wasn't much wind to open the sail but we were very lucky the weather was beautiful. Michael super organized and very professional. I will go back soon with all my family I promise ??

Thanks again Michel for this wonderful day, we loved it! Book with your eyes closed because Michel is very friendly and attentive, an atypical character full of anecdotes, we had a good laugh. In short, I recommend Michel to ?

Very friendly and reliable captain. The tour was varied and the swimming stops were great. It was a very nice boat tour.

Very nice day on board with Michel. We went around Cap Corse with several stops for swimming. The boat is as shown in the photos and very clean. Thank you

A day as friendly and magical as the captain of the boat. A big thank you again to Michel

Very nice ride, discovery of sailing despite very calm wind conditions. Michel is interested in explaining sailing and how the boat works. Very nice experience.

We had a perfect day with Michel with 3 people! Very nice contact, blue sea, swimming stops. Keep it up! We recommend booking with Michel. Top service!

We had an incredible day sailing with Michel! Michel was a fantastic captain. Thanks to Michel. ⛵️??‍♀️☀️

We had a great day with Michel! Great welcome, great navigation, lots of swimming. Thank you Michel we will come back!

Super welcome, a golden person, conviviality and sharing, getaway and stopovers at magnificent spots young and old will not be on it, we highly recommend Michel you can build with him a walk at your convenience for an unforgettable moment.

A superb day in the company of Michel who is very friendly and attentive! Very pleasant with both children and pets ? We recommend!! Thanks again Michel for this walk ?

We spent a very good day aboard Michel's sailboat with our 2 children. We were able to discover the Corsican cape and swim with the fish. I recommend Michel ?

Beautiful day in which we have been able to enjoy time to dive, sail and learn a lot thanks to Michel. It has been an intense day, with many emotions that we will not forget. Impeccable quality-price.

We spent 3 magnificent days as a couple accompanied by Michel on his boat around the Corsican cape and the small Italian island of Capraia. Michel is super nice and very charming. He did everything possible to make the trip pleasant for us. We were able to set sail for a good part of the trip, a treat! On the boat it’s freedom, escape, and total disconnection. Very clean boat, Michel pampers it like his baby. At night the comfort is rudimentary as you would expect on a boat of this size but it is a small price to pay for the pleasure of waking up in port and having breakfast on the boat. Thank you Michel for these unforgettable moments.

Michel is very outgoing, friendly and professional, with whom it is pleasant to sail! THANKS!

A beautiful day to discover Cap Corse. Thank you Michael

Michel was extra friendly and kind A great skipper

We had a great time with the family thanks to Michel. ?

Michael was really great! You immediately feel at ease on the boat. Michel stops at all the nice places to swim. Highly recommended, especially for that price!

We had a great day on the sailboat. Michel is a natural captain who likes to share his passion. His good humor is communicative and we feel "like at home". Looking forward to repeating this experience.

A very big THANK YOU to Michel for everything he has done for Maxence and his family. We have been in contact for several months in order to organize everything as well as possible for Maxence's wishes (for the record, I had contacted him from the Make-A-Wish association, it is a non-profit organization that fulfills the wishes of seriously ill children). Michel was immediately super responsive to my request and was ready to do his best to make Maxence's dream come true: "I dream of sleeping on a boat with my family". They had a wonderful stay with Michel! Between picnics at sea, swimming, sailing to small villages, afternoons at the beach, nights in ports, sailing,... They are not ready to forget this stay of dream ! Thank you once again to Michel for everything he has done to help us make this dream come true! I highly recommend him and wish you a good stay on his sailboat! Roxane Henry from the association Make-A-Wish Belgium South

Superb ride with a benevolent and available skipper Michel. We enjoyed ourselves as a family.

To say sympathetic and kind would be an understatement to michel who made me and my girlfriend Francesca spend a really wonderful day greetings to michel, highly recommended

Michel is very kind, thoughtful and accommodating. We had a nice bathing day! Thanks a lot for this !

Thank you Michel for the beautiful walk and the friendly discussions. A good time spent at sea!

It is a pleasure to spend a day sailing with Michel. Benevolent, full of humor, he ideally completes his boat for the pleasure of young and old. Do not hesitate to contact him, it is the guarantee of a very pleasant day.

Great day as described. The weather was there, so it allowed us to sail by explaining ourselves and making us participate. Thank you Michael for this day

Nice trip with a very nice skipper. Very communicative, across language barriers, and that is always meant in a positive way. Thank you Beaucoup, Michel!

Pleasant day despite the wind, we had a good time.

Great day spent with a great skipper! We all had a great day, only good memories ? Michel is really very nice, no complaints, keep your eyes closed ? Thank you very much Michelle! ?⛵️☀️

Very pleasant sea trip, we were able to snorkel on a very calm sea. Michel was attentive to our needs (protected us from the sun, gave us a little sailing lesson, helped us recognize the fish we had seen thanks to a little book). In short Michel is very attentive :) Very good memory :)

Michel is very pleasant, pedagogue and accommodating. Despite the relative bad weather, he was able to find a solution to please everyone. Thanks to him and good luck.

Strong winds for navigation, the day ended at 2:30 p.m. which may displease some, but safety is a priority. Michel is a character with a strong character with whom you have to deal.

Let yourself embark with confidence aboard the Ourasi! Michel is an exceptional skipper! Book without hesitation ;)

Thank you Michel for this beautiful adventure

Thank you Michel for this incredible day. Thanks to his knowledge of the sector, we were able to discover the superb landscapes of Corsica, on a comfortable sailboat. The sector where we hit the ink at noon is just incredible!!! Sumptuous landscape and sea of incredible clarity!!! Ready to leave with Michel, without hesitation…

Micheal is very kind, ready to take you anywhere, a beautiful clean and comfortable boat, the number 1

We spent 3 days aboard the Ourasi (name of the sailboat coming from a famous racehorse from the 80s) with two children aged 9 and 10. Michel was very attentive to this first navigation at sea for each of us, with advice taking children into account and leaving the final choice to us. Given the difficult sea and wind conditions, we chose to sleep in the Old Port of Bastia, which was an interesting solution for the children. The wind conditions are not often ideal in Bastia, we were unable to set the sails but sailed along the Cap Corse and on the large forgotten beaches of fine sand south of Bastia which we recommend, even if they are less publicized. AND .... on the way back we saw dolphins, one of which accompanied us a little, a dream for children. Michel was as happy as we were for them! Michel is a man of heart, with whom we can talk about everything, life, Corsica, Bastia, sailing. We recommend the experience!

Michel is an outstanding captain who knows how to put you at ease with his humor and his experience of navigation at sea. We had an excellent time in his company. The boat trip allowed us to discover wonderful swimming spots. The waters are translucent and warm...a treat! Thanks to Michel for this magical moment!

Excellent day spent on board the boat and in contact with Michel. Very welcoming and attentive, Michel was a very caring host for us. I highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful day thanks to Michel. A very beautiful route that allowed us to discover beautiful beaches and coves in the region of Bastia and Cap Corse: a beautiful region with a wild side. Thank you very much for this day!

Thank you for this great day and these superb impressions.

Michel was really a great captain! He took us from Bastia to Cap Corse with several swims in different places, each more beautiful than the next. He listened from start to finish. Michel really blew us away! Thank you so much

Very nice day on Ourasi with Michel Very nice boat and attentive skipper I recommend without hesitation

Thank you Michel for this pleasant day, we enjoyed discovering the coasts of Cap Corse as well as these nice dives in these small idyllic corners. Beautiful summer ?

A big thank you to Michel for a wonderful day at sea aboard a sailboat! We will be happy to do it again next year.

To whom will read it ....Michel is brilliant! We immediately liked it. but not that... he is also attentive, stays tuned. He knows how to be a teacher. OK, I don't know how to steer very well, but I'm learning. He is very funny. He knows how to give us time and bring us to beautiful sites to dive. I learned a lot about the surrounding islands and this beautiful Corsica. Thank you Michael Step. Eric. Thomas. Anais

Michel the owner of the boat made us discover the coasts of Cap Corse. Very affable and interesting. We were able to do some sailing as the wind picked up.

Very nice day with Michel despite the swell!! Michel is very friendly and did his best to make sure we had a good day. thanks to him

Despite a wind and a sea that did not allow us to hoist the sails, we were very well received and taken care of by Michel who made us discover the coast on a beautiful part of Cap Corse. A very nice experience in a very nice place!

Decent boat tour and good facility based on cost. Michel was attentive and attentive to our wishes. Free in terms of choice of music and beautiful souvenir photos. We were going slowly but we were able to rest thanks to the silent engine. On the other hand, the beaches of Bastia are not particularly worth the detour.

Michel is a very warm, humane person who will take your desires into account. If you want to enjoy superb walks, you have found your captain. Once again, a big thank you to Michel for this wonderful day.

Excellent day spent on board "OURASI" this Sunday Skipper on top and attentive to passengers Very very nice walk at sea with several anchorages to better appreciate swimming ??

Michel was a perfect host. Thanks to him we were able to discover the east coast of Cap Corse as we had not yet had the opportunity to see it. We had the opportunity three times to see dolphins. They even accompanied us for a few meters. Thanks to Michel we had the opportunity to discover sailing, it was a first and very nice experience for each of us. We strongly recommend Michel and we ourselves will not hesitate to call on him again.

We had a very pleasant day with a very nice skipper! Thank you Michael

Perfect little three-day stay in Capraia, thank you Michel for this great experience!

Michel is a very personable & funny skipper, with whom the time on the boat was extremely pleasant and private. He catered to all of our requests and we had a great day. Anytime gladly again, even for a multi-day trip. Heidi & Claus, Fabian, Manuela & Clara from Nuremberg

We had a great day on Michel's boat. The moorings for swimming were well chosen, it was a very nice day with our 3 children (9/7 and 4 years old) who loved it

Great ride, thank you Michel!

We spent a very pleasant day with Michel and his boat. The welcome was very friendly and the discovery of the coast and its splendid beaches from a sailboat is a great experience (especially for children). The weather was also magnificent ... too bad there was not enough wind to live the experience of a sailing boat.

Michel listens to our desires and does everything to achieve them!! He answers very quickly to the various questions before the meeting and during the meeting it is a charming man who welcomes you! Helpfulness, thoughtfulness, kindness and humor characterize Michel! Even if everything did not go as we had hoped because of the weather, Michel was able to adapt and make us spend 2 beautiful days!! I recommend !

A discovery, humor, a humble person, a cocktail of good humor and casting off for 2 days of adventures with a great captain named Michel. A big thank you for having made us discover your universe and for having pushed as far as possible to reach the end of the course. From Charly these few words out of the mouth of a 10 year old child "thank you for bringing us happiness and cool to sail with you and promise, next time I'll let you hang on top of the mast ? »

Very nice day with Michel, the Marseilles from Bastia, nice, interesting, competent, a pleasure and a beautiful memory ?? Must do! Caroline, Laura and Xavier

Very warm welcome from Michel. Top day. Thanks !

We had a wonderful day aboard Michel's boat! We keep his contact details to be able to take other walks/getaways later in our stay or during a future trip to Corsica. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family! Thanks !

Memorable day with Michel! Excellent release! Home could not be more friendly!

Four days of navigation at 4 between Bastia and the Italian islands of Capraia and Elba, thanks to Michel for allowing us to discover this pearl of the region that is Capraia in complete safety A disappointment due to excessive use of the motor when our wish was to practice sailing, but the weather on certain days and Michel's unusual, even intense attachment to motor navigation did not allow us to fulfill our wish. On-board comfort would have been advantageously improved by optimized storage of the lockers and cabins (the forward cabin, very well photographed and highlighted in the photos accompanying the advertisement, was inaccessible during the entire stay due to congestion maximum, and the few cupboards and lockers were also full of the owner's personal items). The general cleanliness of the boat was remarkable, especially the toilets, and therefore a big thank you to Michel for his talents and the efforts he has made, despite all the difficulties and the more than capricious or even very unfavorable weather, in order to make our unforgettable stay.

Sunny and very pleasant day with Michel, who is very attentive to the needs of his passengers.

Thank you Michel for this wonderful day!!!

Boat trip with Michel who is a very good navigator. We had a great time in his company with four children who bathed safely. Very friendly Michel is attentive and he knows how to put his boaters at ease. Thank you Michel for this beautiful sunny day on heavenly water!

Thank you for this wonderful day spent with family. Michel is 1 brilliant captain with whom we discovered part of the island from other angles Highly recommend Thank you again for this beautiful day

Thank you Michel you assured Michel is very reassuring before the day in his messages. We were 4 adults and 5 children including 1 baby and the day was exceptional both for the magnificent weather, the translucent sea and for the dives with the children in marvelous little coves. Thank you for this very beautiful day, and Gabin adds "HA BABA"

Very nice day with Michel and his boat. Beautiful turquoise water landscape. Met friendly and pleasant. We recommend you.

Our excursion with Michel was a great experience. It was only our second time on a sailboat. We were more into sailing than snorkeling or sunbathing. Michel quickly recognized this and introduced us to the world of sailing! An unforgettable great day :) Manuel & Ann

Thank you Michel for this beautiful day Unforgettable for valerie's birthday We will recommend you Kenavo

Great day with Michel, very attentive to his guests and always a joke. Thank you Michael

Beautiful day of navigation, our captain ?‍✈️ Michel met all our expectations: skills, flexibility, sympathy and kindness. I recommend it to everyone, eyes closed. Vincent.

Thank you Michel for this outing with your sailboat. The whole gang had a great time along the coast even if the weather was not at the meeting!

Thank you very much great walk very nice discovery person listening and taking care. we had a pleasant day.

Thank you very much Michel for this wonderful day at sea. Michel is a very nice person who knows the sea and his boats perfectly. Very available and attentive to our desires, he made us have a great day. I recommend anyone who wants to get away for a day to come and do it with him. Thank you a thousand times and I hope to see you next year for a weekend at sea.

Generosity, availability and good humor are juxtaposed throughout this short stay with Michel. We could add his knowledge of the region and the vagaries of the wind... which have been verified in the field. A stay full of very good memories.

Great boat trip with Michel. Perfect for a family outing to discover the coasts of Cap Corse, and swimming in the transparent water! We will be back next year! Michel is very welcoming, warm and friendly!

A great day, thank you for this moment of sharing and your good mood. Looking forward to meeting you next time.

Michel is a pleasant captain who knows the area well and is flexible. He showed us Cap Corse.

Michel is a good sailor and the cruise went well. Over three days / two nights, we joined the island of Elba from Bastia. I recommend. Thanks !

Thank you Michel for this great day. Thanks to you we were able to discover the pleasures of sailing and you always answered our questions despite the little wind. I recommend Michel for his hospitality, his kindness and his Marseille-Corsican accent. Hope to see you. jean-fabien

Great crossing, Michel at the top.

Nice walk with Michel. The dolphins at the rendezvous as a bonus!

Thank you Michel for this great experience and for helping me organize this surprise ride for my friends. I particularly liked your contact and your humor :) I wish you a very nice summer! Hasta pronto!

Thank you Michel for this pleasant day. You were very patient in answering my incessant questions. Thanks to you we were able to discover the pleasures of sailing. You knew how to be very vigilant for our well-being, because of a very rough sea. We also had a great time with you and your friends. We will not fail to recommend you on occasion. Cordially Adrian and Emma

We had a wonderful day on the banks of the Ourasi. Michel is very friendly and will adapt to your desires. I highly recommend this boat trip. Thank you Michael for this day.

Michel was very good at taking us on a 4 day tour in the Tuscan archipelago, we saw so many places! Merci Michel!

Very nice day, a very pleasant moment of sharing with the most Corsican of the Marseillais! A la bonne franquette... thank you Michel!

Our trip was cut short due to the weather conditions and a sick passenger, but Michel is a very nice captain and his sailboat is fine for the day.

Excellent day with Michel. Michel gave us a superb outing at sea with an introduction to sailing at the same time. I admit that without him we wouldn't have gone very far (nor come back for that matter :-D). Very relaxed atmosphere, warm welcome, a picnic on board helped by very cold drinks in the fridge of the boat. A very nice holiday memory. Thank you Michael!

We were very kindly welcomed by Capiltaine Michel, he made us discover a part of this magnificent corner of Corsica. He was very caring with us, very kind, and he met all our expectations. I highly recommend this Captain who also has a lot of humor!

We had a wonderful day out with Michel! He was friendly and welcoming, and very responsive when communicating ahead of time to plan the trip, especially with advice about selecting the best day for our trip. We had a full day out on the water exploring the Cape Corse, full of swimming, sunshine and a bit of sailing at the end. All in all a great day and would highly recommend Michel! Merci et à bientôt!

If we could have given Michel a sixth star, we would have given it. The sympathy, the welcome, the little attentions and the pedagogy of Michel made this day unforgettable for the 6 of us. We obviously highly recommend Michel (and his boat of course). See you soon on the waves! :-)

Wonderful captain and boat! My Wife and I joined Michele for a cruise to Capraia where we spent one night before returning to Bastia. We had a wonderful time! Capraia is beautiful. Michele is a very good and knowledgeable captain. His sailboat, Ourasi, is an excellent and comfortable yacht. Whether it's a day trip or a multi-day cruise, I would recommend Michele and Ourasi to anyone. Wonderful captain and boat!

Many thanks to Michel, humorous skipper, for his warm welcome and for having offered us a nice trip off Bastia. His recommendation to visit Capraia was excellent. We really liked this charming little Italian port. Ballad to redo

We had a day on the water which went really well! With Michel good mood is at the rendezvous and it only enhances the experience. The boat is very pretty and comfortable. Luckily there was a bit of wind, so we could hoist the sails and enjoy a sailing course. I recommend Michel, for the value for money unbeatable unbeatable on bastia he offers but especially for its hospitality and flexibility! Thanks again for everything and surely next year Mimi
