About Us -- Your Partners for Boat Trips in Propriano

Our story: born by the Valinco

It all started with the sea. Here in Propriano, the sea is not a backdrop -- it is a way of life. We grew up learning to read the winds, to recognise the currents, to find the most secret coves in the gulf. Every rock, every inlet, every anchorage -- we know them by name, by history, by the memories they hold.

This knowledge, handed down through generations of Valinco fishermen and sailors, is our greatest asset. It cannot be found in any guidebook or plotted on any chart. It is a living wisdom, forged from thousands of hours of navigation, observation and respect for the marine environment.

Our commitment: sharing the beauty of the Valinco

We created our boat trips with a simple conviction: the treasures of the Valinco Gulf deserve to be discovered in the best possible conditions. No factory-pace schedules, no overcrowded boats, no tightly timed circuits. Every outing is designed as a unique experience, adapted to the day's conditions and to our passengers' wishes.

Our philosophy rests on three pillars:

• Safety first: we sail boats maintained to the highest standards and equipped with all required safety gear. Our navigation decisions are always driven by real weather conditions, never by commercial pressure.
• Environmental responsibility: the Valinco Gulf is a fragile and precious ecosystem. We practise responsible boating with eco-moorings, we raise our passengers' awareness of the fragility of the seabed, and we maintain a strict zero-waste policy on board.
• Authentic experiences: we do not sell a standardised tourist product. Every trip is narrated with passion, enriched with local anecdotes, insights into the wildlife and flora, and a genuine love for this corner of the world.

Our expertise: the sea is our profession

Our team has years of professional sailing experience in the Valinco Gulf. Every crew member holds the licences and qualifications required for commercial navigation. But beyond the certificates, it is the daily practice of these waters that makes the difference.

We know the habits of the dolphins that visit the gulf between June and September. We know where to find the most spectacular underwater scenery for snorkelling. We anticipate weather changes by reading natural signs, backed up by modern forecasting tools. This expertise translates into trips that make the absolute most of each day's conditions.

What we offer

Our boat trips cover the full length of the Valinco Gulf and beyond:

• The wild calanques between Campomoro and Senetosa
• Sea caves sculpted by the waves
• Secret coves inaccessible by road
• The Senetosa lighthouse and the southern Valinco coast
• Genoese watchtowers viewed from the sea
• The best snorkelling and swimming spots

Every trip includes swimming stops, snorkelling equipment, commentary on wildlife, plants and local history, and refreshing drinks on board. We offer formats for all tastes and budgets, from a 2-hour sunset cruise to a full day of exploration.

Our values

Closeness and transparency

We are not an anonymous travel agency. When you book with us, you deal directly with the people who will be on board. No middleman, no call centre, no surprises. Our prices are clear, our cancellation terms are fair, and our communication is straightforward and honest.

Excellence and humility

We strive for excellence in every detail: the cleanliness of the boat, the quality of the equipment, the depth of the commentary, the warmth of the welcome. But we remain humble in the face of the sea and nature. We know the spectacle belongs to the Valinco Gulf, not to us. Our role is simply to take you there in the best possible conditions.

Local roots

We live in Propriano year-round. We employ local craftspeople and suppliers. We play an active part in the life of our community and in preserving the maritime heritage of the Valinco. Choosing our boat trips means supporting a local and responsible economy.
