License-free boating in Ajaccio: the local waters
The Gulf of Ajaccio suits licence-free boating well: wide, easy to read, with shelter on both shores. From the harbour or the Ricanto, a 6 hp boat crosses to the Porticcio beaches opposite (about a 3-mile passage) or follows the Sanguinaires road shoreline to Parata point, where most hire zones end — the islands themselves are admired from the boundary rather than rounded. To the south, Isolella point often marks the other limit.
Cross the gulf in the morning: a westerly breeze gets up almost every summer afternoon and makes the return leg wet, punching into the chop. Anchor off Porticcio in shallow water over sand, leave the 300-metre bathing band to swimmers and keep to 5 knots near the beaches.
