Sailing in Saint Florent
Sail safely and serenely.
Safety at sea is everyone's business. For a successful experience, here are the rules to follow:
Before leaving the port:
- Together we tour the boat and take stock of the situation.
- Pay attention to the advice of the Corsica Nautic team.
- Check the condition of the propeller and the base of your engine.
- Take photos of the boat, note the number of cushions and make sure they are securely attached.
- Check the fuel level.
You leave the port:
- Respect the speed limit of 3 knots to the harbour exit, then 5 knots to the red marking (port side) 300 metres past the harbour.
You are in the sea:
- It is forbidden to sail with the awning unfolded. And don't hang on to it when getting back on the boat (twisted sun rate = 500 euros charged).
- You are responsible for everyone on board: check that child under ten are wearing their lifejackets.
- Lifejackets and safety equipment are stored in one of the lockers.
- To avoid accidents, do not sail along the sea within 300 metres of the coastline.
You are approaching the beaches:
- Reduce your speed gradually.
- Are you dragging a buoy, water skis or a wakeboard? You must signal with an orange flame. It is also strictly forbidden to drag within 300 metres of the coast.
You are at anchor:
- Il est interdit de « beacher » directement les bateaux sur le sable.
- You should always anchor with your back to the beach.
- Be careful not to interfere with other boaters, and check that no visible rocks are nearby.
- Check that the depth under the boat is at least 1 meter.
- After dropping the anchor with a length of chain twice the size of the boat, backtrack a little to tighten the chain and anchor yourself properly in the sand.
- Before leaving the boat, check its balance.
Before 4 p.m.:
- Please text or call us before you return to the port, which should be no later than 6 pm.
- Fill up with petrol before returning the boat and keep the receipt.
Do you have a question when you are at sea or on the beach? Don't hesitate to call us.
