THE COMPANY OF REFERENCE FOR A BOAT EXCURSION IN SAINT FLORENT

30 years of history & excursions

A true institution of the Island of Beauty, the Popeye has been sailing on the waves of the Mediterranean sea to the natural wonders of the Agriate desert since 1991.

Its founder, Jean-François Meï a Saint-Florent native, has known the gulf since his most tender youth and likes to share its history during boat trips from Saint Florent.

 

“I was on board for 18 years, and even though today it is no longer me who takes visitors out to sea, my whole team is as driven as I am by the love for our region”

Our Values

BOAT EXCURSIONS FROM SAINT FLORENT WITH IDEALS

Human & ecological values

The territory of the Agriate desert is one of those wild beauties that it is important to preserve.

One of the rare stretches of land still un-altered by human influence.

Classified as a protected area of flora and fauna interest, the coastal conservatory keeps an eye out for the beaches and the Popeye crew likes to protect and pamper them through small daily gestures.

Fervent enthusiasts of ecological and sustainable tourism, these professionals of boat excursions share their knowledge and give out advice to take care of the beaches and leave only the imprints of their footsteps on this sandy sanctuary.

The Agriate Desert

PROTECTED NATURAL SITE

A boat excursion from Saint-Florent through the Agriate desert

The largest natural site protected by the coastal conservatory, the Agriate desert offers 15.000 ha of wild land and over 35km of sea-sculpted coastline. Wilderness, immensity, the Agriate is a landscape of character, a mysterious environment comprised of the largest population of bottlenose dolphins in Corsica. The Agriate desert was a nourishing land for many centuries and was inhabited by breeders and farmers from the Cap Corse and close surrounding regions. It is today home to the famous Lotu & Saleccia beaches. The Popeye allows you to discover this exceptional, colorful site as well as its memorable beaches aboard a boat trip from Saint Florent.

Merci

To all those who have supported us,
We delayed writing these words, but we needed time to process what happened to us and to regain the strength to look forward again.

Words are not enough to express our gratitude for the immense wave of support we received after these criminal acts that destroyed our boats three times.

For 35 years, my father has built far more than a business: he has created memories, forged bonds, and shared his passion for this sea and these beaches that we love so much. The Popeye and the Saleccia were not just boats; they were part of our soul, our family story and that of Saint-Florent.

When I was a child, I used to go on board with him, and I grew up with the dream of one day taking over this activity that makes our hearts beat. Today, that dream has been hit hard, but it is not dead.

To those who tried to force us to give up by destroying our working tool and 35 years of hard work: you have not won. The Popeye will not close its doors. We will not let acts of cowardice erase decades of passion and dedication.

I am taking over the activity, admittedly in a more modest way, by offering boat trips at sea.
We are starting again, with the same desire to share our love of Corsica, the Mediterranean, Lotu and Saleccia.
We will keep you informed about the relaunch and we look forward to welcoming you back on board.

To all those who wrote to us, supported us, and encouraged us: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your messages gave us the strength to rise again. You are proof that solidarity and love for our land are stronger than hatred.

Forever Le Popeye 🖤

Thank you for being there. We are waiting for you on board.
