Children of Calvi, guides of the sea.

GIRU Mare was born from a deep connection to Calvi, its crystal-clear waters, and this coastline shaped by wind and sea for thousands of years.
More than an activity, it is a way of life — living with the sea, for the sea, and sharing it with those who truly want to discover it.

Founded by two people deeply in love with the ocean and their island, Claude — a passionate skipper since childhood — and Mylène — a dedicated entrepreneur with an eye for detail — GIRU Mare reflects a shared vision:

To offer authentic, human and responsible sea excursions — far from impersonal tourist tours.

Here, the sea is not just a backdrop.
It is a family story, a heritage, a source of pride.

Claude — “A passionate captain, but above all, a creator of emotions”

Born in Calvi and raised between land and saltwater, Claude knows the sea the way one knows home: by heart.

He loves sharing the stories behind the red cliffs, guiding your eyes toward hidden details, and revealing what most people would never notice alone.

“I want people to leave with something you can’t capture on Instagram: the feeling of having truly experienced the sea.”

Mylène — “Attention to detail, passion for hospitality”

A dedicated professional and committed entrepreneur, Mylène ensures that every experience feels smooth, sincere and welcoming.

Behind every message, every booking and every detail of the organization, there is her care, precision and warmth.

“We don’t sell seats on a boat.
We create memories that stay with people long after the trip ends.”

Anna Dea — “Chief tester & smile explorer”

A child of the sea before she could even walk on the sand, Anna Dea knows boats and hidden coves the way other children know playgrounds.

She tests every excursion, gives honest opinions, chooses the best swimming spots, tastes the cold drinks, and measures the quality of a sunset by the intensity of her “wow”.

“If it’s approved by Anna Dea, it’s approved by everyone.
She notices everything, feels everything — and never pretends.”

Her perspective reminds us of something essential:
the sea should always be discovered with curiosity, simplicity… and a salt-filled smile.
