Revenue model

1. Sea Excursion Tickets: The primary revenue stream comes from selling tickets for scheduled sea excursions departing from Bastia's Old Port. Customers purchase individual tickets for specific tours (Discovery, Grand Tour, Capraia, Elbe Island) at fixed per-person prices. Payment is made at time of booking via credit card, cash, or bank transfer. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
2. Gift Cards: The company sells gift cards in fixed denominations (39€, 75€, 105€, 120€, 150€, 200€) that can be redeemed for specific excursions. Gift cards are valid for 1 year from purchase date. This provides upfront cash flow and customer acquisition.
3. Group and Privatization Charters: The company offers group bookings (minimum passengers required) and full boat privatization with skipper for half-day or full-day custom routes. Privatization requires full payment 5 days before departure. Group cancellations require 72 hours notice for full refund.
4. Optional Add-ons: Optional MEETCH cancellation insurance available for purchase at time of booking. Also offers payment plans through Oney partner for installment payments.

Direct peers

• Promenades en Mer - Calanques de Marseille: Small-boat operator offering guided sea excursions through the Calanques National Park from Marseille. Comparable offering: intimate passenger capacity, scenic coastal sightseeing with swimming stops, narrated historical/geological commentary, and direct-to-consumer ticketing.
• Compagnie Corsaire: Compagnie Corsaire operates passenger boat excursions and ferry services in Brittany/Saint-Malo, including small-boat coastal sightseeing and island visits. Directly comparable business model: small passenger vessel, scheduled sea excursions, sightseeing and discovery focus, with similar pricing structure and target market (leisure visitors to a defined coastal region).
• Croisières Marseille Calanques (Icard Maritime): Local Marseille-based boat excursion company running scheduled tours to the Calanques and Frioul islands from the Old Port. Comparable small-to-medium passenger boat sightseeing model, similar Mediterranean coastal discovery theme, and tourist customer base.
• Vedettes de Marseille: Vedettes de Marseille runs scheduled sightseeing boat tours from Marseille's Old Port to the Frioul Archipelago and Calanques. Closely comparable as a French small-boat sightseeing operator with harbor departure point, scheduled excursion portfolio, and tourist-customer base, though operating at larger scale.

Others

• TripAdvisor Experiences: Online discovery and booking platform for tours, attractions, and experiences. Cap Corse Croisière already maintains a listing on TripAdvisor, making the platform an adjacent ecosystem partner that drives organic demand generation and serves as a discovery and reputation channel.

Regional players

• Blue Ship Croisières: French operator offering small-boat cruises and day excursions on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. Comparable small-vessel excursion format with multi-region itineraries and tourism-focused pricing, though broader geographic footprint than Cap Corse Croisière.

Broad incumbents

• Corsica Linea: Major scheduled ferry operator serving Bastia and other Corsican ports from mainland France. Same Bastia-port relevance as Corsica Ferries: a broad maritime incumbent whose customer base overlaps with the inbound tourist segment that Cap Corse Croisière depends on.
• Bateaux Mouches: Iconic Paris Seine sightseeing cruise operator offering scheduled narrated tours. Comparable as a sightseeing-cruise business model but operating at much larger scale, urban-river setting, and far higher passenger capacity than Cap Corse Croisière's intimate 12-pax boat.
• Corsica Ferries: Major incumbent ferry operator connecting mainland France/Italy to Corsica, including Bastia port. While not a direct excursion competitor, it controls access for inbound tourists to Cap Corse Croisière's departure point and competes indirectly for tourist leisure spend via its own onboard and island experiences.

Emerging players

• Getmyboat: Online marketplace for boat charters, excursions, and water experiences globally, including Mediterranean offerings. Comparable as a digital booking/aggregation layer over small-boat excursions, and a potential distribution and demand-generation channel for operators like Cap Corse Croisière.
