  In this second paper dedicated to the study of satellite galaxies we present
broad-band photometry in the B, V, R and I filters of 49 satellite galaxies
orbiting giant isolated spiral galaxies. First analysis of the properties of
these objects are presented by means of color--color and color--magnitude
diagrams for early- and late-type satellites. Although we find differences in
the slope of the V-I vs. Mv color magnitude diagram, as a whole, the relations
are in agreement with the trends known to date for galaxies of similar
magnitudes in nearby clusters of galaxies. Comparison with the relations found
for satellites in the Local Group allows us to sample better the bright end of
the luminosity function of satellite galaxies and extends for brighter objects
the validity of the color--magnitude relation found for dwarf galaxies in the
Local Group. Most of the E/S0 galaxies in our sample show a negative color
gradient with values similar to those known for early type galaxies in other
environments.
