Cala Maestra: Situated to the northwest, it safeguards the remains of the ancient Roman port and serves as the gateway to the spectacular Roman Villa of the Domitii Ahenobarbi.
Cala Spalmatoio: Situated on the opposite side, it's a tranquil bay with turquoise waters, perfect for swimming and snorkelling. (Note: The captain will choose the best landing spot each morning based on wind and sea conditions, to ensure your maximum safety and comfort).

Frequently Asked Questions about Embarkation

We always recommend going to the meeting point or ticket office at least 30 minutes before of the scheduled departure time, to complete the boarding procedures in complete tranquillity.

During the peak season (August), it is advisable to contact private car parks (Asiamel, Fanciulli, etc.) in advance to secure a spot for the whole day.

Departure and arrival ports, as well as itineraries, may be subject to change at the Captain's discretion due to force majeure or adverse weather and sea conditions, with safety always being the top priority.
