Full description
Summon your explorer spirit: don mask, snorkel and fins to snorkel right where the Elviscot ship sank.
Climb aboard a comfortable motorboat and get ready to spend half a day among the beauties of the Island of Elba, from Grotta Azzurra in Fetovaia to Pomonte, off the coast where the ship sank in 1972.
The great thing is that it is a wreck on the surface of the water, at a depth of only 12 metres... the perfect stage for an unforgettable excursion!
What we will do
Departure is at 16:00 from the port of Marina di Campo (LI), where the crew will be waiting for us. After boarding the comfortable motorboat, we will begin our navigation along the southern coast of the Island of Elba in the direction of the Bay of Cavoli.
Our tour will begin with one of the most beautiful views of the island, from which we will continue towards the Bay of Fetovaia, where we will make our first swimming stop (about 20 minutes). We will dive into a sapphire-coloured sea, surrounded by a beach of fine white sand.
Back on board, we will resume sailing towards Pomonte. Once there, we can snorkel and spot the wreck of the Elviscot, a merchant ship that sank in 1972. In addition to the wreck, we will also be able to observe shoals of bream, turbot, sea bream, crabs and sole. The stop will last about 20-30 minutes.
But the nice surprises of the tour do not end there. Once back on board, we will head towards the Blue Grotto where we will make our third bathing stop of about 20 minutes. Around this time the sun, penetrating through the cracks in the rock, makes the water in the cave particularly transparent and creates suggestive plays of light on the walls and seabed.
Finally, we will return to the starting point around 19:00, after about three hours of touring.
