The motor ship Santa Maria, born as "Corallina" - a vessel for fishing for Red Coral, is a former 20-metre fishing boat - built according to the ancient seafaring method in oak and iroko wood at the Torre del Greco shipyard (NA ). It can accommodate up to 60 passengers and ensure the correct distribution of seafarers thanks to its three decks: two covered, one with a dining room and both with panoramic views; and the foredeck with panoramic seats exposed to the sun.
Duration: 3 hours
From embarkation, the Santa Maria motorboat will sail north touching some of the most important points of the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area, thus exploring naturalistic and archaeological sites.
It is also known as Isola Grande, due to its size, and is located a few meters from the coast of Porto Cesareo. It was renamed as Isola dei Conigli by the local population because in the past it was a common custom to use this strip of land for cattle breeding, necessary for the sustenance of the few local families especially during the period of the two world wars.
Archaeological site. Excavations in 1969 brought to light the remains of a human settlement from the Bronze Age, including an important quantity of archaeological finds and animal fossils.
