The boat excursion allows you to admire and swim at some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, many of which can only be visited by sea.
The coast of Elba Island features an extraordinary variety of environments, from the white coast of Portoferraio to the granite cliffs of Sant'Andrea, from the white sand beaches to the red, ferrous beaches on the eastern side.

Full Island Tour (A unique experience with 4 swimming stops)

The Island Tour is one of the magnificent day-long experiences aboard the Motonave Principe that will allow you to see the entire coast of Elba Island and its countless natural wonders.

We will depart from Marina di Campo at 9:15 am to begin sailing along the southern coast of Capo Stella until we reach the Costa dei Gabbiani, with the first stop at the wild Cannello beach for a surprising swim in the heart of the Calamita Mine, where the beach is surrounded by excavations and the towering abandoned structure of an industrial laundry.

We will continue sailing along the entire Costa dei Gabbiani, an area accessible only by sea, entering the eastern side of Elba until we reach the village of Porto Azzurro. From there, we will sail along the entire coast of the Rio mines to Cavo, known as the “Shining Coast” in honour of the shimmer of the black mineral dust present on some beaches, which gives them their distinctive appearance.

The tour continues on the northern side of Elba, first in a wild area up to Portoferraio where the “Costa Verde” begins, a beautiful stretch marked by white cliffs plunging into the crystal-clear sea of a deep blue and brilliant turquoise.
Here, we will pass near the Scoglietto Marine Reserve, which is rich in marine wildlife.

The second swimming stop will be at Sansone beach.

Our journey continues into the bay of Biodola and then into that of Procchio, two of the longest sandy beaches on Elba Island, until we reach Marciana Marina, the last harbour on the northern coast. From here, we continue to the third stop at Sant'Andrea, one of the most famous beaches for the transparency of its sea and for the granite cliffs that sink into the turquoise waters.

Here we are on the western side, characterised by a high and rocky coastline. We pass through Chiessi and Pomonte, where there is a wreck that sank in the 1970s, the Evilscott, at a depth of only 12 metres. The fourth swim break is in Fetovaia on the south coast, one of the most picturesque and celebrated beaches on the island for its seabed, sheltered location, crystal-clear water, and the colour contrasts between the sapphire and turquoise sea and the fine white granite sand.

We cross the bay of Cavoli with its Blue Cave and return to Marina di Campo at approximately 3:15 PM.
