Vintage Wooden Speedboat Tour in the Strait of Bonifacio from Palau

Cruise across the turquoise waters of the western Mediterranean on an exclusive maritime journey from northern Sardinia to the wild shores of southern Corsica. The Strait of Bonifacio is renowned for its dramatic natural landscapes, where towering white limestone cliffs meet deep blue waters, creating a striking marine boundary between islands. Navigating this windy stretch of sea reveals a landscape shaped by the elements, home to preserved nature reserves and isolated granite islets. Stepping aboard a classic wooden speedboat offers a unique feeling of vintage elegance and intimacy, far removed from crowded commercial ferries. The white cliffs of Bonifacio stand as one of the most spectacular geological formations in the region, visible in their full majesty only from the sea.

This 8-hour sea excursion takes you deep into the heart of the Corsican and Bonifacio archipelagos aboard the Sorrentine Gozzo Aurora. Under the guidance of an expert skipper, the vessel crosses the international strait to drop anchor in the shallow, pristine waters of Cala Acciarino on Lavezzi Island, where granite boulders frame natural swimming pools filled with marine life. The itinerary continues to Isola Piana, a flat islet famous for its submerged sandbar that allows visitors to wade through translucent sea as if in a wide open lagoon. During the journey, the crew serves a refreshing lunch prepared with fresh fish and local produce directly on the open deck. Guests can make full use of the onboard stand up paddleboard and inflatable accessories to explore hidden coves or relax under the sun.

This maritime cruise is perfectly tailored for small groups and families seeking a high-quality, comfortable day at sea, keeping a strict maximum capacity of 10 passengers plus crew to ensure personal space. The 11-meter-long vintage motorboat features two private cabins, a bathroom, a spacious forward sundeck for tanning, and a comfortable shaded area to escape the midday heat. A sturdy boarding ladder makes entering the water effortless for swimming sessions, while a hot water shower on deck is available to rinse off after snorkeling. Depending on daily wind conditions, the skipper adjusts the route to guarantee the smoothest possible navigation and the safest mooring spots.

This exclusive day trip runs throughout the summer season, departing daily to offer an immersive encounter with the marine beauty of Corsica and Sardinia. Book your vintage wooden speedboat tour in the Strait of Bonifacio from Palau today and secure your spot on this classic Mediterranean cruise !
