Embark with Jean-Baptiste Rostini, a native of the region, owner and guide, practicing the profession since 1989.
On board the Mare Nostrum II, a small boat with all comforts, you will discover the anfractuosities of the volcanic and granitic rocks of Scandola, the coves of Piana and Capo Rosso, the faults, the caves and the narrow passages. Throughout the route, live commentary is broadcast by the captain and guide. The boat is equipped with toilets, protection of the elements (wind, spray, sun), and a drinks service.
A 30 minutes stop in Girolata is assured, and in summer a refreshing break in a cove may be offered depending on the weather conditions.

It was more than 2 hrs away from where my ship docked, we didn’t dock until 8:00 and the tour began at 9:15 so we had no time to arrange transportation. I wish there was some way to know how far the location is. The paper I had was in French, which I don’t speak. A gentleman in the Villafrance tourist office was able to call and cancel the excursion. I received a partial refund , I assume the company took a percentage
