Full-Day Yacht Charter: Sunken Ship to Cape of Rodon, Durres, Albania

Welcome to Durres, Albania's largest seaport and one of Europe's most sought-after yachting destinations. With its immaculate beaches where golden sands meet the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, Durres is a haven for beach lovers. The city is also steeped in history, featuring the grand Roman amphitheater of Emperor Hadrian with its impressive 15,000 seats, and Durres Castle, a medieval stronghold with roots tracing back to the Byzantine era.

Your Adventure Begins - Our journey kicks off with a convenient pick-up from the designated meeting point, just a short 5-minute drive to Durres Port. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our skilled skipper, who will provide essential instructions before we set sail. Departing from Durres, our first destination is the secluded Kallmi, a hidden gem celebrated for its unspoiled natural beauty and crystal-clear waters.

Uncovering the Sunken Ship - One of the most remarkable aspects of this trip is our visit to a sunken Astro-Hungarian ship, a relic from World War II (Antonjetta Costa) resting just 2 meters below the surface. Astonishingly, this site remains largely unknown, even among the local population! This rare underwater exploration will surely be a highlight of your adventure.

Exploring Durres' Coastline - The tour continues to Portez Beach, a quaint bay renowned for being one of Durres’ most picturesque spots. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in various activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and fishing, all while soaking up the sun. Whether you're diving to explore the sunken ship or simply relaxing on board with a glass of Prosecco, snacks, and good music, this day promises to be filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Next, we venture to the Cape of Rodon, a breathtaking natural landmark near Durres. Known for its dramatic cliffs, lush greenery, and historical significance, this cape offers stunning views and is home to the medieval Rodoni Castle, built by Albania’s national hero, Skanderbeg. As we explore its serene beaches and ancient ruins, you’ll also enjoy hiking trails that showcase the region’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.
