Set off on a full-day boat adventure from the Port of Vlora and uncover some of southern Albania’s most stunning and hidden coastal treasures. Sail across the crystal-clear Ionian Sea and explore a mix of history, legends and wild beauty, led by a modern-day pirate!
Begin your voyage with a stop at mysterious Sazan Island, once a top-secret Cold War military base. Wander through abandoned bunkers and tunnels while hearing fascinating tales of its guarded past, straight from your pirate host, who adds humour and storytelling to every stop. Next, cruise to the legendary Haxhi Ali Cave, one of the largest sea caves in Albania. Marvel at its impressive entrance while your pirate captain shares the myths tied to this natural wonder, named after an actual pirate from the region.
Then, drop anchor at the remote Karaburun Peninsula. Relax on pristine beaches, take a refreshing swim in turquoise waters, or snorkel to discover marine life. This protected coastline is a perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. Along the way, enjoy unforgettable views of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and wide-open sea. For those who want an extra treat, an optional onboard lunch is available to keep you fuelled for the journey.
With a playful pirate spirit and stunning scenery, this experience blends history, nature and storytelling, creating a day you won’t soon forget.
