The Mediterranean Sea is a large basin, wonderful in its deep blue colour.

The stable marine ecosystem and sea temperature provides a nourishing environment for life in the deep sea to flourish, while assuring balanced aquatic conditions protected from any external deep oceanic factors.

In recent decades, the arrival of exotic species from the tropical Atlantic has become noticeable.
We will explore a tiny part of this vast expanse, in the so called “Pelagos Sanctuary”, looking for pelagic migratory fishes and cetaceans.
The target species will be long finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas), which are highly playful and social mammals and can be approached with patience and dedication.
Encounters with common dolphins, risso dolphins, striped stenellae, sea turtles (mostly caretta caretta), fin whales, sperm whales, mobula rays, mola mola (ocean sun-fish) are expected.

Pilot whales usually travels in pods of 10–30 members, typically family. Like killer whales, they have a matrilineal social hierarchy with an elder female at the head, and a sizable post-reproductive lifespan. They are polygynous, and females often outnumber males 8:1 in a pod.

The private boat, spacious and equipped for the navigation in open sea, will depart each day from the harbour at 8:30 and will be back at 5:00 pm; in the case of extraordinary encounters it will be possible to extend the navigation. Two hours of air location each day, allowing to head the boat towards the marine life.

Every day is different and unpredictable in open sea.
