CURIOSITY.

The Motonave Santa Maria, which originated as the "Corallina" - a vessel for red coral fishing, is a former
20-meter fishing boat - built according to the ancient seafaring method from oak and iroko wood at the
Torre del Greco (NA) shipyard. It can accommodate up to 60 passengers and ensure the proper
distribution of sailors thanks to its three decks: two covered decks, one of which has a dining room and both with
panoramic views; and the foredeck with panoramic sun-exposed seating.
