About the experience

Get ready to experience an unforgettable day discovering the hidden jewels of the Gulf of Poets, sailing between picturesque villages, secret bays and crystal clear waters.

The morning will begin with sailing towards the west side of the Gulf, where we will discover the villages of Lerici and Tellaro, two pearls set in the rock, overlooking the sea. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in dream coves, such as the famous Caletta di Lerici, ideal for snorkeling and relaxing in the sun. Afterwards we will head towards Portovenere, where you will disembark for lunch and a pleasant walk through the narrow streets of the village, until you reach the castle and the suggestive Church of San Pietro.

In the afternoon the adventure continues around Palmaria Island, a green oasis in front of Portovenere, perfect for new bathing stops and diving in the clear waters. We will also be able to admire the Byron Cave, so called because it was loved by the famous romantic poet. During the day, the captain will be happy to adapt the itinerary according to your preferences, making each tour unique.

This full-day tour from Portovenere is designed for those who want to explore the Ligurian coast calmly, between relaxation, nature and breathtaking views. The intimate setting and attention to detail make this experience different from any crowded excursion. You will be free to enjoy each stop without rushing, immersed in the authentic beauty of the Gulf of Poets. A perfect day for those looking for a genuine contact with nature and an original way to discover the Ligurian coast.

    Luca was a wonderful skipper!! He was very accomodating and ensured our safety and made sure that we have a great time. He showed us around the gulf of poets and we even booked fishing with him at an extra cost. We managed to catch quite a few fishes and stopped in two places for a swim. One of our best experiences in Cinque Terre!!!

    Leonardo and Luca were the best two skippers and hosts we could have hoped for. They accommodated for all of our needs, even bringing ice and cups for our drinks when we forgot the. The boat was spotless and their knowledge of the area made the trip more than worthwhile. If you’re in La Spezia, you MUST take a trip with them!

    Leonardo's immediate communication, with informative accuracy as where to meet and what to expect and bring along made the booking and arrival a breeze. Luca our skipper was an exceptional guide. Patient, trustworthy, informative and fun. He was happy to go at our pace and seemed to enjoy the trip as much as we did. We can't praise them both high enough. The boat could not have been better either. A blissful experience.
