Full description
Spend a day on a sailing boat discovering the Gulf of Poets and the famous Cinque Terre.
During the tour, you can dive into the clear waters of the marine park, admire the cliffs of the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, and enjoy the picturesque views of Portovenere and the villages of the Cinque Terre.
This is a unique opportunity that will allow you to visit the Ligurian coast from a privileged viewpoint. What are you waiting for to set sail?
What we will do
We will meet a quarter of an hour before departure in La Spezia. Once all participants have boarded the sailboat, we will cast off our moorings and set sail at 10:00 am.
We will sail within the Gulf of Poets in the direction of Portovenere, admiring the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. We will pass through the channel enclosed between the harbour itself and the island of Palmaria and admire the spectacle that surrounds us, with the picturesque facades of the village houses and the ancient Gothic church of San Pietro.
We will then see the Doria Castle and proceed along the coast to the marine protected area of the Cinque Terre. We will pass through the villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, which peep out from the rocky coastline.
In both cases, there will be a couple of bathing stops during the course of the navigation, one before lunch and one at the end of the trip, before returning. Between stops, the more curious and enterprising passengers can ask the skipper to take the boat for short trips.
Lunch, included in the excursion price, is based on local products, including focaccia, anchovies, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. To drink, wine or prosecco, beer and soft drinks will be provided.
Return to La Spezia is scheduled at 17:00, for a duration of 7 hours in total.
