Full description
Enjoy a romantic panoramic cruise along the beautiful coastline between La Spezia and Portovenere. Get ready to admire a spectacle of coves, cliffs, caves, and ready to unfold before your eyes during the itinerary.
Sailing atsunset, you will be enchanted by the play of light that provides the backdrop for the incredible view of Portovenere and its three small islands: Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
You can then dive into one of the many scenic coves and enjoy an aperitif on board, based on local products and wines. Are you ready to set sail?
What we will do
We will meet in La Spezia, at the place and time indicated in the booking (arrive 15 minutes in advance).
We will immediately set sail for Torre Scola, an impressive fortified building built on an islet not far from the north-eastern tip of Palmaria Island.
During the navigation we will be able to admire from the water some of the tourist pearls of the area, such as the beautiful village of Portovenere and its small islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. Here we will be able to catch a glimpse of the 'Secca del Tinetto' with its characteristic white Madonna, whose colour is reflected below the surface.
We will then head towards Grotta Byron, a diving destination that has inspired poets and writers, such as the famous English poet after whom it is named. Right on the rocks above Lord Byron's Bay, we will be able to admire the Mater Naturae Statue.
During our tour we will make a swimming stop in an area to be agreed between "Le Rosse" and Palmaria, to dive and snorkel to discover the seabed.
At sunset we will be served an aperitif based on local cuisine and wines including pesto, cheese, cold cuts, chips, vegetable and pistachio cakes, accompanied by prosecco, soft drinks.
Lulled by the sea and the sound of music, we will continue our tasting while admiring the scenery, to return to the port after a 3-hour excursion.
