Get ready to board theOrient Express of the Riviera di Levante!
During this dinghy tour our skipper will take you from Santa Margherita Ligure to San Fruttuoso, passing by the most beautiful attractions of thePortofino Marine Area such as the Bay of Paraggi, theAbbey of San Giorgio and the Christ of the Abyss.
All this, in just one and a half hours!
What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Santa Margherita Ligure (GE). We will be welcomed by the skipper who will take us on this panoramic dinghy tour!
Once all participants have gathered, we will set sail, leaving behind Santa Margherita Ligure, also known as the "Pearl of Tigullio" after the gulf it overlooks.
We will head towards the Portofino Promontory, the most exclusive and renowned village on the Riviera di Levante. We will admire the imposing lighthouse and the elegant pastel-coloured houses overlooking one of the most beautiful harbours in Italy. Past Punta del Vessinaro we will then head towards San Fruttuoso, home to two famous historical attractions: theAbbey, located right on the beach, and the Christ of the Abyss. For those who wish, it will be possible to observe this submerged statue at a depth of 17 metres by snorkelling with the equipment provided on board.
But the surprises don't end there: on the way back, we will admire from the sea theAbbey of San Giorgio, an architectural marvel erected sheer above the coast. We will then reach the Bay of Paraggi, a true natural "treasure", set between the green of the Portofino park and the turquoise of the marine protected area of the same name.
We will finally return to the meeting point. The excursion will last about 1½ hours in total.
