Activity itinerary

Portovenere
  • 15m
Opportunity to go ashore and explore the charming village of Portovenere, with its typical narrow carrugi full of shops and picturesque corners. The highlight is the medieval Church of San Pietro, built on a rocky promontory above the sea—an unforgettable view that makes this first stop of the tour truly special.
Grotta di Byron
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
From the boat, admire the impressive natural amphitheater of Byron’s Cave, where waves crash against the cliffs creating light and foam effects. An iconic spot named after the English poet Byron, who found inspiration here and famously swam across these wild waters.
Isola Palmaria
  • 15m
Sailing along Palmaria Island reveals a true natural paradise: cliffs, hidden coves, and Mediterranean vegetation reaching down to the sea. An unspoiled landscape, perfect for a refreshing swim away from the crowds.
Grotta Azzurra (Pass by)
A unique natural spectacle: sunlight filtering into the Blue Grotto turns the water into brilliant turquoise shades. A fascinating spot to admire from the boat, or to enjoy by swimming in its crystal-clear waters.
Isola del Tino (Pass by)
From the sea, you can admire the imposing Tino Island, with its white lighthouse standing on the cliffs and the remains of the monastery of Saint Venerius, patron saint of the Gulf of Poets. Usually inaccessible, the island reveals all its charm when seen from the boat.
Tinetto
  • 1h
A small and fascinating rocky islet at the edge of the open sea, it preserves the remains of an ancient Paleochristian monastery. Its silhouette, glowing in the sunset light, creates an intimate and peaceful atmosphere—an ideal way to end the tour
Lerici
  • 1h
From the sea, Lerici immediately stands out with its impressive castle overlooking the village and the bay. Colorful houses line the seafront in a picturesque view, while nearby beaches and coves make this stop perfect for a swim or a stroll through the charming village center.
Tellaro (Pass by)
A small jewel of the Gulf of Poets, Tellaro looks from the sea like a painted village, with pastel-colored houses clinging to the rocks above the water. Its intimate and evocative atmosphere makes it a perfect stop for a relaxing break away from the crowds.
