What to expect
The Gulf of Poets Tour!
Departure from wherever you want!
Lerici and the Castle by the Sea: From the deck of the boat, we will admire its imposing castle and the historic villas overlooking the bay. This is where the charm of the seaside villages meets the legend of the great English poets.
Palmaria Island and the Archipelago: We will sail around Palmaria, the queen of the Gulf. We will discover the sea caves and the narrow passages between the island and its smaller "sisters", Tino and Tinetto, where nature reigns supreme and the sea takes on emerald shades.
Portovenere: We point the bow towards the jewel of the tour. Passing under the Church of San Pietro, which overlooks the cliff, and sailing alongside the Byron Grotto is an experience that only a boat can provide. The view of the famous "palazzata" of colorful houses will take your breath away.
Le Spiagge delle Rosse: We will go further, towards a stretch of wild, unspoiled coast. Le Rosse are spectacular cliffs that drop steeply into a crystal-clear sea. It's the perfect place for an exclusive swim, away from the crowded beaches and only accessible by sea.
