Join us for a private boat trip to Porto Venere and the 3 islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto in the enchanting Gulf of Poets. With absolute privacy and flexibility, you have the chance to explore this amazing area on the Ligurian Riviera on board a comfortable and skilfully manoeuvred boat. To make this trip even better, drinks and typical Ligurian focaccia will be served on board!
Starting from La Spezia, we will immediately set sail along the west coast of the gulf, admiring the stunning Porto Venere where you can decide to make a 1-hour stop, having plenty of time to visit the village on your own. You can immerse yourself in the caruggi (small and colourful alleys), visit the Church of S. Pietro, climb up the ancient walls of the Doria castle and have lunch at our partner restaurant.
We will then proceed to the three islands, Palmaria, Tino, Tinetto, and you can decide once again where you want to stop. Our favourite spots for a swim include the Admiral's Cove and Punta Mariella on the eastern side of the island, as well as Tino Island, where we can stop for a second swim either at the cove of the Lighthouse, or in front of the rock of Tinetto, where a statue of the Madonna dedicated to sailors stands out from the sea. On the way back, you will have one last chance to dive into the wonderful crystal clear waters of the volcanic cave of Cala Grande, as well as admire the wonderful Grotto dedicated to the English poet Lord Byron, before returning toward Porto Mirabello.
