Details
Our boat trip from Porto Venere around Palmaria and Tino Islands with lunch is the perfect activity for lovers of good food and breathtaking scenery! If you are lucky enough to find yourself in what is known as the Sesta Terra, come aboard our elegant boat, and be overwhelmed by the beauty of nature in this part of the Ligurian coastline.
Expect numerous stops in the area's most enchanting and lesser-known beaches, during which you can swim, snorkel and have fun with our banana boat. We will take you to visit the enchanting island of Palmaria, with the nearby islets of Tino and Tinetto. If requested, it will also be possible to take a longer break to explore the renowned island's path. To refresh ourselves, an apéritif will be offered during the trip.
Between dips, the highlight of the trip will come: you will be served a rich lunch based on the catch of the day. Our staff will delight you with fresh, traditional seafood dishes and excellent prosecco. Finally, caressed by the wind, we will return to the port of departure.

We had an incredible day on the water with Daniela, our warm and welcoming host, and Maurizio, the kind ‘comandante’. Daniela truly made the experience special. She welcomed us into “her” village, Porto Venere, and shared all the local specialties with us—it felt like a true insider’s experience.
The food was absolutely delicious. As real fishermen, they knew exactly how to prepare everything to perfection. Every detail of the day was thoughtfully arranged, making it both relaxing and memorable.
Don’t hesitate; spend a day on the Maragià boat. You won’t regret it!

We had a really great time with the crew of Maragià. They were helpful, super friendly and personable the whole time. Our dog was also welcome on board. A great boat that offers both sunny and shady spots. So we were able to enjoy the fantastic view of the coastal landscape around Porto Venere and Palmeria. The whole thing was rounded off with a nice meal with wine. A short shore excursion in Lerici was also part of the program.
I would like to say a special thank you to Daniela and the skipper because they turned around immediately after my wife noticed that she had left her smartphone in one of the cafes in Lerici.
I can highly recommend this tour to everyone 👍
