Itinerary

1
tour del golfo dei poeti
1h
Sailing in the Gulf of Poets opens a unique scenery between sea and nature. Named after poets such as Lord Byron who celebrated its beauty, this stretch of coastline is characterised by calm waters, cliffs and villages overlooking the sea. During the tour you can also observe the typical mussel farms of the gulf, a historical tradition of the La Spezia area. Rows of buoys emerging from the water mark the plants where the famous La Spezia muscles are grown, appreciated for their quality and intense flavor. From the sea you discover not only the landscape of the gulf, but also one of the most authentic and representative activities of the local tradition
2
Isola Palmaria
1h
Sailing along the coast you will meet the beautiful Palmaria Island, the largest island in the Gulf of Poets, characterized by high cliffs, wild nature and crystal clear waters. From the sea you can admire spectacular rock faces and stretches of unspoilt coastline, difficult to reach from land. Along the perimeter of the island there are also small natural caves and hidden coves, shaped by wind and waves over the centuries. These suggestive corners, visible above all from the boat, offer unique views between rock, light and sea, making sailing around the island a fascinating experience full of spectacular views

Location

Sailing along the coast opens before your eyes one of the most suggestive views of Liguria: Portovenere, an ancient fishing village at the entrance of the Gulf of Poets. From the sea you can admire the characteristic tall and colorful houses overlooking the marina, built next to each other like a wall on the sea. Continuing towards the tip of the promontory appears the spectacular Church of San Pietro, built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the water and considered one of the most iconic views of the Ligurian coast. Just above the village dominates the view the imposing Doria Castle, an ancient fortress that for centuries protected the country. From the sea you can also see the cliffs and natural caves of the area, including the picturesque Byron Cave, linked to the English poet Lord Byron, who found inspiration here between the intense blue of the sea and the rocks carved by time.
