About Lerici
Lerici sits on the eastern edge of the Gulf of Poets, where the Apennines drop straight into calm, swimmable water and the horizon is broken by the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. Cruises here are less about covering distance than about the coastline itself — sea caves, cliffs, and coves you can only reach from the water. A good starting point is the Gulf of Poets Tour: Sail through history and beauty with swimming stops, which builds in time to swim, while the Small-Group Boat Trip: Gulf of Poets, Portovenere & Three Islands keeps numbers low for a quieter look at the marine reserve.

Frequently asked questions
You are sailing inside the Gulf of Poets, a sheltered stretch of the Ligurian Sea backed by steep terraced hills. Cruises here focus on the coastline rather than long crossings: sea caves below Portovenere, the cliffs around Tellaro, and the protected waters around Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
