Mediterranean Magic: Portofino by Boat from La Spezia

Meet the crew 10 minutes before departure time in Porto Mirabello, La Spezia, from where the boat tour will start.

Sail along the “Gulf of Poets” to reach the picturesque village of Portovenere, famous for its historical Church of San Pietro that overlooks the sea and for its lively “tower-houses”.

It will be a unique opportunity to admire Byron’s Cave, where the famous poet found inspiration.

Continuing along the Ligurian coast, we will pass outside the Cinque Terre National Park, allowing you to admire the picturesque villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso directly from the sea. You will enjoy breathtaking views of sheer cliffs and coastal villages.

After passing Punta Mesco, we will take in the beautiful bay of Levanto and continue cruising along the coast towards Sestri Levante.

The first swimming stop will be in the Bay of Silence, one of the most enchanting treasures of the Ligurian Riviera. In this uniquely charming location, you will have free time to swim and snorkel.

Once arrived in Portofino, you will have about 2.5 hours to explore the area on your own, stroll through the Piazzetta or along the narrow cobblestone streets. This fishing village, a popular destination for visitors from around the world, has always been synonymous with luxury and elegance.

From Portofino, we will continue to San Fruttuoso, a small hidden bay along the Ligurian coast known for its natural beauty. Here, we will stop for another swim: from the sea, you can glimpse the white pebble beach and the ancient abbey that overlooks the area.

We will depart from San Fruttuoso towards La Spezia, enjoying a limoncello tasting before returning to the port. The tour ends after approximately 9 hours, returning to the initial meeting point.
