Departing from La Spezia or Bocca di Magra, this exclusive experience is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends who want to explore the Ligurian coast in complete relaxation, away from the crowds.
🍹 The experience begins
The day begins with a welcome cocktail on deck as we set sail towards Portovenere, a true jewel of the Gulf of Poets. You'll admire its colorful houses, the medieval charm of the village, and the majestic Church of San Pietro, perched high above the sea.
We'll sail past the legendary Byron Cave, a place dear to the famous poet, allowing ourselves to be enveloped in the magic of this unique landscape, where rock and sea blend together in a timeless setting.
🤿 Secret coves and crystal-clear sea
The journey continues to Le Rosse and Scoglio Ferale, two extraordinary natural formations where red cliffs plunge into turquoise waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
We'll then reach Monesteroli, a hidden gem accessible only by sea or via a long staircase suspended over the sea. Here, an intimate and wild atmosphere awaits, with unparalleled views of the Ligurian coast.
☀️ Relaxation and taste on board
During the cruise, you can relax on the large sunbathing cushions, enjoy the shaded areas on the flybridge or in the cockpit, and enjoy an included onboard lunch, freshly prepared with care and passion, in authentic gourmet style.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Porto Mirabello, La Spezia, Italia
Portovenere
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Portovenere is a charming seaside village with colorful houses along the seafront, a medieval castle and the iconic Church of San Pietro, perched on a rocky cliff. Its charming port and romantic atmosphere make it a perfect first stop.
The Red Feral Rock
This stretch of coast is known for its dramatic red cliffs that plunge into the sea, creating a magnificent contrast with the turquoise waters. The Scoglio Ferale (the "Wild Rock") is a dramatic sea stack that rises from the water, creating a stunning natural landmark. It is a great place to take pictures, swim and snorkel.
Monasteroli
A true hidden gem, Monesteroli is a remote and peaceful stone village nestled in the rocks. It is famous for its impressive staircase of over 1,000 steps leading down from the hills above, reachable only by foot or by boat. The surrounding waters are pristine, offering a quiet and scenic place to swim and relax.
Byron Cave
Named after the poet Lord Byron, who is said to have swum across the gulf to visit his friend Shelley, this sea cave is hidden beneath the cliffs of Portovenere. The cave opens onto sparkling blue waters and is surrounded by sheer rock faces, making it the perfect place for a scenic stop and a touch of literary history.

    Stefano created a magical day for us on his very well kept boat. From the moment we booked he was communicating with me regularly and effectively. He came up with a plan for sight seeing and made sure we had the most beautiful waters to swim in. He also provided us with drinks and delicious food that he made himself! Stefano takes great care and pride in what he does and how he treats his guests. We felt welcome and had a fantastic experience with Stefano. I would highly recommend for anyone who is interested in a beautiful day out on the sea.

    We have been on boats all over Europe and very pleased to say that our day onboard Stefano's boat was simply amazing. The boat is spacious and comfortable with sufficient power to take you to the many places of interest in the area. We wanted to find secluded coves and hidden caves and the perfect place for lunch. Stefano knows the area well and has a wealth of experience as a boat operator and was able to put together an itinerary that was simply perfect. Definitely book, you will have an incredible time. Thank you Stefano! we had an amazing time.

    Grazie mille to Stefano for an unforgettable day on board!! Everything was perfect and nothing was missing: the transfer from the hotel to the boat, the warm welcome and the entire organization of the day. Stefano knows what he is doing and he loves what he does. He finds the best places, the most beautiful bays and the bluest sea. For the evening he chose the bay of Le Grazie, a magical place where we were able to enjoy a very special candlelight dinner. We will certainly remember this day for a long time and we will definitely come back!!
