About this activity

We'll sail along the coast to discover the beauty of a landscape shaped by nature and human labor.

We'll sail slowly, and I'll show you the most interesting areas, their curiosities, and the best spots for a refreshing swim.

We'll visit the bay of Portofino with its wonderful views, and you'll be able to admire the picturesque village from the sea. Upon request, you can disembark here for a short stroll along the piers or for some shopping.

We'll then pass the tip of the promontory on which the lighthouse stands, marking the gulf's boundary, and continue through the marine protected area to the bay of San Fruttuoso. Here, we'll stop to swim and snorkel to see the Christ of the Abyss (a statue placed on the seabed). You'll admire the magical bay and the abbey of San Fruttuoso from the sea.
