Detailed description

From La Spezia to Portovenere by sailing ship along the Gulf of Poets

The poetic sounding Gulf of Poets, as the Bay of La Spezia is also called, because writers have always liked to settle here over time, is a magical sight for every friend of nature. The shimmering blue Mediterranean Sea stretches between the extensive hills with the Val di Magra as an impressive background. The Italian Ligurian coast impresses with wide beaches, luxurious marinas, rocky cliffs and colourful coastal towns and mountain villages that blend wonderfully into the scenery of the foothills of the Alps.

In addition to the picturesque views that this cosy corner of Italy has to offer, a romantic tour by boat from La Spezia to Portovenere is also possible. On a medieval, traditional Leudo, a coastal sailor often used to transport wine and olive oil, you will enjoy the gentle breeze, the warm sun and the gentle movement of the waves coupled with the roar of the blue sea while sailing. In addition to the exclusive and luxurious atmosphere in a small group of up to 12 people on this antique sailor in top condition with an experienced skipper, who will enrich you culturally with stories, and a professional chef, who will introduce you to the local cuisine, you can choose between three different variants of your trip on the Mediterranean waves.

For pure enjoyment and pampering, book the 4-hour tour from La Spezia in a sailing ship with dinner. The journey takes you through the dreamlike Gulf of the Poets to the Bay of Portovenere. On the country side, the colourful city nestles into the ridge of hills with colourful facades and narrow alleys, all in Ligurian charm. Opposite is the island of La Palmeria with most of its untouched nature. A mixture of local nature and culture is served in this bay as a culinary treat in the form of a dinner of selected ingredients, served in a local style. If you would like to learn how the expert chef prepares his special pesto, book the 4-hour cooking course on board the boat tour from La Spezia to Portovenere. Here you will learn how to use the mortar to obtain the perfect mixture of basil and cream, whose consistency is finely balanced with oil and cheese, and to prepare a tasty, traditional Ligurian pesto. The chef serves delicious Ligurian specialities as an appetizer. A shorter pleasure is offered by the 2.5-hour pleasure cruise under the sails with aperitif: local wines and small Italian snacks. Here you will stop in the bay of Portovenere for a small tasting of local wine specialities around the famous Cinque Terre. The staff is always at your disposal to meet all your expectations and wishes.

On the way back, when it is already dark, you glide back on the water under the glow of the clear starry sky past the lights of the nightly Portovenere to complete the La Spezia boat tour, unless you still want to go swimming in the moonlight. Then the skipper stops for this unforgettable activity.
