About the experience

The boat tour departs from Porto Mirabello in La Spezia aboard a Cap 7.5 CC, a modern, comfortable vessel perfect for exploring the coast in complete relaxation. After boarding, we slowly set sail, leaving the marina behind us to enter the famous Gulf of Poets, a wide, luminous stretch of sea that owes its name to the writers and artists who were captivated by it.

The cruise passes small villages overlooking the water, such as Fezzano, Le Grazie, and Cadimare, until reaching Portovenere, with its colorful terraced houses and the church of San Pietro dominating the rocky promontory. Continuing, we encounter the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Cinque Terre. Here, the sea is particularly clear, and we make our first stops for swimming and relaxing at anchor, surrounded by cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation.

After passing the Portovenere promontory, the route heads towards the Cinque Terre. The view from the sea is unique: Riomaggiore appears like a small, colorful nativity scene nestled in the rock, Manarola stands out for its tower houses overlooking a deep inlet, Corniglia can be glimpsed higher up, perched on the cliff, while Vernazza and Monterosso open up with their small harbors and beaches.

During the day, stops are planned for swimming in the crystal-clear waters, snorkeling, or simply relaxing aboard the Cap 7.5 CC. Depending on the program, there may also be the option to disembark in one of the villages for a short visit or for lunch overlooking the sea.

The eight-hour navigation allows for a leisurely experience, alternating moments of exploration with relaxing breaks. The pace is pleasant and unhurried, accompanied by the sound of the sea and the uninterrupted panorama of cliffs, terraced vineyards, and brightly colored houses.

The return to La Spezia takes place in the late afternoon, when the sunlight makes the coastline even more evocative, concluding an intense and fulfilling day of nature, sea, and history.

Translated from German

I rented the "Jeanau Cap Camarat 6.5" boat without a skipper. The boat was new and only a few months old, so everything was perfect both technically and visually. The rental price for the boat was also very good. Communication was very good, except for one minor issue. Bad weather was forecast for the morning, so I was called and asked if I wanted to postpone. I was already on my way to the harbor and said I wanted to go on the trip anyway. On site, I received a very thorough introduction to the boat and was able to start the trip. The only criticism was the issue of refueling. I started with 90 liters, which was about half the tank and was sufficient for my trip. I was told I didn't need to refuel, but it would simply be deducted from the deposit. Not the usual procedure, but not a big deal. I was surprised, however, by the bill. I was charged €2.16 per liter instead of the current €1.78 per liter. I would have preferred to just stop at the gas station myself.
