About the experience

Explore the Gulf of Poets: A Dreamy Day aboard AD MAIORA

Step aboard AD MAIORA, a beautifully crafted 7.5-meter Italian gozzo, and immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of the Gulf of Poets. With space for up to 8 guests and equipped with every comfort, this intimate cruise offers a unique way to discover the hidden treasures of Liguria from the sea.

Your journey begins with a stop in either Portovenere or Lerici — both picturesque coastal towns steeped in history and charm. Take a stroll through colorful alleyways, admire the medieval architecture, and soak in the sea breeze from a scenic waterfront promenade.

Next, set course for Palmaria Island, a protected natural paradise where you’ll enjoy a relaxing swim in pristine waters, surrounded by wild cliffs and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Snorkeling equipment is available on board for those eager to explore beneath the surface.

Cruise through the heart of the Gulf of Poets, a stretch of coastline that has inspired artists and poets for centuries, with breathtaking views and quiet coves tucked between dramatic cliffs.

Venture into the enchanting Byron’s Grotto, a sea cave named after the famous poet Lord Byron, who found solace and inspiration in its raw beauty. Then, sail past the mystical islands of Tino and Tinetto, two marine jewels rich in history and natural splendor.

Throughout your day, relax in the care of a professional crew, enjoy soft towels, and sip on a refreshing Italian aperitif as you drift through one of Liguria’s most poetic and magical corners.

AD MAIORA is fully authorized to navigate and anchor within the protected marine area of the Cinque Terre Park, ensuring you access to places few others can reach — for a truly unforgettable experience at sea.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Porto Lotti, La Spezia, Italy
Stop in Portovenere/Lerici for a visit
Charming seaside towns full of history and character. Portovenere offers pastel-colored houses, the medieval Doria Castle, and the scenic Church of San Pietro on the cliffs. Lerici, with its elegant promenade and 13th-century castle, is a favorite of poets and writers — a peaceful gem with a romantic vibe.
Stop on Palmaria Island for a swim
A wild and green island just off Portovenere, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Crystal-clear waters, rocky coves, and rich marine life make this the perfect spot for a refreshing swim and some snorkeling in nature.
Visit to the Gulf of Poets
A spectacular bay named for the many poets and artists who have fallen in love with it. Dramatic cliffs, pastel villages, and poetic views follow you all along the coastline — a cruise through beauty and inspiration.
Visit Bryrion Cave
A romantic cave nestled beneath the cliffs of Portovenere, named after Lord Byron who is said to have swum across the gulf from here. A mystical place with turquoise water and a magical atmosphere.
Visit to the vat and the tinetto
Two small, uninhabited islands rich in history and protected marine life. Tino is home to an ancient monastery and lighthouse, while tiny Tinetto features ruins from early Christian times. Both are a stunning sight from the sea — peaceful, remote, and timeless.

    We were in Porto Venere for a few nights and had visited Cique Terre already. It is August and hot and crowded and wanted to avoid this so found Marco. Wow. What a great time. Sophia was our hostess who once the reservation was made, contacted me and made sure we were set. We did the 4 hour trip which included stops to swim, city tours, and a great sunset. We are a boating family and my wife gets seasick easy and we had NO issues. The captain was very very good. We have already recommended to our friends. Thank you for being part of an awesome Italy vacation!
