This experience, in a nutshell

We will depart from Real Marina del Fezzano and in about an hour of navigation we will reach the seaside villages of the Gulf of Poets, Lerici, Tellaro, and the beautiful Porto Venere with its neighboring islands of Palmaria and Tino. Here, if the weather conditions permit, it will be possible to moor for the night and sleep in the roadstead and then go ashore with the tender.

The following day we will head to the famous 5 terre, beautiful villages perched on the rocks and overlooking the sea, seen from the privileged perspective of the sea.

Continuing the navigation we will reach the Gulf of Tigullio and then reach Sestri Levante where we could also moor at anchor or find a place in the small port and go ashore.

The next day we will sail in the Gulf of Tigullio until we reach the prestigious and fascinating town of Portofino and then we will visit the bay of San Fruttuoso where the statue of the Christ of the Abyss is immersed. Here we could moor the boat to a buoy and we can go ashore to visit the Benedictine Monastery of the year 1000.

The last night we will spend right in front of the port of Portofino and then the next day, the last day of our holiday, we will return to the Gulf of La Spezia along the outward journey in reverse with new perspectives.

Aperitifs, sunsets and starry nights are included and for those who also want a bit of sailing school...

See you soon and fair winds.

Overall rating 5 stars, only because you can't put more :). More than a holiday, it was a fantastic experience, which we will never forget. Extraordinary skipper who in addition to getting in complete harmony with me and my wife, has created a wonderful relationship with our children. Tour created together, visiting magnificent places on a beautiful boat with all the necessary comforts. A week on a sailing boat is certainly a strong experience, but if done together with people like this it becomes an exceptional life experience, Thank you again for everything and see you soon!

Excellent experience, the skipper Marco made himself available to define the program together day by day based on the weather and involved us in the navigation activities, excellent management of a problem that occurred during the holiday. We were able to sleep in the roadstead, go sailing, visit Portovenere and swim in various locations. The boat and the three cabins it is equipped with are good.

It is an experience that I recommend to everyone, even if it is not for everyone. Because it is not suitable for those who do not know how to adapt, for those who do not know how to slow down and respect the rhythms of nature, for those who want privacy. But if you are willing to try, aware of what has been said above, you will not regret it. It was my first experience and, unfortunately, it ended early for me due to seasickness (which unfortunately was unexpected). Yet, despite this unhappy epilogue, I loved every second. I admit that I was skeptical at first, as there were few indications on how to organize themselves. But you understand it after how much an integral part of the experience is to be carried away not only by the wind but also and above all by events. Because when you're on the boat, nothing is predictable. And our skipper Marco, in his own way, made us understand this well. I loved everything: the company of 5 strangers (including Marco) who turned out to be a great fortune, the small spaces to share and the wonderful views that surrounded us. I loved seasickness less but, alas, it is also part of nature. Marco reassured me and advised me to stay as well as possible, until he accompanied me back to the ground. Highly recommend, to try at least once in a lifetime! If you are lucky, even more.
