Know before you go

  • The main boarding point is La Spezia, so if you want to leave from La Spezia you don't have to enter any boarding point because it's the default. If you arrive by train or car, we recommend boarding from La Spezia and if you have a car the parking is a few meters from the boarding point! If you arrive by train it takes about 20 minutes from the train station to get to the boarding point. If you book boarding from Portovenere or Lerici, the time will be at 10.30. You can decide to end the tour in Monterosso al mare which is the last town we visit. We recommend you take some pills against seasickness if the boat bothers you. For any questions do not hesitate to contact me. See you on board, greetings to Captain Gerry

Amazing vibe, perfect day! Such a great experience from start to finish! The vibe on the boat was super chill and friendly. Our guide Gerry was absolutely amazing – not only super fun and easygoing, but also incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He made the whole experience feel personal and unique, sharing interesting stories and making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. You could really tell he loves what he does and genuinely care about his guests. The boat was super nice and comfortable, with good music playing the whole time. The food and drinks were lovely - we had very good focaccia with rosemarino on board. 🙌 The group size was perfect too – not too big, so it felt personal and relaxed. Honestly just a really good time on the water. We would totally do it again!
