Discover Portovenere at Sunset – Exclusive Boat Tour

Our first stop will be in the charming village of Le Grazie, a hidden gem of Liguria that still preserves the authentic soul of a fishing hamlet. Colorful pastel houses reflecting on the water, boats moored along the small harbor, and the scent of the sea accompanying the promenade create an intimate and romantic atmosphere

We reach Portovenere, a jewel of the Gulf of Poets and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the charm of history meets the beauty of the sea. The village welcomes us with its colorful tower-houses that seem to guard the harbor, leading us towards the promontory where the famous Church of San Pietro stands.
At sunset, this place becomes pure magic: the sun slowly descends behind the cliffs, painting the church stones in shades of red and gold, while illuminating the trail of the sea below. The atmosphere feels suspended in time, with the Gothic-Romanesque profile of the church silhouetted against a sky that changes color minute by minute.
It is the most moving moment of the tour, to be lived in silence, embraced by the poignant beauty of one of the most enchanting sunsets in Liguria

We continue the tour towards one of the most iconic places in Portovenere: the evocative Byron’s Cave. This impressive natural amphitheater of rock opens directly onto the sea, where the waves crash with force, creating foamy sprays and shimmering reflections of light.
Its name is linked to the Romantic poet George Gordon Byron, who found inspiration for his verses here and who, according to tradition, loved to dive and swim in these wild waters.
At sunset, the cave takes on a unique charm: the sea mirrors the red and golden hues of the sky, while the silhouette of the cliffs becomes a natural painting. It is a place steeped in poetry, where history, nature, and literature merge in an unforgettable atmosphere.

The navigation continues towards the splendid Palmaria Island, the largest of the islands in the Gulf of Poets, a true natural paradise where sea and vegetation meet in perfect harmony. The island, rich in Mediterranean scrub, cliffs, and hidden coves, offers unspoiled and wild landscapes.
At sunset, the warm light of the sun caresses the rocks and the woods, creating a striking contrast between the deep green of the vegetation and the golden sky reflected on the water. It is the ideal place to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let yourself be embraced by the silence broken only by the sound of the sea

The tour becomes even more special with an aperitif off the coast of Tino Island.
This gem of the Gulf of Poets, usually inaccessible as it is a military area, can be admired from the sea in all its grandeur, with the white lighthouse overlooking the cliffs and the remains of the ancient monastery dedicated to Saint Venerius, the patron saint of the Gulf.
Here, as the sun sets and the sky turns shades of red and gold, an aperitif is served on board: selected Ligurian wines paired with local delicacies. A toast suspended between sea and sky, in front of one of the most fascinating and secret corners of Liguria, to experience an authentic and romantic moment

The last stop of our tour takes us to the small and enchanting Tinetto Island, a strip of rock reaching out into the open sea, guarding ancient ruins and a timeless spirituality. Here, the sunset reveals itself in its purest form: the sun sinks directly into the sea, painting the horizon in shades of red and orange and turning the island’s silhouette into an enchanted scene.
The silence surrounding Tinetto, broken only by the sound of the waves, creates an intimate and contemplative, almost mystical atmosphere: the perfect place to end the journey, embraced by the poetry of the Gulf of Poets
