Itinerary
Sailing in the Gulf of Poets opens a unique scenery between sea and nature. Named after poets such as Lord Byron who celebrated its beauty, this stretch of coastline is characterised by calm waters, cliffs and villages overlooking the sea. During the tour you can also observe the typical mussel farms of the gulf, a historical tradition of the La Spezia area. Rows of buoys emerging from the water mark the plants where the famous La Spezia muscles are grown, appreciated for their quality and intense flavor. From the sea you discover not only the landscape of the gulf, but also one of the most authentic and representative activities of the local tradition
Sailing along the coast you will meet the beautiful Palmaria Island, the largest island in the Gulf of Poets, characterized by high cliffs, wild nature and crystal clear waters. From the sea you can admire spectacular rock faces and stretches of unspoilt coastline, difficult to reach from land. Along the perimeter of the island there are also small natural caves and hidden coves, shaped by wind and waves over the centuries. These suggestive corners, visible above all from the boat, offer unique views between rock, light and sea, making sailing around the island a fascinating experience full of spectacular views
Sailing along the coast opens before your eyes one of the most suggestive views of Liguria: Portovenere, an ancient fishing village at the entrance of the Gulf of Poets. From the sea you can admire the characteristic tall and colorful houses overlooking the marina, built next to each other like a wall on the sea. Continuing towards the tip of the promontory appears the spectacular Church of San Pietro, built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the water and considered one of the most iconic views of the Ligurian coast. Just above the village dominates the view the imposing Doria Castle, an ancient fortress that for centuries protected the country. From the sea you can also see the cliffs and natural caves of the area, including the picturesque Byron Cave, linked to the English poet Lord Byron, who found inspiration here between the intense blue of the sea and the rocks carved by time.

This is an experience you do not want to miss. We had the BEST TIME! Captain Jack -Zach- Sparrow- made our day an event. We went to many swimming and jumping areas, a beautiful town with amazing food and just a day of relaxing and fun. He had prosecco and beer waiting for us. A lovely fruit platter and afternoon snacks. We also got a bottle of homemade wine as a thank you gift. We strongly suggest this tour.
Thanks a lot Christine...it was a pleasure to stay all day long with you....you are very lovely group of friends and i hope to see you again!!!
We had an incredible boat tour with BW Boats departing from La Spezia, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The day included beautiful stops at swimming spots and hidden coves with crystal clear water. We saw tons of fish while swimming, and the scenery along the coast was absolutely stunning from start to finish. A huge thank you to our captain, Jack, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone had a great time. The boat itself was wonderful, comfortable, and had options for shade whenever we needed a break from the sun. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks available throughout the day, with options for both adults and kids, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Parking was simple and convenient, which made the whole experience stress free from the beginning. Highly recommend BW Boats if you’re visiting the La Spezia area. Great scenery, great swimming, a beautiful boat, and outstanding hospitality. We would absolutely do it again.
Thankssssss......it was a magnific day, perfect sea, perfect company: the right mix to enjoy, swim, and smile..... thanks to you again for coming and for the beautiful words......
