Private sunset boat tour with Ligurian focaccia and wine.
Description
Come and enjoy a wonderful sunset boat tour aboard my typical Ligurian gozzo; this is the best time of the day for a boat ride, when the sun begins to set on the horizon, the city lights come on, all the boats return to port and the seagulls return to reclaim their sea; spend an evening in complete tranquility, while we sail in the beautiful setting of the Portovenere archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will be enchanted by the shades of sunset reflected on the high cliffs of these islands. You can dive into the golden waters for a refreshing swim and, while the sun dips into the sea, enjoy an aperitif where you can taste local specialties, such as the typical Ligurian focaccia, accompanied DA music and good wine, all while admiring the wonder of nature that stands on the horizon, like a beautiful fiery painting.

Itinerary
Palmaria is the first and largest island of the Portovenere archipelago; here you will see the ruins of Torre Scola, an ancient fortress in the middle of the sea, we will explore coves and beaches accessible only by boat, where their clear and calm waters will tempt you for a refreshing swim, and you will be fascinated by its imposing cliffs and hidden caves.
Tinos, the second of the three islands, will show you its lighthouse; you will discover the legend of the Saint who protects the island, while admiring the ruins of ancient monasteries and war stations.
Tinetto, the last and smallest island, is accompanied by Stella Maris, the statue of the Virgin Mary, which stands on a rock in the middle of the sea, as if to protect the passing sailors and guardian of these islands.
Behind the promontory of Portovenere hides this picturesque bay, which bears the name of the famous English poet because of a fascinating local legend.
In front of Portovenere we will take a break where you can relax and taste on board a typical Italian aperitif with various types of focaccia, prosecco, soft drinks and other snacks, and then watch the sunset behind the church of San Pietro that stands overlooking the cliff.

A great time with a very nice guide. A 3-hour cruise surrounded by beautiful scenery. It was a sublime evening
This was amazing! Ivan was a wonderful host and guide, he knew the area so well. His boat is gorgeous and the coastline stunning. Swimming and snorkling was so clear. Great value, and would do this nightly if possible!
