A truly unforgettable experience! The Sunset Boat Tour was the perfect opportunity to do something different with friends, away from the usual routine. Sailing at sunset, with a good cocktail in hand and music in the background, made everything even more magical and relaxing. We were able to admire the Gulf from a perspective that I personally love: from the sea. Seeing the coast glow orange was just spectacular. The atmosphere was cheerful, convivial and at the same time intimate. A perfect mix of fun and nature. I recommend it to those looking for a light but special experience, ideal for enjoying the sea, laughing with friends and living a sunset that you will not easily forget.

From Spezzina, I must say that this experience was what was missing in summer evenings! The sunset view over the open sea, behind the church of Porto Venere is magical and unforgettable. All accompanied by music and cocktails. Super recommended, both for tourists and locals.

We took part in a boat tour departing from La Spezia to discover Portovenere and the whole wonderful gulf, and we can only define it a magical experience! On board we immediately felt welcomed: the professional, kind and always smiling crew made everything even more special. The tour started in the late afternoon, sailing along the coast between the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, with an exciting stop right in front of picturesque Portovenere. The sunset that reflected on the sea created a dreamy atmosphere, perfect to start the aperitif: fresh prosecco and a relaxing playlist kicked off a truly unique evening. The dinner on board was the real surprise: fresh dishes and served with great care. All with the coast lit up in the background and the sea breeze that made everything even more impressive. And then... the party! After dinner the music turned on, the tempo picked up and the boat turned into a small floating disco. Dancing under the stars, with the moon reflecting off the sea, was the perfect way to end the evening.
