The Wild Isles & Poet's Gulf
La Spezia • Palmaria Island • Tino & Tinetto • Byron's Grotto • Portovenere
This charter is an immersion into the raw, protected beauty of the Gulf of Poets. We leave the mainland behind to explore a chain of wild islands—Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto—each a sanctuary of natural history, before culminating in the iconic splendor of Portovenere.
Your Journey
Gateway to the Gulf of Poets
Our journey begins from La Spezia, setting course across the legendary Gulf that has inspired poets for centuries. You'll admire the rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and picturesque coastal towns that define this breathtaking region from the best possible vantage point: the sea.
The Three Isles: Palmaria, Tino & Tinetto
We anchor off this stunning, untouched archipelago. Palmaria, the largest, offers pristine beaches and hiking trails, while Tino and Tinetto are rugged, protected reserves. This is the perfect spot for a private swim in clear waters, far from the crowds.
Marine Sanctuary & Byron's Grotto
The waters here are rich with marine life. As we explore hidden grottoes, including the famed Byron's Grotto, we'll be in a prime area for spotting dolphins. We'll pause for you to snorkel, swim, or simply relax on deck with a cool drink.
Portovenere: The Clifftop Icon
Our final stop is the unforgettable village of Portovenere. Dominated by the majestic Church of San Pietro perched on the rock, this historic harbor is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore its medieval streets before we enjoy a sunset cruise back.
