Private Yacht Tour of the Gulf of Poets on the Maiora 20 Fly
Board the Maiora 20 Fly at Porto Mirabello, La Spezia, at 10:00 a.m. and return at 5:00 p.m. — a 7-hour private yacht day exploring the Gulf of Poets aboard a 20-metre motor yacht that combines generous deck spaces, a panoramic flybridge and exceptional on-board comfort, with an intimate maximum capacity of 12 guests. Completely refitted in 2024, the Maiora 20 Fly is the refined choice for groups who want the full Gulf of Poets itinerary without any compromise on the quality of the experience.
The tour opens on the eastern shore with Lerici, the medieval village dominated by the Castle of San Giorgio, before continuing south along the coast to the hidden hamlets of Fiascherino and Tellaro — two of the most unspoiled villages in Liguria, best reached and appreciated from the sea. The route then heads towards the open waters of the southern gulf and the UNESCO-listed archipelago of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
Portovenere, Byron's Cave and Going Ashore on Palmaria Island
The final destination is Portovenere, where the Maiora anchors in front of the Church of San Pietro, built in the 13th century and framing the famous small cove known as Byron's Cave. Throughout the day, multiple stops for swimming and snorkelling are scheduled in the most beautiful coves of the gulf — the elongated transom of the Maiora makes entering and exiting the water effortless, turning the stern into a natural platform for swimming and relaxing at the waterline. Snorkelling equipment and stand-up paddle are included on board.
A key feature of this tour is the option to go ashore: guests may disembark on Palmaria Island for a typical local lunch (optional, not included) and/or land in Portovenere for a walk through the picturesque alleys of the village.
On board, a hostess is included alongside the skipper, together with snacks, soft drinks, towels and a welcome aperitif — a service standard designed for guests who expect every detail to be taken care of from the moment they step aboard.
Itineraries are subject to weather and sea conditions. The skipper may modify the route at any time to ensure the safety of all guests. Punctuality at boarding and disembarkation is required: delays will incur a charge of €120 per hour. In case of unjustified delay, the captain reserves the right to depart without the late guests.
