Half Day Private Boat Tour of the Gulf of Poets on the Nimbus W9
Departure ports: La Spezia, Lerici or Portovenere.
Time slots: morning 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. or afternoon 2:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.
Max capacity: 6 guests — fully private charter.
A 4-hour private boat tour of the Gulf of Poets aboard the Nimbus Weekender W9, available in two slots: morning (10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.) or afternoon (2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.). Maximum 6 guests on an exclusive private charter, departing from La Spezia, Lerici or Portovenere. For travellers with half a day free, or those who prefer a focused, unhurried experience over a full-day itinerary, the Nimbus W9 half day is the most flexible option on the gulf.
The route covers the full eastern arc of the Gulf of Poets, beginning with Lerici — the medieval village watched over by the Castle of San Giorgio — and continuing south along the coast to the small hidden villages of Fiascherino and Tellaro, two of the most quietly beautiful communities in Liguria and best appreciated from the sea. The tour then heads towards the UNESCO-listed archipelago of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, three spectacular islands of different sizes and entirely unspoiled by development.
Portovenere, Byron's Cave and Swimming Stops Along the Way
The final destination is Portovenere, where the Nimbus anchors in front of the Church of San Pietro, built in the 13th century and positioned dramatically at the tip of the medieval promontory above the small cove known as Byron's Cave. Throughout the 4 hours, multiple stops for swimming and snorkelling are scheduled in the most beautiful coves of the gulf — the Nimbus W9's manoeuvrability and modest draft allow it to reach sheltered anchorages that larger vessels cannot access.
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.
