This is a restrained, seaside passage along the Conero Riviera aboard a shared Conero Funboat: a short, three-hour crossing that pairs dips from the boat in crystal-clear water with stops at cliffs and coves visible only from the sea, closing with an aperitivo served on board with local snacks and wines.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Beaches reachable only from the sea

The itinerary focuses on the Conero’s hidden coves and cliffs—the kind of beaches you can see only by boat, among them the iconic Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle and other secluded inlets along the Riviera del Conero.

THE WATER

Tuffi e soste bagno in acque cristalline

Multiple swimming stops are built into the crossing: quick, refreshing dives from the boat into clear Adriatic water are a central part of the experience.

THE STINT

Aperitivo a bordo

The outing ends with an onboard aperitivo—local wines and stuzzichini served on the boat—an easy, convivial conclusion to the swim-and-see itinerary.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

Three hours of low-key sea travel: the boat threads the Conero coastline, pulls up for swims in pockets of bright, translucent water and pauses at coves you cannot reach from land, with relaxed time on deck for conversation and an aperitivo before returning to Numana.
