Highlights
Outing Highlights
Sunset at Sea
The defining element of the excursion is the light at dusk as the boat moves away from the harbor—an occasion to see the coastline and seaside villages under soft, changing colors.
Portovenere from the Water
Portovenere is best read from a distance: approaching the promontory by boat gives a clear sense of the town’s relationship to the sea and to the cluster of nearby isles.
A Circuit of Nearby Islands
The itinerary includes passage around the islands that sit off Portovenere — a chance to view varied shorelines and sea lanes without leaving the boat.
