About this tour

Your skipper navigates to secluded anchorages where you'll swim and snorkel in crystalline water, then enjoy dinner aboard as light fades across the Ligurian Sea. The boat carries all safety gear, refreshments, and snorkelling kit, with a crew that knows every cove and current along this stretch of coast.

What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained vessel equipped for comfort and safety. The crew brief you on snorkelling spots and safety procedures, then motor out toward the islands. Depending on conditions and your preference, you'll stop to swim and explore underwater before anchoring for dinner. As the sun lowers, the light turns golden on the limestone cliffs. Food and drinks appear—expect simple but fresh fare, likely local catches or antipasti. You'll motor back to port as dusk settles, arriving around nightfall. The boat rocks gently; if you're prone to seasickness, bring your own remedy.
Good to know
Bring a beach towel, sunscreen, and a light windproof layer if travelling April–May or late September–October. Infants travel free in a pram or stroller. Public transport is nearby for arrival; confirm pickup arrangements. The boat has a working toilet but limited facilities.
