About this tour
Three-hour evening cruise departing La Spezia that charts the Gulf of Poets towards Porto Venere and Palmaria Island. You'll watch the sun dip over the Ligurian Sea from the water with a drink in hand, local nibbles on a plate, and live music shifting from ambient lounge to upbeat dance as darkness falls. The boat carries you back to port by 22:30, having traded the harbour lights for starlight and conversation.

What to expect
You'll board at La Spezia pier at 19:30 and spend the first hour or so on deck watching light drain from the sky while acoustic or lounge tracks play softly. The crew serves your aperitif—a drink of your choice plus a box of Ligurian specialties. Once the sun vanishes, the energy shifts: the upper deck wakes up with dance music and movement, while the main deck remains a quieter lounge space if you prefer to sit and talk. The boat tracks along the coastline, giving you views of Porto Venere's cliffs and Palmaria Island. You're back ashore by 22:30.
