The route follows the whole coast of the Cinque Terre before reaching the Gulf of La Spezia, known as the Gulf of Poets. Portovenere is recognisable from the water by the church of San Pietro on its rocky spur and by Castello Doria above the colourful houses. At the foot of the church opens the Grotta Arpaia, also called Byron's Grotto.
Across a narrow channel from Portovenere lies Palmaria, the largest of three islands with Tino and Tinetto. Together with Portovenere and the Cinque Terre they are a UNESCO World Heritage site (1997). Only the full-day tour of 8 hours is offered for this route, because of the distance. Landing is not guaranteed and depends on the sea and on local rules, which the skipper knows; entrance fees and meals are paid on the spot and are not included.
Each card shows the boat, how many guests it takes and its price per boat, not per person. Fuel depends on the boat and is shown in each listing. Compare all the boats to Portovenere and Palmaria, see the port of Santa Margherita Ligure or read about the Cinque Terre boat tour.
