Private Sailing Day on the Italian Riviera with Wine

This private sailing day on the Italian Riviera begins at Marina di Lavagna and spends about seven hours on the water. The idea is an unhurried escape at sea, not an ordinary excursion, aboard an Elan Impression 384 sailboat.

The boat follows the coast up to the Portofino area and into the Tigullio Gulf. From the deck you may see Camogli, the bay of San Fruttuoso, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo, as sea and weather decide. Between the sightseeing there is time to sunbathe, swim in scenic bays and simply enjoy the rhythm of the sea.

Food is part of the day: lunch is served on board, followed by an aperitivo built around a tasting of local wines. Every drink is included, as are the music system, a shower and the fuel.

• Lunch plus a wine-led aperitivo
• Drinks for the whole day
• Swim stops in scenic bays of the gulf
• Towels are not included, so bring your own

It fits couples, families and friends travelling in small numbers who prefer a personal view of Liguria, far from crowded tours.
