4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 2 more

Sailing in these places is a unique experience; the noise of the wind between the sails and the water along the hull help us to reconnect with ourselves and the environment according to a slower pace and on a human scale, a real therapy.
As a sailing instructor and marine biologist I am ready to accompany you on this adventure aboard Ivory, a beautiful and safe boat.
For those interested, it is possible to organize 1) whale watching trips in search of the whales and dolphins that inhabit these waters and 2) practical sailing exercises.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any need.
See you soon,
Nicolò.

    Baia Di San Fruttuoso

    We will then sail to San Fruttuoso, a magnificent small bay located within the Marine Protected Area of Monte di Portofino. In the bay is the famous Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a magnificent example of medieval architecture. Also on the beach there are several small typical restaurants. It is not allowed to drop anchor in the bay, to be able to stop you must moor at one of the buoys of the Marine Protected Area at a cost varying from 30 to 100 euros depending on the season, an expense that is definitely worth supporting given the wonder of the place.
