What you can expect

Set off from the charming fishing village of Le Grazie and discover the Gulf of Poets from a unique perspective. During the tour, we will sail between Portovenere, the island of Palmaria, and the wonders of the La Spezia archipelago, crossing hidden bays, crystal-clear waters, and landscapes that can only be reached by sea.

The experience is designed for those who want to relax, swim in the Ligurian Sea, and experience the coast in an authentic way, away from the crowds. During the cruise, you can take swimming breaks, admire iconic views of the gulf, and enjoy an aperitif on board at sunset.

Brancüa offers several customisable experiences: morning swims, sunset aperitifs, sandwich-style lunches in the harbour, local food tastings, and private events designed for couples, small groups, and special occasions.

The crew also makes the experience unique: personnel qualified in rescue and first aid, a skipper with a boating licence, and local guides trained in the history, culture, and traditions of the area. An authentic and safe way to experience the sea, surrounded by nature, relaxation, and the discovery of the Poet's Gulf.
