Yacht Cruise & Urban Trekking: Between Sea and City

Experience the perfect rhythm of the Conero Riviera: the elegance of the sea in the morning and the authentic soul of the city at sunset.
Why choose between a private yacht tour and a cultural walking experience when you can enjoy the best of both worlds in a single unforgettable day?

Your experience begins aboard a private yacht, departing from Marina Dorica while the sea is still calm and the morning breeze is fresh.
Cruise south along breathtaking stretches of coastline inaccessible to most traditional tours.

Admire the dramatic cliffs of Colle Guasco, crowned by the Cathedral of Ancona, and the charming Fishermen’s Caves, with their colorful doors carved into the rock.
Pass by the mysterious Trave rock formation, the legendary Bay of Portonovo, the beautiful Seagulls Beach, and finally the iconic Due Sorelle beach, symbol of the Conero Riviera.

Between refreshing swims and crystal-clear waters, the crew will pamper you with a delicious aperitivo on board and a traditional lunch featuring local specialties.

In the afternoon, as the city cools and the light turns golden, you’ll discover a completely different side of Ancona.
Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, enjoy an exclusive urban trekking experience through panoramic viewpoints, hidden corners, and the monumental heart of the city.

Walk through the historic upper town until you reach the spectacular Passetto staircase, then descend directly into the cliffside to explore the historic Fishermen’s Caves of Passetto and admire the magical reflections of the sunset over the Adriatic Sea.

No special experience is required: this experience is designed for anyone who loves the sea, culture, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic local atmospheres.

Bring your swimsuit, your curiosity, and your desire to explore — and let yourself be guided through a perfect day between the sea of Conero and the timeless beauty of Ancona.
