Yacht Cruise and 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 one 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.

You will sail south along breathtaking stretches of coastline, inaccessible to most traditional tours.

Admire the striking 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 rock formation del Trave, the legendary Portonovo Bay, the beautiful Spiaggia dei Gabbiani, and finally the iconic Due Sorelle beach, a symbol of the Conero Riviera.

Between refreshing swims and crystal-clear waters, the crew will treat you to a delicious aperitif on board and a traditional lunch featuring local specialties.

In the afternoon, when the city cools down and the light turns golden, you will discover a completely different side of Ancona.

With the assistance of a local travel advisor, you will enjoy an exclusive urban trekking experience through panoramic viewpoints, hidden corners, and the monumental heart of the city.

You will walk through the historic center 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 skills are 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 sense of adventure, and let yourself be guided through a perfect day between the Conero sea and the timeless beauty of Ancona.
