Why choose us? Because no other boat in Numana can offer the same tailor-made and authentic sailing experience, without sacrificing comforts, like cushy seats, food, music, and a freshwater shower. This is both an old-fashioned and classy choice for an unforgettable tour. Our boat can accommodate up to 6 passengers, which means that every trip will be intimate and planned according to your own desires. We will be free to look for the quietest spot to drop anchor, away from the most populated beaches. Along the way you'll be able to see how a traditional sailing boat is rigged and manoeuvred, and if you want you'll be able to try your hand at the helm. It will be my concern to make sure that you will fondly remember your time with us for years to come. It's the little things that turn a generic boat trip into an experience to treasure. It's not just what you see: it's how you experience it that matters.

Inclusions: The lunchtime mixed platter, with local meat cuts, cheeses, and Ascoli olives, will be prepared by the specialty grocery store Delizie Marchigiane the best place in Numana for local produce., The sunset fish/sushi appetiser will be prepared with local and fresh ingredients by the Marta Street Food restaurant located in Numana's square., Use of Snorkelling equipment, You will be able to use an inflatable mattress to float on the waves, or to reach the beach.

I love a good walking tour! It's the first thing I like to do when arriving to town since it gets you oriented to the major history and then gives you ideas of stuff to see.. We packed so much into the tour. The Square, government buildings, sculpture, orthodox church and mosque - wow so cool, and lots of other little things we eyed up to go back and enjoy.. Rate this one an "A"!
