The experience

Three, four or six hours on the water. You pick the length that fits your day. The boat leaves Pesaro and heads toward Monte San Bartolo Nature Park, a protected stretch of coast accessible only by sea. A skipper who knows these waters steers you past the cliffs and into the quiet bays where the swimming stops happen, places landlocked visitors never see. The boat carries groups of friends, families and couples. The crew handles the navigation and the timing.

At the protected area near the park, you drop anchor and swim in clear water at the foot of the cliffs. The aperitif comes on deck: a drink and the view, with music playing while you float between swims and rest. The skipper points out the geography and the best spots, but the day is built around the water and the quiet, not a running commentary. Stops for swimming and relaxation are the core of the tour, broken up by the boat moving between bays.

The fuel surcharge is included in the price. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller, and they need to sit on an adult's lap underway. Service animals are welcome. The boats are fitted with attention to detail, and the skipper speaks English or Italian depending on the group.

How long does the boat tour last?

The tour runs 3, 4 or 6 hours depending on which option you book at checkout. All three follow the same route to Monte San Bartolo and the hidden bays. The longer tours allow more time for swimming and relaxation between stops.

What is Monte San Bartolo Nature Park and why can you only reach it by boat?

Monte San Bartolo is a protected natural area on the coast between Pesaro and Gabicce, with cliffs rising directly from the sea. The park's shoreline has no road access, so the boat is the only way to reach the swimming coves at its base.

Where do you swim during the tour?

You swim in the protected area at the foot of Monte San Bartolo Nature Park, where the boat anchors in clear water. The skipper chooses the stops based on conditions and the group's preferences, moving between the most beautiful bays along the route.

What does the aperitif on board include?

The aperitif is a drink served on deck while you're anchored or between swims, paired with the sea view and music. The fuel surcharge is included in your tour price.

Can you bring infants or young children on the boat?

Yes, infants and small children can come along. Infants can ride in a pram or stroller before the boat leaves, and they must sit on an adult's lap once underway. The tour is suitable for all fitness levels.
