The experience

The boat leaves Numana's port and follows the Conero coastline south, passing La Spiaggiola and the twin beaches of Numana, then Sirolo with the Grotta Urbani framing it. The route reaches Le Due Sorelle, the iconic twin rock formations, where you stop for photos, then continues to Mezzavalle, one of the Adriatic's most beautiful beaches and accessible only by sea. A second swim and the aperitif happen here: local wine, sparkling water, juices, and snacks (taralli, chips, peanuts) are served on the boat.

The skipper handles navigation and fuel. You choose the group size and duration at checkout: up to twelve people for three hours, or up to ten for two hours. Buoyancy aids are provided for adults and children. The guide speaks Italian and weaves in local stories and legends as you move along the coast, naming each beach and landmark: the Napoleonic fort built to block English ships, the Church of Portonovo built entirely of Conero stone, the wild moscioli cliffs (a Slow Food Presidium since 2004). Weather permitting, bathroom stops are possible at several points.

Infants can travel in a pram or stroller and must sit on an adult's lap. Service animals are welcome. The port of Numana has public transportation nearby. For mobility needs or disabilities, the operator asks you to call ahead so they can arrange a solution.
