Adriatic Coast Experience

Riviera Romagnola Half-Day Boat Tour from Milano Marittima

A leisurely voyage along the Adriatic, with local flavors, industrial wonders, and the chance to spot wild dolphins.


This Adriatic coast boat tour offers a relaxed and genuinely rewarding way to discover the sea-facing side of the Riviera Romagnola, from the lively beaches of Romagna to the quieter shores of Marche. Aboard the Motonave Ghibli, guests enjoy a half-day on calm Adriatic waters with no strenuous activity required.

The route takes the vessel past Cesenatico, a port town with a storied maritime history, and continues along a coastline dotted with beach clubs and family resorts that define the summer culture of this region. The pace is unhurried, allowing guests to absorb the panorama without rushing from one point to the next.

Out at sea, methane extraction platforms rise from the water off the Romagna coast, offering an unexpected industrial counterpoint to the sandy beaches onshore. The bar on board serves a curated selection of local Emilia-Romagna seafood, giving guests a taste of the regional cuisine enhanced by fresh sea air.

Tour Highlights

Cruise the Adriatic Sea aboard the Motonave Ghibli on a scenic half-day voyage.

Watch for dolphins that occasionally appear alongside the vessel in open water.

Pass close to active offshore methane extraction platforms and appreciate their impressive scale.

Sample a selection of local Emilia-Romagna seafood dishes prepared by the onboard bar.

Observe the distinctive beach landscape of both Romagna and Marche from the water.

Sail past the picturesque port and canals of Cesenatico as the tour heads out to sea.
