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 Itinerary
Guests board the Motonave Ghibli at the Milano Marittima dock on the canal side. Arriving at least 30 minutes before departure is required to ensure a smooth embarkation.
The vessel sets out from the pier and heads into the open Adriatic, passing Cesenatico and its recognizable harbor. The coastline unfolds gradually as the boat gains distance from shore.
The route approaches methane extraction platforms positioned off the Romagna coast. The proximity provides a clear sense of the scale and engineering involved in these offshore operations.
The boat's bar offers a sampler of local Emilia-Romagna seafood dishes during the voyage. This is a chance to experience the coastal cuisine of the region in its natural setting.
Dolphins are sometimes sighted playing in the waters of the northern Adriatic during the tour. While not guaranteed, sightings are a regular feature of the route in favorable conditions.
The Motonave Ghibli returns to the Milano Marittima pier to conclude the tour. Guests disembark at the same canal-side dock where the journey began.
