Cesenatico: Panoramic Tour of the Adriatic Coast aboard Motonave Tritone
A legendary cruise along the Romagna Riviera, where the sea, music, and fresh seafood come together in an unforgettable afternoon.
The Adriatic Coast panoramic cruise aboard Motonave Tritone is a celebrated seafaring tradition that has welcomed guests every summer since 1981, tracing the most scenic stretches of the Romagna coast between Cesenatico and Pesaro.
Known affectionately as the Ship of the Sun, this vessel has earned its reputation through decades of lively on-board experiences combining panoramic coastal scenery with local food, Sangiovese wine, and a festive atmosphere that few maritime excursions can match.
The Righetti family, who have operated this floating institution for over forty years, bring a genuine warmth and local knowledge that transforms a simple boat trip into a genuine Riviera celebration. Guests return year after year not just for the views, but for the sense of occasion that comes with every departure.
This Wednesday-only itinerary covers a sweeping arc of coastline, pausing at some of the Adriatic's most recognisable destinations including Rimini, Riccione, Cattolica, Gabicce, Baia degli Angeli, Castel di Mezzo, and Pesaro. The route delivers a panoramic postcard of the Riviera from the sea, a perspective simply unavailable from the shore.

Itinerary Overview
The cruise sets off from in front of Hotel Miramare on Viale Carducci, the historic meeting point for every Tritone sailing. Guests settle on deck as the vessel clears the harbour and the Romagna coastline opens before them.
Sailing south, the boat passes the broad beaches and seafronts of Rimini and Riccione, two of the Adriatic's most iconic resort towns. The view from the water reveals the full sweep of the Riviera in a way the promenade never can.
The route continues toward the southern end of the Emilia-Romagna coast, touching the picturesque bay of Gabicce and the beautiful Baia degli Angeli. These quieter stretches offer some of the most scenic coastal panoramas of the entire trip.
Passing the rocky promontory of Castel di Mezzo, the Tritone reaches Pesaro, the cultural and maritime capital of the Marche Adriatic coast. Guests enjoy the panoramic finale before the vessel turns northward for the return leg.
The return journey offers another pass along the Riviera with music and refreshments still in full swing on board. The cruise concludes at Molo Est in Cesenatico, completing a nearly four-hour sea adventure.
