A soft wake parts turquoise water as the Giulietta mini‑yacht slips from Porto Mirabello, La Spezia. Salt air sharpens the pastel facades of Portovenere as the crew calls out short histories and good places to angle a camera. The boat threads between limestone cliffs and small islands; each turn reveals terraces of vine and olive clinging to steep rock and coves where the sea invites you to jump in.
