Slip away from the bustle with Conero Funboat’s private coastal tour in Numana. Sip an aperitif aboard as you take in iconic beachscapes and pristine bays along Italy’s Adriatic shore.
The Adriatic coast around Numana, in Italy’s Ancona province, invites travelers to step aboard Conero Funboat for a panoramic boat tour that skillfully blends relaxation with spectacular natural scenery. Operating out of the Marina in Numana, Conero Funboat offers an exclusive boat experience where guests glide past some of the Marche region’s most striking coastal features. This is not your average sightseeing ride; with a knowledgeable Capitano at the helm, the tour includes an onboard aperitif that complements the calm rhythm of the sea and the stunning views.
The route highlights include the Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle, renowned for its crystalline azure waters and twin rock formations that rise sharply from the shoreline. The quiet Baia di Portonovo offers a contrast with its sheltered bay and surrounding Mediterranean scrub, dominated by Aleppo pines and cork oaks. This mosaic of beaches and bays is framed by the rugged cliffs of Monte Conero, a limestone massif that pushes abruptly into the Adriatic, giving this stretch its unique geology and diverse marine habitat.
Conero Funboat’s off-season tours add a layer of exclusivity, cutting through the calmest waters with fewer crowds and cooler air, making the experience as much about mindfulness as it is about scenery. The guiding Capitani share insights about local history and natural landmarks, grounding the journey in place and story.
For travelers searching for a serene maritime adventure along Italy’s lesser-known eastern coast, Conero Funboat delivers an intimate and refined way to engage with this extraordinary landscape. By booking a private vessel, guests enjoy a personalized connection to the Adriatic’s light, landforms, and sea life—capturing the essence of this unique coastal destination.
