Sailing trip on the Secche della Meloria with aperitif and lunch

About this tour

Spend seven hours sailing the Pisan Coast aboard a traditional vessel, navigating the San Rossore natural park before anchoring at Secche della Meloria, a marine protected area. An eleventh-century Pisan tower marks these shallow waters, where you'll have five hours to explore the seabed and relax. The day includes an aperitif during the outbound sail, lunch served aboard with sea spaghetti, and all snorkelling gear provided.

What to expect

The morning begins with a slow river passage through San Rossore's protected wetlands, where you'll spot wild vegetation and natural features. Once at sea, you'll sail north along the coast for about an hour, sampling an aperitif as you go. The boat anchors at Secche della Meloria in shallow, clear water—the protected shallows where Pisa's medieval tower still stands. You'll have roughly five hours to swim, snorkel, use the SUP boards, or simply float and recover. Lunch arrives mid-afternoon: simple seafood pasta eaten on deck with views across the water. The return journey covers the same route in reverse.
