Description
Romance on the River – Private Cruise with a Traditional Boatman
Start your evening adventure with a private skipper aboard a historic wooden boat, steered by one of Florence’s iconic “Renaioli,” the city’s answer to Venetian gondoliers. Drift gently along the Arno, passing under the city’s most famous bridges, including the legendary Ponte Vecchio, while admiring Renaissance landmarks like the Uffizi, Palazzo Corsini, and centuries-old churches.
Tuscan Tastes Afloat – Wine & Bites on the Arno
As Florence is bathed in the golden hues of sunset, indulge in a curated onboard aperitif. Delight in regional wines such as Vernaccia, Vermentino, Bolgheri, or Chianti DOCG, paired with Tuscan finger food—truffle-topped crostini, fresh buffalo mozzarella with tomato, schiacciata, and Capocollo sandwiches finished with olive oil and balsamic. A flavorful interlude in an unforgettable setting.
Evening Splendor – Twilight Views and City Reflections
As daylight fades, cruise along admiring the panorama of Florence shimmering in the soft light of twilight. From Ponte alla Carraia to Santa Trinità, admire the city’s noble facades reflected in the calm surface of the river. A tranquil and evocative way to enjoy the beauty of Florence from a unique and enchanting perspective.
