Half-Day Boat Tour in Milano Marittima, Riviera Romagnola
Description
Relax on a half-day boat excursion from Milano Marittima along Italy’s Adriatic coast. Cruise past industrial platforms and the beaches of Romagna and Marche, spending part of the journey tasting local specialties — and, with a bit of luck, you might even spot dolphins playing in the water. Your tour begins aboard the Motonave Ghibli, which sets sail toward the Adriatic Sea. You’ll enjoy views of other boats gliding by near Cesenatico. Discover the industrial side of Italy from a new perspective: offshore methane extraction platforms rise from the sea off the Romagna coast, and the boat gets close enough for you to appreciate their impressive scale. Emilia-Romagna’s cuisine offers many delicious seafood dishes, and the onboard bar serves samples of local specialties — perfect to enjoy as you breathe in the fresh sea air that enhances every flavor.

Beautiful mini-cruise in the Adriatic Sea; we visited the oil platforms and also the mussel farm. The most beautiful and playful part was feeding the seagulls. Standard aperitif, with a glass of wine and potato chips and fried anchovies, with the possibility of having seconds. Very fun and helpful crew; we danced together and had a lot of fun.
It was a very positive, very relaxing experience, in the middle of the big sea, amidst the fresh wind, under the blue sky, with music we all drink, dance together, we had a great time. High value for money, highly recommended to book in advance. All the staff were kind and welcoming, they offered us wine, drinks, water, even a plate of fresh anchovies and french fries, they even asked us for a second round, so sweet and generous.
Wonderful experience! We celebrated a bachelorette party and it was a truly unforgettable day. All the staff were very kind, helpful, and attentive to every detail. They involved the bride several times during the excursion, making her feel truly special. We sang, danced, visited the mussel farm, and saw the methane platforms: an original and fun experience. They served us water and wine at will, without any limit, in addition to an abundant fried fish and chips. They came by several times to offer seconds, showing great attention to all the participants. It is an experience I would definitely do again, even without having to celebrate a special occasion, because they are the ones who create the atmosphere and make the day a real party. Highly recommended!
Class. The pier is easy to find, the ship itself is top-notch, and the staff is as well. The tour itself is really awesome. You go out about 22 km onto the sea... a great experience, no question! Recommendation!
Great experience, for your information, food and drinks are only available on the return trip; for the trip there, you get a voucher for a drink at the bar.
It was incredibly fun, we would book it again anytime! Great crew, free drink at the beginning of the trip and on the return trip a large bottle of water and anchovies with fries and wine included, we also got seconds on food and wine. Dance and music at the end of the trip. Super atmosphere for everyone. You were also allowed to feed the seagulls. Price-performance ratio unbeatable. 3 and a half hours on the open sea. We were also allowed to take our 2 small dogs, mini Chihuahuas, with us. Many thanks for that. Really recommended!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed the 3.5-hour boat tour along the Riviera Romagnola and are completely thrilled. The entire organization was absolutely smooth and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone who wants to spend an interesting time on the water. A big thank you to the entire crew for this wonderful afternoon.
Boat with music+ bar (non + alcoholic drinks / granitas and snacks) Trip along coast then out to the gas rigs. Fresh fried fish and chips with white wine. Can always ask for more, as tbey overcook the amounts. Then a bit of in group dancing, led by staff. Good few hours spent
The boat tour was great and absolutely recommendable. The price-performance ratio is excellent. For 30 euros per person, you get not only the 3.5-hour trip but also a drink and food (fries with anchovies), along with water and wine with the meal. There was music playing on the ship. In the end, even the people danced. But of course, one did not have to. However, the atmosphere was really great. At first, we were concerned that with 100 people on the ship it would be quite cramped, but on the three decks, people spread out well, and it worked wonderfully. All age groups were represented, from young to old. The staff is very friendly. The restrooms on the boat were also fine and clean. Toilet paper, soap, and paper towels were available. The tour itself was also interesting. You first travel along the coast and then to the drilling platforms and the shellfish farm. Explanations are available in Italian, German, English, and French. It was also great that the ship was accompanied by seagulls. That was already spectacular. And then we also saw dolphins. Although we mostly only saw the dorsal fin and not the whole dolphin, it was still nice. The entire trip was simply amazing.
This was an absolutely brilliant boat trip. Thr staff on board were friendly and got a real party atmosphere after the meal. The food and drink was superb. Highly recommend
