Highlights
- Numana Beach Alta - The two nicest and smaller beaches underneath the town of Numana are La Spiaggiola and the Spiaggia del Frate. We’ll sail past them immediately after leaving the Numana port.
- Spiaggia Urbani - Sirolo’s most popular beach
- Spiaggia di San Michele - Sirolo’s Largest beach, immediately before the rugged coastline of the Monte Conero
- Spiaggia dei Sassi Neri - The best beach in Sirolo, with white pebbles and crystalline water.
- Beach of the Two Sisters - The most famous wild beach in Le Marche, easily recognizable thanks to the two triangular sea stacks (the titular “Two Sisters”) that raise from the water, this small pebble beach just under the Monte Conero is only accessible by boat.
- the Gulls Beach - Probably the most beautiful, secluded cove of the Conero Riviera
- Portonovo - The most popular destination north of the Monte Conero, this bay has been a mooring point for sailors for centuries. We will stop next to the Il Trave reef, and you’ll have the occasion to jump in the water and explore it with snorkelling equipment.
- Spiaggia Mezzavalle - The Conero Riviera’s largest public beach, free from beach clubs and big crowds, it’s the destination for those who want to spend the day on a wild beach, between the sea and the Mediterranean brushes that overlook it.
At the end of the Mezzavalle beach, closing the bay of Portonovo, there’s a long reef called Il Trave (the Beam). This 800-meters long rock formation closes the bay and creates a quiet area which will be perfect to stop and have a refreshing swim. Swimming next to il Trave is also the best option if you desire to do some snorkelling, as you’ll have the chance to see some marine life in the nooks and crannies of this huge underwater rock formation.
What's Included
- Complimentary bottled water
- Access to snorkeling gear
- Local Verdicchio wine and craft beers served with lunch
- Use of an inflatable mattress for floating or beach access
- Delicious lunch included
Additional Information
Why opt for the DonMar? Simply put, no other vessel in Numana delivers the uniquely tailored and genuine boating experience - without compromising on luxuries such as plush seating, food, and a freshwater shower. It is a refined yet traditional choice for a memorable journey.
My vessel can comfortably hold up to 6 guests, ensuring each voyage is exclusive and crafted to meet your preferences.
While the tour outline serves as a general framework, within the 3.5 hours spent at sea, you have the liberty to select the ideal place to anchor for a swim, distanced from the bustling beaches.
Provided the weather conditions are favourable, you’ll have the opportunity to witness how a classic sailing boat is rigged and operated. And if you fancy, you could even take a turn steering.
My commitment is to make certain that your time aboard the DonMar is etched in your memory for years to come.
- Not recommended for travelers who easily feel sea-sick

Truly Excellent! - This was an incredible experience.
The boat is called DonMar and it is a historic boat that has been prevailing over 55 years!
It was incredible to be able to sail on DonMar.
Fabio, its owner (3rd generation and its sailor was very attentive, genuine, professional, and knowledgeable. His guided tour while sailing made our experience truly remarkable.
My wife and I had a great time!
The food from a traditional shop was very tasty, and the wine we had was also excellent, perfect temperature!
The timings allocated to swim were also just perfect.
A great experience that I would definitely recommend and do it again!
Thank you Fabio!
We wish you all the best :)

10/10 recommend! - From communication before the excursion to being offered restaurant recommendations for the next leg of our journey, we couldn’t have asked for more. The boat was beautiful, knowing its history in the family made it special, and the views and time at sea were great. A highlight for our family!

Idyllic day sailing on the Adriatic - We spent a wonderful day sailing on the Adriatic with a wonderful host, Fabio. The day was perfect...sunny and windy enough to carry us effortlessly along the coast of the Riviera Conero. We had been many times to the March region and had never sailed there before. So if you are planning a trip, we would highly recommend sailing with Fabio for a tour of the coast. The Marche is a fascinating area of Italy and Fabio's knowledge of the history enriched our experience.

Perfection on the Adriatic! - Neither my friend nor I had ever spent time on the Adriatic side of Italy, and I thought being on the water would be part of an excellent introduction. I have never been more right. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Captain Fabio speaks perfect English and is a genial and generous host on a boat that has been in his family for decades.
Somehow the day we reserved was between storms, so we met Fabio at the marina following his excellent instructions, and for three hours we lived another life, rich with family history and stories of the coastline from Numana to Ancora. There was no wind that day, but we still enjoyed traveling along the coast on the classic sailboat, taking a dip and eating lunch in an beautiful setting in perfect company.
If you are thinking about booking the trip, book it!
Bonus tip: After taking a little trip up to nearby the National park (unfortunately closed, but with hiking trailheads visible from the road), we found our way to the Ristorante Le Torri. Fantastic view, skilled staff and incredible food. Do that, too!

Perfect day on the Adriatic!! - This was probably the best tour I have ever been on. For under $100 per person you get 3.5 hours of sailing, swimming and snorkeling in the Adriatic Sea and food and wine (or soft drinks, water or beer)! Probably the best bargain in Italy. And the owner, Fabio, is wonderful! Pleasant, helpful and completely attentive to everyone’s needs. I have some mobility issues and he handled my problems with grace and care. If I was near Numana (Ancona) I would be a steady customer. I plan to, hopefully, go again. we had a wonderful time!!

A beautiful intimate sailing trip in the Conero - The most beautiful day out with the private sailing with Fabio. We left Numana in the morning and sauntered up the coast, and then caught the wind to sail back to port. There were 4 in our party and it was a peaceful and informative trip. A special family boat with much history to him and his family, which made you feel so welcome, almost as a friend! The lunch was local products and accompanied with local wine or beer as you preferred. I would not hesitate in recommending this as a small and intimate trip for a group of 4
