Parco Acquatico Le Caravelle

What Parco Acquatico Le Caravelle does

Parco Acquatico Le Caravelle is a seasonal water amusement park located in Ceriale, in the Savona province of Liguria, Italy, operated as part of Costa Edutainment S.p.A., an Italian entertainment group that also runs Acquario di Genova, Acquario di Cattolica, Aquafan and other leisure properties. The park operates annually from approximately June 6 to September 6, serving families with children, tourists visiting the Ligurian coast, and corporate and group event clients. Its core offering is a portfolio of more than 15 water attractions including Toboga slides, the 400-meter Rio Bravo rapids, Multipista (5 lanes), Kamikaze, wave pool, Kids Area with 5 dedicated slides, the Slow River relaxation attraction, and two beach volleyball courts.

The business is monetized through a mix of one-time admission tickets (€29.50 adult full-day, €24.50 reduced, with afternoon and special-category tiers), subscription-style season tickets (€149-179) and weekly passes (€85), and a range of ancillary per-use services including umbrella/sunbed rental (€12/couple), parking (€6), lockers and wardrobe, hot showers, food and beverage, and a differentiated Dog Hotel service (€10/day). A separately ticketed adult-only wellness area, Sorgente del Cuore, layers a premium relaxation product onto the core attraction. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through an owned online ticketing platform, supplemented by a dedicated travel-agency portal, local retail points of sale, group bookings, and bundled packages with the Costa Edutainment network via C-Way, plus transport co-marketing with Trenitalia.

Operationally, the company runs as a single-site physical venue with a small permanent team augmented by seasonal staff, including workers with disabilities. Underlying technology consists of conventional water-park ride infrastructure, a transactional ticketing and booking stack, and standard digital marketing channels rather than proprietary AI or software platforms. There is no public listing, no disclosed funding history, and no reported M&A activity specific to the park.
