Portofino Private Boat Tour | Italian Riviera Experience

A Portofino private boat tour is the most refined way to explore the Italian Riviera. Sail along the promontory, swim in crystal-clear waters and discover hidden coves between Santa Margherita Ligure, San Fruttuoso and Camogli.

Choose between a half-day or full-day experience and select the boat size that best fits your group and expectations.

Half-Day Portofino Boat Experience

In a half-day excursion, cruise around the Portofino promontory and admire dramatic cliffs and elegant villas overlooking the sea.

Stop near San Fruttuoso to view the famous underwater statue of the Christ of the Abyss. Enjoy swimming or snorkeling in protected coves.

If desired, step ashore in Santa Margherita for a short walk before returning.

Full-Day Portofino & Camogli Cruise

A full-day private boat tour allows you to include Camogli, located on the other side of the Portofino cape.

You will have time for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing in scenic coves. Lunch can be arranged in seaside restaurants accessible by boat.

The Tigullio Gulf reveals its most authentic beauty when viewed from the water.
