About the experience

Experience the magic of the Ligurian coast on a half-day tour that blends laid-back luxury, natural beauty, and iconic seaside charm—all from the comfort of a stylish 6-meter boat built for both relaxation and exploration. With room for up to 7 guests plus your captain, this sleek vessel offers everything you need for a few unforgettable hours at sea: a spacious open deck, convertible dining and sunbathing areas, a swim platform with easy access to the water, a portable fridge stocked with fresh drinks of your choice, Bluetooth audio system, stainless steel sunshade, and more.

Your journey begins in Santa Margherita Ligure, a lively and elegant Riviera town where you'll meet your captain and set off along the sparkling Tigullio Gulf. First stop: the world-famous Portofino, a glamorous harbor village known for its colorful buildings, high-end boutiques, and timeless allure. From there, cruise to the secluded bay of San Fruttuoso, where the historic abbey and the underwater statue of Christ of the Abyss offer a unique snorkeling experience in calm, turquoise waters. Finally, head to Punta Chiappa, a dramatic stretch of rocky coastline perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or just soaking up the Mediterranean vibes before heading back to port.

This half-day cruise is perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking to explore the coast in style and comfort. The boat’s 40-horsepower Yamaha engine provides a smooth, efficient ride, and your experienced captain will customize the experience to your preferences—whether you're after a peaceful escape, a scenic adventure, or a bit of both. With all the essentials included—fuel, captain, towels, snorkeling gear, and refreshments—this tour is a stress-free, soul-refreshing way to discover the heart of the Ligurian Riviera.

We had the absolute best experience! The boat was able to meet us in a smaller town nearby and was clean and right on time. Well stocked with towels and beverages. The best part was our captain Ivan who was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to learn a lot about the different towns and go for a couple beautiful swims.

Well-maintained boat, lots of freedom to sail where you want to go. Had lunch in Portofino, anchored between the mega yachts, swam, in short, had a wonderful day!
