Great Private Boat Tour
The tour was amazing with good weather! Lite bites and wine were provided, such a nice little touch when you’re sitting on the front of the boat just relaxing! My cousin and I loved every bit of it. We even learned some history and saw dolphins! I would do it again for sure!

A really wonderful afternoon spent with captain Lorenzo! He met my husband and I at the dock at exactly our designated time and was a very capable, knowledgeable and friendly guide. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had a blast exploring the coast, swimming and drinking prosecco - all while hearing the history, legends and folklore of each area. We highly recommend this tour and company - they were very user friendly and accommodated our needs for a last minute booking!

Boat Tour to Portofino and San Fruttuoso for Small Groups

Entertaining and Fun Afternoon
Lorenzo provided an informative and entertaining tour of the area. There were lots of stories, some rooted in truth and some in legend and tales. The weather was fantastic for mid September and the sea temperatures were ‘perfetto’ for jumping off the zodiac boat. We heard stories about celebrity summer homes, ancient buildings, and the inlet towns. The Christ of the Abyss statue was a sad story and beautiful dedication to those lost at sea.Lorenzo was also genuinely concerned and checked in on a couple people with sea sickness. The wind made the boat ride a little choppy but he managed it with ease.

We had the best day on our tour. It was a lovely ferry ride to Portofino and we learned a lot about the town as we walked around. Making the pesto was so much fun and it was amazing to eat the fruits of our labor.

Perfect day in Portofino!!
We had the most wonderful time celebrating my son’s 18th birthday with Emmanuele (Hope I spelled it right) He was so knowledgeable about the area and history. The focaccia and wine were a nice touch! We snorkeled, swam and relaxed as he guided us through the gorgeous coastline. Highly recommend!!

By far the best boat experience! It was not just a boat ride, it was a cultural experience boat trip. We learnt a lot from our captain Brian who explained the historical and side of the great views. It was an immersion in culture, history and of course the blue waters of Ligurian Sea! Highly recommended!

Google Maps takes us to the wrong meeting point. You must not go to the stop under the viaduct where the scooters are!When leaving the port, you must cross the street and the stop is located on the other side of the street..VERY BAD DIRECTIONS.YOU SHOULD WRITE BUS TO PORTOFINO. Or pick up the passengers at the exit of the boat

The ultimate Boat experience
Our day on the water with Captain Brian was truly the highlight of our time on the Ligurian Coast. From the moment we stepped aboard, everything was perfect. His boat was immaculate and thoughtfully stocked with water, towels, and everything we needed for a relaxing day.Captain Brian was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the coastline. He shared fascinating stories about the area, pointed out beautiful villas and historic landmarks, and made the entire trip both fun and informative. He was right on time, never rushed us, and even gave us an extra half hour so we could enjoy more swimming and snorkeling.We spent the afternoon swimming in crystal-clear water, snorkeling, enjoying wine and delicious Caprese sandwiches, and taking in some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. It felt like spending the day with a good friend who loves sharing his home with others.If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on the Ligurian Coast, I can’t recommend Captain Brian highly enough. Five stars all the way!
