What to expect
You'll board a private motorboat at Genoa's historic port with a professional skipper who knows the waters well. The boat moves steadily along the rocky Ligurian coast, stopping at spots inaccessible by road—small beaches, rocky outcrops, and the protected marine reserve around Portofino. You can swim and snorkel where the water's clearest. The rhythm is unhurried; you set the pace. Sunset cruises shift the mood: golden light on the cliffs, fewer tourists, quieter anchorages. Expect to spend several hours on the water with breaks for swimming and exploring.
