About this tour
A 2.5-hour coastal boat trip departing from Portofino with a maximum of 12 passengers, navigating between San Fruttuoso and Camogli. You'll cruise past dramatic cliffside terrain, pastel-painted fishing villages, and Mediterranean scrub whilst enjoying drinks and snacks aboard. The skipper and assistant handle navigation, leaving you free to absorb the Ligurian landscape—a quieter alternative to shore-based sightseeing.
Highlights
- Dramatic limestone cliffs rising straight from turquoise water
- Anchor near San Fruttuoso's secluded abbey and pebble beach
- Camogli's narrow pastel buildings stacked above the waterline
- Optional snorkelling gear available; €15 mask and €9 snorkel
- Complimentary water, soft drinks, wine, and light snacks
- Small group capped at 12 passengers—feels intimate, not crowded
What to expect
You'll board in Portofino and head east along the coast, passing hidden inlets and fishing villages inaccessible by road. The boat slows near San Fruttuoso so you can spot the submerged Christ statue and the clifftop monastery. Depending on sea conditions and time, you may stop for a swim or snorkel. The return leg takes in Camogli's dense harbour front before heading back to Portofino. Expect some boat motion; the Ligurian sea is usually calm but can shift quickly.
