Private boat tour in the Tigullio and in the Portofino area

Highly highly recommend this experience!! My husband and I went on the boat with my brother and sister in law and the 4 of us had the absolute best time - we cannot recommend this enough! Emanuele was an incredible skipper - communicative ahead of our booking, knowledgeable about the region and area, and flexible! We enjoyed focaccia, beer, and white wine looking at the beautiful coast and enjoying the amazing water. Thanks so much!!!!!

We spent 4 hours with Emmanuele, who explained the details of the Italian architecture of this beautiful coast, as well as many interesting historical details. He adapted to our wishes, even suggesting one last dip just before our return to the port. Drinks and focaccia on board the boat. I highly recommend it!

This trip was absolutely incredible. I loved how we could sort of go at our own pace and chose our own adventures. The host did an amazing job of pointing out landmarks of historical perspective and providing additional information. My kids all loved the snacks and coke. My husband and I loved the wine and beer. We had a great day at sea and I’d book this excursion again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I had the best day during our tour with Emanuele. The pick up was very easy in Santa Margherita Ligure. Emanuele was not only kind but also very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information on the various landmarks around the coast, and even after the tour ended, my husband and I continued to talk about all we learned. Emanuele also had wine and beer and delicious focaccia for us. We toured the coast line and often jumped into the water during both the scheduled stops and additional times to cool off. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun day on the Ligurian Sea!

Emanuele was an exceptional host and made our day exploring the Ligurian coast truly memorable. He picked my partner and I up in Santa Margherita Ligure before taking us to Portofino, San Fruttuoso, and Rapallo, finishing with a convenient drop-off back in Santa Margherita. What really set this experience apart was Emanuele’s extensive knowledge of the local area. His insights into the history and culture of each destination added so much depth to the tour and made every stop even more enjoyable. We had an incredible day from start to finish and couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. If you’re considering exploring the coast by boat, this experience is absolutely worth it.

This was an amazing experience. Emmanuel was a fantastic guide and anticipated all of our needs. He was super flexible with the day’s activities. Would highly recommend and would go again.

We had an incredible boat tour with Emanuele exploring the beautiful coastline of Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, and the surrounding Ligurian areas. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Emanuele was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared interesting stories and local insights throughout the tour, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. The views were absolutely stunning, and seeing Portofino from the sea was unforgettable. My whole family had an amazing time and agreed that this was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Emanuele made us feel welcome and relaxed, and his passion for the area truly showed. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We highly recommend Emanuele to anyone visiting Portofino or the Ligurian coast.Hopefully we’ll see you again next year.

We can't say enough good things about our private tour with Emanuele. The boat was great, the scenery was spectacular & Emanuele was a super knowledgeable guide. 10 out of 10 experience and one we will do again when we return.

This was our second time with Emanuele! We absolutely loved our first boat tour with him so we knew this was a must do on our trip back to Santa Margherita. He gave us the most delicious focaccia, beer, and wine while also telling us some very interesting history about the area. His tour was very personalized to what we wanted to see and he gave us snorkel and swim gear too. This remains to be a highlight of our trip!

Wonderful day on the water with Emanuele! Our family of four enjoyed a visit to Portofino and a swim in the bay of San Fruttuoso. Emanuele told us a lot about the area and was so nice and easy to talk to. His boat is very comfortable, with a shaded area in the back and an open lounging area in the front. He provided us with wine, beer, water , delicious focaccia and pizza. He also has snorkeling equipment for anyone who is interested. Before the tour, he messaged me with the exact details of our meeting point (a short walk from our hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure) and was very responsive to my follow up questions. We did a 4 hour tour in the afternoon and it was perfect- I was tempted to book a repeat tour the next day. Highly recommend!!!
