Itinerary
Meet the crew 15 minutes before departing time in Marina di Portofino by the Ristorante Cracco, from where the boat tour will start.
First stop will be the Portofino Lighthouse, located on the promontory of the Regional National Park. From the boat, you will have the chance to admire the beauty of this lighthouse from a privileged perspective: one of the most striking symbols of the area, perched on cliffs overlooking the sea.
Sailing towards San Fruttuoso, you will pass by the bay that houses the submerged statue of Christ of the Abyss, a bronze sculpture placed about 17 meters deep in the water. Created by sculptor Guido Galletti, it is one of the most famous attractions for diving enthusiasts and symbolizes a prayer for the sea and sailors.
Next, you will reach San Fruttuoso, a small bay tucked away in the heart of the Portofino Regional Natural Park, accessible only by sea or via hiking trails. Surrounded by pristine nature and majestic cliffs overlooking the sea, in San Fruttuoso you can admire its white pebble beach and its historic Abbey.
During the tour, a swimming and snorkelling stop may be provided depending on sea conditions and the crew’s discretion. You can relax on board while enjoying snacks and drinks served by the crew.
On the way to Camogli, you will pass by Punta Chiappa, a striking rocky spur that stretches out into the sea, creating a unique landscape. Once in Camogli, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this picturesque village, known for its pastel-colored houses, lively harbor, and delicious Ligurian cuisine, a symbol of local tradition.
Relax on the route back to Portofino while sipping some limoncello served on board by the crew. The tour ends after about 2 hours, returning to the initial meeting point.

I had the best time on the boat tour! I would have loved to have learned a little more about the history of the area but the hosts were very friendly and attentive. The swimming at Punta Chiappa was amazing and I loved seeing Camogli from the water. Overall, it was a great experience as a solo traveler!

Vale and Israel were phenomenal guides. We loved our time on this boat!
We are traveling with a teenager who was tired of seeing churches and museums. Perfect weather and very comfortable. Captain and crew (a lovely young lady) were most helpful. Another family with teens made for a great connection. We had a nice tour and an awesome swim. Would highly recommend for a relaxing day. Portofino was lovely too.
