So glad we did this.
It was an excellent day on the Ligurian Sea around Santa Margherita and Portofino. Guglielmo was a knowledgeable and amenable host making sure we had a memorable experience. Snorkeling to see the submerged statue at San Frutosso is not to be missed. We had an amazing and authentic Ligurian seafood lunch with an incredible view thanks to Guglielmo recommending and calling in our reservation. I Highly recommend if you like boating and swimming.

Magical Day!!
We had the most incredible day with ABC Portofino Boat Charters! Andreas was fantastic from start to finish—friendly, welcoming, and an excellent host. Our private charter was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We cruised through stunning scenery, stopped several times to swim in the crystal-clear water, and Andrea arranged a beautiful spot for lunch that made the day even more special.
Everything was seamless, relaxing, and unforgettable. It was truly a magical day and a memory our family will cherish for a lifetime. We can’t recommend Andreas and ABC Portofino Boat Charters highly enough!

Perfect way to explore Portofino
We had an incredible day exploring Portofino and the surrounding coastline. Our captain was fantastic… friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area. He shared fascinating history and pointed out landmarks we would have otherwise missed.
The highlight of the day was that he knew exactly where to take us for the most stunning swimming spots. My son absolutely loves to swim, and those stops ended up being his favorite part of our entire trip.
The boat was comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with drinks and snacks, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and memorable way to experience the Ligurian coast, we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.

Relaxing and exciting family boat experience.
Andrea was absolutely wonderful! We took a three hour tour on his gorgeous well maintained boat. Plenty of shade, beautiful swim stops and relaxing. We had our 8 and 9 year old girls with us. Andrea took them to find “treasures” under the sea and told us about this history of villages we boated past. Finished in Portofino at the most delicious restaurant, Trattoria Tripoli! Please do yourself a favor and get the grilled octopus appetizer. Incredible!
Grazie Andrea and Italy With Bella!

Great half day on the water with Guglielmo Guglielmo.
Guglielmo Guglielmo (Gugu) Gatti is a fantastic skipper for our family. He gave us an awesome boat tour of Portofino, San Fruttuoso Abbey and Camogli areas. We also had time to swim and snorkel. The boat was wonderful and also had a covered area for shade. He provided delicious focaccia bread, waters and wine. He is knowledgeable about the area and also gave us fantastic recommendations for other activities in the area and wonderful restaurants. We followed all of his suggestions and we enjoyed them. . We highly recommend this experience with Guglielmo.
