Hidden bays

Charming seaside villages

Santa Margherita Ligure

Nestled between Portofino and Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure is the vibrant heart of the Riviera. Known for its elegant promenade, pastel-colored villas, and lively marina, it’s the perfect starting point for exploring the Ligurian coast. More than just a departure port, Santa Margherita offers a blend of authentic local life and timeless Italian charm.

Portofino

Famous worldwide yet still intimate in scale, Portofino is the crown jewel of the Italian Riviera. Its colorful harbor, luxury boutiques, and stunning views from the Castello Brown make it a destination of timeless allure. Arriving by sea reveals Portofino at its most authentic, just as fishermen and travelers have for centuries.

Punta Chiappa

A hidden gem along the Portofino promontory, Punta Chiappa is a rocky point that stretches into the deep blue sea. Known for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere, it’s a favorite stop for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the untamed beauty of the Riviera away from the crowds.

Camogli

Known as the ‘City of a Thousand White Sailing Ships,’ Camogli is a charming fishing village with a rich maritime history. Its pastel-colored houses line the seafront, creating a picture-perfect view best admired from the sea. Strolling through its narrow streets or enjoying fresh seafood by the harbor reveals the authentic soul of the Ligurian coast.

San Fruttuoso

Tucked away between Camogli and Portofino, San Fruttuoso is a secluded bay accessible only by sea or hiking trails. Here, a medieval abbey rises dramatically from the shoreline, framed by turquoise waters and lush hills. It’s also home to the famous Christ of the Abyss statue beneath the waves—an unforgettable spot for swimming and history alike.

The perfect Portofino boat trip with Gabri We had the most wonderful boat trip with Gabri. We were three friends, and he was incredibly friendly, flexible, and attentive from start to finish. He adjusted the itinerary to our wishes, took us to a stunning swim spot that we never would have found on our own, and even recommended a fantastic restaurant afterwards.The boat Is gorgeous and comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we felt completely taken care of the whole time. It was the highlight of our stay on the Ligurian coast, and I can’t recommend Gabri enough if you’re looking for a memorable, personal boat experience in portofino.

Beautiful cruise with lovely boat and captain Gabri took my family (2 adults, 2 teens) out on his beautiful wooden boat for a three hour afternoon cruise from Rapallo to Portofino. I booked him after our photographer recommended him to me. He was easy to communicate with, and flexible on the time and locations. He was punctual and prepped a delicious spread of fresh fruit, delicious foccacia, and a variety of chilled drinks. We loved the swimming spot he took us to, where we saw fish, and later appreciated the fresh water shower on board. His family has lived in the area for many generations, so he is very familiar with it. We had to take a little pause because I am prone to seasickness, but his advice helped take care of it pretty quickly. It was an amazing way to see the area from a different perspective, and Gabri is truly such a nice person. He also recommended a little food boat/truck in Santa Margherita Ligure that was so delicious. Thanks Gabri!

Most Magical Experiane Along The Ligurian Coast We had the most magical sunset cruise with Gabriele. From the moment we stepped foot on his ascetically appealing boat he made us feel so special. Swept us away into the beautiful Ligurian coast and popped a delicious bottle of prosecco for us. Offered us focaccia and the most ripe grapes you’ve ever had. He gave us a tour of the coast giving us tidbits of information along the way but also giving us our own time to just relax and enjoy the view. We loved chatting with him. He was so warm and genuinely nice and wanted to learn about us as well. We truly had the most incredible sunset cruise celebrating my husband’s 40th birthday. Our time was so incredible that we actually booked him for the next afternoon after finding out his afternoon charter had canceled. The next day was equally as magical. He brought us to the most stunning places and dropped us off for a delicious lunch at an authentic restaurant off the beat and path. It was exactly what we wanted. A perfect day boating; sunbathing, jumping into the sea, snorkeling, soaking up all that Italy has to offer and of course more Prosecco. We have truly made a friend in Gabriele and his beautiful wife and hope to have them visit us in New York this winter. Do not hesitate to book Gabriele’s charter whether you’re looking for a sunset cruise or a morning/afternoon charter. We got to experience both and they were equally as incredible and what truly makes the experience memorable is Gabriele himself!!

Incredible day with Gabrielle on his wonderful boat tour. Paradise on the Ligurian Sea This was my family’s favorite day in Italy. We spent a few days in Santa Margherita prior to attending a family wedding in Florence. We knew little about the area but wanted to enjoy some summer sun on the Italian Riviera. I found Gabrielle on Instagram and reached out to him to inquire about his personalized boat tour of the Ligurian coast. He was incredibly fast to respond and we arranged a full day boat tour for us. Words can not express how amazing Gabrielle is as well as his beautiful boat. We felt like royalty as we cruised so g the coast, into secluded coves, stopping for a swim in the Ligurian sea, all while Gabrielle told wonderful stories about the home we were seeing or local customs. His passion for his home, the sea, and his boat made us feel so honored to spend the day with him. He provided wine, fresh fruit, and incredible focaccia bread for the ride. He then pulled up dockside to a fabulous restaurant in Portofino. By the end of the day, we made a new friend in. Gabrielle and felt like we had fully immersed ourselves in the best that this area had. It was pure magic.
