Boat Cruise to Portofino in the Italian Riviera, Portofino

Enjoy a true Italian experience with a boat cruise along Portofino’s scenic coast and an Apertivo, the beloved pre-dinner ritual. After boarding your boat, you’ll make your way into the sea, viewing the naturally protected town and its surroundings from a unique perspective. Then, as you admire the impressive cliffs and pass secluded coves, you’ll enjoy a typical Apertivo consisting of a glass of wine and focaccia bread. 

As you glide across the water, you’ll stop to enjoy the scenic cove of San Fruttuoso, with its medieval abbey built right on the beach. Your captain is happy to drop anchor for a swimming and snorkeling break so you can view the “Cristo degli Abissi,” a famous underwater statue. Then you’ll reach Camogli, one of the most picturesque villages of the Italian Riviera. Enjoy its quintessential row of tall, colorful houses and the cozy fishermen’s harbor.
