      Best sunset tour ever
      We absolutely loved this sunset tour. It was a serene and unforgettable way to see Portofino's stunning coastline. The aperitivo was delicious, and the vibe on board was so laid-back and welcoming. Watching the sun disappear into the horizon with a glass of wine in hand was priceless.

      Highlight of our trip to Italy
      Highly recommend this company! Had an amazing sunset boat tour. The skipper was so nice and knowledgeable and it was very reasonably priced. They were flexible with what you could do on the boat tour, we decided to not stop for a swim. We had to change boats due to weather conditions per their recommendation and we ended up being really happy with the Salpa soleil 18. It was a beautiful boat and I appreciated their consideration for our safety and comfort. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip!

      The best in Rapallo.
      One of the most beautiful experience I’ve ever had, also the team was very professional and explained all details to us. Would definitely do it again. If you compare their boats with other companies, the boat we had was by far superior.

      Fantastic experience in Portofino.
      We rented the 2Bar rib for the full day and found a stunning place to visit. The boat is comfortable, spacious and incredibly efficient, comes with a cooler and snorkelling gear - which are a nice perk. The coast is beautiful and although the sea was a bit rough, the guy at check in recommended some good spots to take a break from the with and the sea. All in all a fantastic experience to complete our vacation in Italy.

      Could have been better.
      I would only recommend a half day rental and call ahead and ask about water conditions. Apparently a storm had happened a day or two before and seas were really rough. Wish someone had informed us about this and given us the choice to choose another day as we were in the area for a week and would loved to have gone on a calmer day if given the opportunity. We were told about this before we left with the boat but at this point it was too late. Only used two hours of full day rental and even that was pushing it. Snorkeling was not possible with the kids due to waves and boating wasn’t enjoyable. Asked to cut down to half day when we found out ocean conditions but was told no. Condition of boat was excellent and person who gave us the boat was very nice. Has the possibility of being nice but just call ahead to get sea conditions. Also area of boating isn’t huge so don’t really need a full day.

      Not the boat pictured
      This was a fun expedition, and we enjoyed it. Our skipper was a sweet young guy and did his best to show us a good time despite some unexpectedly gray weather (and a few drips). His historical knowledge wasn’t extensive, but our Italian is basically zero so all in all we got along just fine. The weather didn’t allow for swimming so we walked around Portofino for a bit instead. We did not go the full two hours, which wasn’t really explained. It’s important to note that the boat in the picture is not even remotely the one we were given. If you scroll through you can see some images of an inflatable background and this is what we got; the small speedboat version of a Zodiac. The seating area pictured was also nowhere to be found. There is small print that says other boat types might be used, and this trip is significantly cheaper than other similar tours. Should have known. So, if you’re up for some adventure (literally holding on to side straps while bumping over waves), go for it. If you had something more romantic in mind, this isn’t it. Also, the drinks didn’t include water and the focaccia was literally given to us in a grocery bag. It was soggy by the time we ate it and not particularly good.

      This was a lot of fun of you have an opportunity to go!
      Our family of four took the sunset tour with Jack who spoke English. He took us on the coast of the Gulf of Tullio and talked about all the different buildings and historical sights along the way. Jack was kind and took our photos against all the beautiful spots. We had an a bit of extra time at the end of the ride and he asked if we wanted to go anywhere else. My teenage girls said, “Can we go fast down the coast?!!” Jack was accommodating and drove us very fast over the waves which had the girls laughing and enjoying themselves! (Focaccia bread and drinks were provided.)

      I'll never forget this experience
      DO THIS SUNSET TOUR!! It exceeded all expectations and it was the perfect tour all around. The hosts are incredibly friendly and friendly to the point where you feel like you're talking to an old friend. So many interesting facts and conversations have happened that I would go out of my best to come back and take this exact tour again. My family really liked it and the refreshments were definitely on the next level. I'll never forget this experience. If you can do that, it's the possibility of a life! :)

      Spacious and efficient boat.
      Our half-day with the boat was fantastic. The boat was spacious and comfortable, super easy to drive and very efficient (spent only 20 euros on fuel). The coast is stunning and looking at it by the sea is the most wonderful experience.

    Our captain was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting stories and facts about the area. As we cruised along the stunning Ligurian coast, we were treated to breathtaking views of the rugged cliffs, picturesque villages, and crystal-clear waters. The captain tailored the tour to our interests, stopping at key points for us to swim, snorkel, and take in the scenery. We stopped at the enchanting bay of San Fruttuoso, where we enjoyed a swim and explored the abbey. The water was incredibly clear, perfect for snorkeling. We then docked at the charming fishing village of Camogli for a delightful seafood lunch. The fresh catch and local delicacies were a culinary highlight of the trip.

    Our expectations were all exceeded by this boat tour. The guide was excellent; friendly and laid back, he made sure we had everything we needed. We were able to unwind and enjoy the breathtaking scenery because we were the only ones on the boat. To end our afternoon, we made a stop in Portofino and had a refreshing swim in the sea. We had a great time watching the fish swim beneath us because the water was so clear. Without a doubt, we'll make another reservation when we visit the area!

    We truly enjoyed our tour in the Portofino Marine Park onboard the soleil 18. The dinghy is brand new and has everything you need to enjoy the time at sea. The area isn't massive, so the half day is perfect to enjoy it. Would 100% reccomend.

    A relaxing afternoon onboard a typical wooden boat: the best experience on the Italian riviera. Giacomo, our skipper, was kind and thoughtful and shared load of interesting anecdotes on Portofino and surroundings.

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a private boat tour in the stunning Portofino Natural Reserve, and it was an absolutely unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations and provided a perfect blend of natural beauty, luxury, and personalized service.
