Amazing Boat Trip!!

Published on Aug, 2024

Our trip was amazing yesterday our Captain so so accommodating and brought us around and let us hang around certain places as long as we wanted. He also told us about amazing places to visit including a nice long hike up the mountain. We went swimming snorkelled and saw so so many fish with his help. Highly recommend this trip for either a romantic couple or just friends! Would definitely book again! Thank you!!

Absolutely incredible and...

Published on Aug, 2024

Absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience. We went with Stefano who was so incredibly kind helping us with the snorkeling equity and guiding us through everything. Rocco was extremely helpful in setting everything up. We began the day boating from Genoa to San Fruttuoso and we snorkeled in the marina to see the Christ of the Abyss statue as well as the marine life and coral in the area. It was so magical and going during the week was definitely a good plan to avoid the crowds. We then ventured to Portofino where we were able to explore the town for as long as we liked. Very cute town with lots of shopping opportunities and amazing gelato. We then went to Camoglia which was definitely a highlight. We had an incredible late lunch at a seaside restaurant and were able to explore the little town for as long as we wanted. In between each stop we had opportunities to swim from the boat, wherever we wanted, which was the most incredible part. It was truly such a memorable experience to be able to swim in the sea off the Italian riviera. We really appreciated how self managed the tour was. We were able to stay in every location as long as we wanted to and Stefano really helped us get the most out of every experience and location. I highly recommend this option when staying in Genova and wanting to explore the Italian riviera.

A Beautiful Boat Day!

We had such a wonderful day on the boat with Rocco. He was so kind and accommodating to whatever we wanted to do with our day. We were able to make many stops and see many beautiful places along the coast, we stopped in SUCH a beautiful place for a swim. It was also really nice to get to chat to Rocco and share about our lives in Italy & at home! He was welcoming and kind and really let us lead the day with some great suggestions from him! I would highly recommend booking him for your next boat day!

A fabulous day on the water.

Published on Jun, 2024

We had a great time on this tour with Rocco. The boat was clean and there was enough room for 7 of us. He communicated well with us over WhatsApp to be sure we knew the meeting time and location. He arrived a few minutes early and we were on our way right on time. The small villages and/towns we visited were spectacular. The first village, about 45 min away, was San Fruttuoso, which is only accessible by boat. So charming. We had a glass of wine and walked around for about 30 min. We then went to Portofino and spent about 75 min there, where we ascended to and toured Castello Brown, which was a 5 euro entrance fee. The castle, especially the views down to the port, was worth the entrance fee. Back in Portofino, we walked around a little; mostly high end shops and restaurants. At Rocco's recommendation, we had a later lunch at the next stop, which was Camogli. We spent about 2 hours here, had a nice lunch and shopped a little. On our ride back to Genoa, Rocco stopped at a swim spot and a place we could jump off some rocks/cliff. The water felt nice but it was a little rough, and by rule he can only boat about 50m from the rocks/shore, so you must swim in. The ride to/from was nice. It got a little windier/rougher as the day went on. Rocco adjusted his speed so we didn't get bounced around too much. My sister did get a little sea sick despite taking dramamine, so consider this if you are prone to sea sickness. If you sat in the middle or front you stayed dry, but the ride was a little rougher. If you sat in the back, it was less rough, but you would get some sea spray. We've rented similar boats before so we knew what to expect. Back in Genoa, Rocco was kind enough to drop us a little closer to our ship to reduce our walk back. All the way around, a great day on the water. Rocco was very friensly, and he spoke English well enough to communicate the necessities and to recommend various sites and/or things to do in each port. You will not fully experience Genoa's beautify by land, so I highly recommend a boat tour. This fit us perfectly, as we could stay in each spot as long or short as we wanted, and not be on someone else's time.
