Outstanding - Outstanding experience with Giacomo. We booked very last minute - on the same morning - and Giacomo had the boat ready in no time (however, we were travelling off-season...so you probably won't find any availability come june). The tour was awesome and Giacomo's historical knowledge gave a unique feel to it, talking us through the history of various castles and villas. No doubt in reccomending this to others!

best experience in Italy - The best experience in Italy we could have had! Giacomo is a great host and captain, and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip through Portofino. The boat is great, with plenty of space, and the aft platform is ideal for diving or just relaxing with your feet in the crystal blue waters. I highly recommend it!

Amazing!! - This tour was exactly what we were looking for! The perfect mix of history, culture, sightseeing and relaxation! We boarded in Portofino and headed to the Cinque Terre - the weather was perfect for the cruise (and that surely helped). Our skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable about the villages we were passing and he conducted the boat with ease. Surely a must do experience in northern Italy!

Well worth the price! - We had a blast with Jack as our captain! Perfect seas and even better service. The boat was comfortable and stable - and my girlfriend gets seasick easily - so I can guarantee. Jack is great, gave us loads of information regarding the local area and amazing suggestions for what to do the days after the excursion. Also, super handy to have his number for when we visited Milan - he had amazing recommendations for that as well! All in all, well worth the price!

Memorable experience in Portofino - Surely one of the most memorable experience we’ve ever done whilst abroad. The guide was great, knowledgeable and accommodating. The boat was perfect for our family of 6 and the total price is excellent. Considering that the fuel, the drinks and the towels you probably won’t find a better deal in the area. Absolutely recommend if you’re travelling with family and kids!

Highlight of our trip! - Great day on the boat. Easy pick up right on the dock in Rapallo and beautiful trip around to Santa Margherita, Portofino and to San Fruttuoso. The captain was alot of fun and gave us plenty of time to jump into the beautiful waters along the coast. Loved the day and would definitely do it again!

A Private Escape with Giacomo - A Private Escape with Giacomo. Our boat tour with Giacomo was everything we hoped for and more. With the boat being private for just our family, we felt completely at ease to enjoy the stunning coastal views. Giacomo was excellent—kind, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. Our stop in Portofino was magical, with the chance to swim in the crystal-clear sea and see a wide variety of fish. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend four hours. We’ll definitely book this tour again on our next trip.

In Liguria, A Dreamy Afternoon - 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!
