Luxury Charter Portofino

Portofino is the starting point for a different perspective on the Italian Riviera: bays, rocky promontories and seaside villages seen from the water. Luxury Charter Portofino offers private yacht experiences for a day, a weekend or a week, pairing a carefully selected fleet with attentive onboard service. The appeal lies in choosing not simply a destination, but the kind of time you want to spend at sea, from a coastal outing to a longer voyage.

The fleet spans power boats, motor yachts, larger yachts and classic sailing yachts. Among the listed vessels are WP58, Pershing 98 and Alalunga 108, alongside the classic sailing yachts Spartaco and Armelea. For couples or a small group drawn to traditional sailing, the latter category is worth exploring. Travellers can speak directly with the fleet commander when organising their experience, making this a useful opportunity to discuss the boat, route and preferred pace together.

For a locally focused itinerary, consider the Two Gulfs Experience, a private journey linking the Gulf of Tigullio with the Gulf of Paradise. Departing from Santa Margherita Ligure, it highlights Sestri Levante, Portofino, San Fruttuoso and Camogli, with scenic passages and swimming spots accessible only by sea. Its emphasis on an unhurried, personalised rhythm makes it particularly appealing if swimming and coastal scenery matter more than covering ground.

For a route further east, the Cinque Terre tour describes a journey through Sestri Levante, past Framura and Bonassola, towards the five villages; continuation to Porto Venere is available on request. Sunset and night cruises are also listed. Start with the coastline or occasion that interests you, then confirm the departure point and itinerary through the official website rather than assuming every experience leaves from Portofino.
