  • 5Bliss from the boat, in the water & at the villages.

    Ale was great, very friendly & informative. He made lunch reservations for us ahead of time. We were relaxed, amazed by the beauty of the coast, the water was warm and swimming off the boat was the best part.

  • 5A fabulous day on the water

    My friend and I spent the day on the sea with Rocco. He was an amazing host. He took us to interesting areas to swim and snorkel and gave us a Genoa history lesson as well. More importantly, he was flexible to let us plan the day as we went. We stayed longer in some spots and skipped a few too. Overall a fantastic way to spend the day and escape the heat.

  • 5Great day on the Ligurian sea with Rocco!

    We had a wonderful day cruising the coastline— with special visits to a monastery, a delightful hike and shopping in Portofino, a lovely lunch—and multiple options to swim and snorkel throughout the day! Rocco was a professional captain—and was an excellent navigator. He has a great understsnding if Genoa-/ the history and the sea. We had a terrific day and I’ll be brining my friends on this tour when I return to Genoa.

  • 5Felt like we were in a dream

    We booked the Sunset tour and travelled from Genoa to Portofino with stops on the way for swimming , apertivos and dinner in Camogli. Rocco's expertise behind the wheel was evident but we most enjoyed his friendliness and knowledge of the local history of this beautiful area. We were even fortunate to see a flying fish and a pod of dolphins near the boat as we left Portofino. Rocco helped our family create a wonderful, magical memory during a special family vacation. We highly recommend.

About Genoa

Genoa, the great port of the Ligurian coast, is a city of steep medieval alleys, grand palaces and an old harbour once ruled by merchant families.

Genoa curves around a deep natural harbour with mountains close behind, so its streets climb steeply. It was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the merchant families built palaces along Via Garibaldi and the Strade Nuove, now listed by UNESCO as the Rolli palaces. The cathedral of San Lorenzo has a striped black-and-white façade, and the Lanterna, an old stone lighthouse, marks the western end of the port.

Top-ranked sights in Genoa: Genoa Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Lorenzo), Piazza de Ferrari, Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale).
