Highlights
Sailing in these places is a unique experience; the noise of the wind between the sails and the water along the hull help us to reconnect with ourselves and the environment according to a slower pace and on a human scale, a real therapy. As a sailing instructor and marine biologist I am ready to accompany you on this adventure aboard Ivory, a beautiful and safe boat. For those interested, it is possible to organize 1) whale watching trips in search of the whales and dolphins that inhabit these waters and 2) practical sailing exercises. Do not hesitate to contact me for any need. See you soon, Nicolò.

Itinerary
As soon as we leave the port of Chiavari we will sail to Santa Margherita, a magnificent bay famous for its fabulous villas and boutiques.
After Santa Margherita we will sail to Portofino, the ancient fishing village famous for its exclusive boutiques and restaurants with fish specialties overlooking the Piazzetta and for its castle and villas surrounded by greenery.
We will then sail to San Fruttuoso, a magnificent small bay located within the Marine Protected Area of Monte di Portofino. In the bay is the famous Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a magnificent example of medieval architecture. Also on the beach there are several small typical restaurants. It is not allowed to drop anchor in the bay, to be able to stop you must moor at one of the buoys of the Marine Protected Area at a cost varying from 30 to 100 euros depending on the season, an expense that is definitely worth supporting given the wonder of the place.
We will sail to Golfo Paradiso, where the magnificent fishing village of Camogli is located, famous for its colorful fishing houses. It will also be an opportunity to taste the famous Ligurian focaccia or a fish fry prepared by one of the fishing boats in the port.

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).
