Cinque Terre: Golfo Tigullio and Paradiso Full Day Private Boat Tour

Enjoy a full day at sea discovering two of the most evocative stretches of the Italian Riviera on this private boat experience through the Gulf of Tigullio and the Gulf of Paradise, accompanied by your own professional skipper. Departing from Portofino, the tour opens with views of its elegant harbor, pastel-colored buildings, and terraced hillsides that perfectly capture the Riviera’s refined character. Sailing toward Paraggi, the sea shifts into luminous emerald tones, enclosed by rocky cliffs and fragrant maritime pines, forming one of Liguria’s most recognizable bays.

Continuing along the coast, you pass in front of Santa Margherita Ligure, a graceful seaside town whose domes, villas, and waterfront gardens unfold beautifully when seen from the water. Gradually, the scenery becomes more rugged and intimate as the boat approaches Zoagli, where steep cliffs plunge into deep blue waters, revealing secluded coves and a raw, authentic coastline.

The route then opens onto Sestri Levante, famously known as the “town of two bays.” From the boat, you admire both the broad sands of the Baia delle Favole and the sheltered curve of the Baia del Silenzio, often listed among Italy’s most picturesque beaches. This tranquil setting offers the ideal moment to stop, swim, or simply take in the relaxed rhythm of the Ligurian coast.

As the day progresses, the cruise naturally transitions into the Gulf of Paradise, where rocky headlands and lush greenery replace the softer contours of Tigullio. This section of the journey reveals a more untamed side of the Riviera, defined by dramatic cliffs, open views, and a sense of timeless seclusion.

Returning toward Portofino, the experience comes full circle, having showcased the many faces of Liguria’s coastline: refined seaside towns, striking natural scenery, and the enduring allure of the Italian Riviera, all enjoyed from the privileged perspective of the sea.
