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

Spend a full day exploring two of Liguria’s most captivating coastal areas, the Gulf of Tigullio and the Gulf of Paradise, on an elegant private boat led by your dedicated skipper. The experience begins in Portofino, where the pastel harbor and terraced hills introduce the classic beauty of the Italian Riviera. As you cruise toward Paraggi, the water becomes a brilliant shade of green, framed by cliffs and maritime pines that create one of the region’s most iconic bays.

The journey continues along the shoreline toward Santa Margherita Ligure, a refined seaside town whose domes, gardens, and colorful façades can be admired directly from the sea. From here the landscape shifts gradually into a more dramatic and intimate coastline. Approaching Zoagli, the cliffs descend sharply into deep blue water, revealing quiet coves and the rugged charm that characterizes this stretch of the Riviera.

Your route reaches its widest panorama in Sestri Levante, the celebrated “town of two bays”. From the boat, you enjoy views of the sandy Baia delle Favole and the enchanting Baia del Silenzio, considered one of Italy’s most beautiful beaches. This is a perfect setting to pause, swim, or simply appreciate the calm atmosphere of Liguria’s coastline.

As the afternoon light changes, the tour flows naturally into the Gulf of Paradise, where green headlands and rocky cliffs create a striking contrast to Tigullio’s softer lines. Cruising here reveals a wilder and more authentic side of the Riviera, completing the journey with a deeper sense of place and scenery.

By the time you navigate back toward Portofino, the day has revealed the full spectrum of Liguria’s coastal beauty: elegant harbors, dramatic landscapes, and the timeless charm of the Italian Riviera experienced entirely from the sea.
