Great trip, with helpful staff. Punctual departures from all locations. The boats is close enough to the shore so you can see all the beautiful places along the coast. It was a real pleasure to go on this trip. We made two stops on the journey for dropping off & picking up passengers. it would have been nice to spend a little longer in Portofino to be able to explore as there was only time to have a quick walk, have a sandwich & a drink but it was still a lovely trip

This was a magical experience seeing the stunning coastline from the water. We had an expert guide with us who talked us through all of the local nature and sea life. I highly recommend this experience especially with children
