The boat experience was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Santa Margherita/Portofino! Communication was great and the tour was the right balance of information and leisure. Would highly recommend!
Amazing private sunset boat tour along the Portofino coast with food and spritzs! Our captain was so nice and informative, and even let us stop in Portofino for a bit! Would highly recommend!
The highlight of our trip! We had such a wonderful time on board. Our skipper was very friendly and informative. He was very flexible and allowed us to customize our itinerary. At one point we dropped the anchor and spent time playing cards on board rather than disembarking and it was perfection! Would highly recommend
We had an amazing time on our sunset boat tour with Giacomo. He picked us up in Rapallo and he talked us through the history of Rapallo and Santa Margherita on our way to Portofino. After heading into Portofino for a very special moment, we were given Prosecco and Giacomo took us to some amazing spots to see the sunset and take photos!
A lovely experience…relaxed, easy, comfortable and great knowledge along the way.
Loved this boat tour during sunset! We went to Portofino and had some time to swim in the sea. The captain brought delicious focaccia with some prosecco or beers. Me and my friends had a lovely evening.

Wonderful and unforgettable experience with the best captain imaginable. Three of us rented a boat for half a day in June for a girls weekend away. We explored the coast around Portofino. Our host Luca was kind enough to tell us multiple stories about the history of the coats and its attractions. We stopped for a swim and had a relaxing journey back. Highly recommended experience.



The captain was great! Very knowledgeable about the local area. The company worked with us to pick up / drop off just minutes from our hotel.
Had a great experience! Kept us up to date on changing weather conditions and managed to get us out even though our schedule wasn’t flexible. A great knowledge of the area and a beautiful tour or the Italian riviera. This was the private tour we’d been searching for. Additionally we had a great boat captain, parts of the ride were a bit choppy due to the winds but he drove the boat with skill to keep us dry and comfortable! Highly recommend!
Very good, modern and convenient boat, great skiper. We had a half-day tour and liked it a lot ! Highly recommend Venti Boat Charter company.
Jake was a great captain on our trip and we highly recommend the 4 hour cruise. The views from the water of Santa Margherita, Paraggi, Portofino, and around the high cliffs to San Fruttuoso are just amazing. We did this excursion on the last day of our vacation and it was a great way to complete our visit to this beautiful area!!!
Perfect way to explore coastal edges of Portofino to San Margherita to Rapallo and back to the natural reserves and Camogli. Absolutely beautiful and unforgettable views and endless dips in the sea! And, the captain was knowledgeable and super friendly ♥️🇮🇹. I highly recommend this tour!
Great experience with skipper Felipe that guided us through the beautiful Golfo del Tigullio. Highly reccomend Venti Portofino
We had a wonderful boat ride. The guide was friendly and a pleasure to ride with. We loved that the boat was private and just for our family. We stopped in portofino and were able to swim in the sea. We saw all kinds of fish. It was a lovely way to spend 4 hours. I would definitely do it again. Thank you for making our day in Liguria fantastic.
Easy to do business with this company. Jack explained how to drive the boat and use the equipment as well as the areas around Portofino in excellent English. Very helpful and polite. We had an amazing day on the water. The fuel in the end cost an additional €70, so factor that into the overall cost when planning your trip. It has to be paid in cash at the end of your trip depending on how much you use.
