BEST TIME TO VISIT

There is seldom a bad time to book a private yacht charter of Portofino. The shoulder months of April and September, with its crisp morning and evening breeze, lights up in the midday sun. Dropping into the best restaurant is a breeze, and the warm hospitality runs all year round.

May to September, the crowds sail in and out, the village ignites, and the Piazzetta sprawls with tables of people eating and drinking in the sun. The environment is electric, and the beautiful sunkissed people are out to play.

Activities & Experiences

With such an idyllic scene from the water, it’s tempting to take in the Portofino views lazily from your deck, but there is much you will definitely want to see.

San Fruttuoso Abbey

The San Fruttuoso abbey (Abbey of San Fruttuoso) sits on the bay of a small cove in Portofino, inaccessible by road.

The only way to reach the Abbey is from the water or long hiking trails, making it a perfect stop on your boat charter of Portofino. In front is a quaint little beach and other ancient architecture to adore as you sail in and walk around.
