About Genoa

Genoa's old port opens onto a coastline that shifts from working harbour to the protected waters of the Pelagos Sanctuary and the Gulf of Tigullio, so a day on the water here rarely looks like a generic boat trip. Whale-watching departures with a marine biologist on board sit alongside private runs up to Portofino, such as the Private Boat Tour in Tigullio & Portofino: Discover Breathtaking Views and Secret Bays, while longer days out reach the same coves by speedboat on the Private Speedboat Tour from Genoa to Portofino: Explore the Gulf of Paradise & Portofino Park.

Frequently asked questions

Prices vary widely by format. Shared whale-watching and half-day boat tours sit at the more accessible end, while private boat and speedboat charters to Portofino and the Tigullio coast are premium, reflecting a full crew and exclusive use of the vessel. Aquarium and museum combination tickets are a mid-range alternative.
