How much do cruises in Portofino cost?

Prices vary by format and duration. Short snorkelling sessions in Paraggi Bay sit at the lower end, half-day and full-day cruises from Genoa are budget to mid-range, and premium options like a boat tour with a pesto-making class and lunch cost more because food and a guided activity are included.

About Portofino

Portofino is a tiny, car-free harbour where pastel houses ring a piazzetta and the only real way to see the coastline is from the water. First-timers get the full picture on a boat, whether that means a hands-on Portofino Boat Tour with Pesto Making Class & Lunch or a small-group run down to San Fruttuoso on the Small Group Boat Tour to Portofino & San Fruttuoso: Explore the Ligurian Riviera. Both let you approach the village and the marine reserve the way they were meant to be seen.

Frequently asked questions

Portofino has almost no road access and the coast between the village, Paraggi and San Fruttuoso is the main attraction, so a boat covers more in a few hours than walking ever could. Small-group and half-day cruises are the easiest introduction: you get the harbour views, a swim stop and free time ashore without navigating ferries or trails.
