Portofino, San Fruttuoso, the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets: the Riviera di Levante seen from the sea, just a few hours from Milan.
Portofino and the Cinque Terre
The Riviera di Levante is the closest seaside destination to Milan and one of the most elegant in Italy. Portofino, the headland with the abbey of San Fruttuoso, the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets are all within a few hours’ sailing.
The Cinque Terre, together with Portovenere and the islands of the gulf, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. From the sea you see the five villages one after another, with terraced vineyards running down to the water.
Departures are from Santa Margherita, Rapallo, Lavagna or La Spezia, depending on the boat. If you wish to continue west, the French Riviera is just one passage away.
The itinerary
A sample route: we build it around your days, the weather and what you want to experience.
01
Italy’s most famous piazzetta and the bay of Paraggi, with the clearest water in Liguria.
02
The abbey that can only be reached on foot or from the sea and, on the seabed of the bay, the Christ of the Abyss.
03
Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, one after another along the coast.
04
Portovenere, Palmaria island and Lerici, to end the day with dinner ashore.
The moment
An early-morning swim at San Fruttuoso, before the ferries arrive.
When to go
The season runs from May to September. May, June and September are ideal; in July and August it is best to set off early in the morning for the busiest bays.

A professional crew on every boat. And, on request, everything you need before and after embarkation.
Major events
Cannes, Monaco, the America’s Cup in Naples: from the sea or in the front row.
