Rental in Portofino

The charm of Portofino and its promontory is known around the world — and there’s no better way to experience it than from the sea, in total freedom.
With Motonautica Ligure, you can rent a boat in Portofino and the surrounding area: we offer the perfect vessels to explore the coastline of Portofino, Paraggi, San Fruttuoso, and the entire Gulf of Tigullio at your own pace.

Imagine having a boat all to yourself, cruising between hidden coves and turquoise waters.
Departing from our dock in Rapallo (just a few kilometers from Portofino), you’ll soon find yourself in front of the iconic seaside piazzetta — but far from the crowds. Admire the colorful houses and luxury yachts from the water, with a unique perspective.
From there, aboard your rented dinghy or motorboat, you can reach Paraggi Bay to snorkel among the fish, then head towards the Portofino Marine Protected Area.
As you hug the coast, each inlet reveals a new wonder: emerald and cobalt blue waters, pine-covered cliffs, and, if you’re lucky, schools of fish darting beneath your boat.

Thanks to our boats available with or without a license, no one is left out: even without experience, you can rent a license-free dinghy that’s easy to handle and ideal for safe coastal cruising.
Before departure, we’ll explain everything you need to know — from basic controls to navigation rules within the protected area — and we’ll provide you with a map of the most beautiful spots.
If you prefer a larger boat or simply want to enjoy your day worry-free, we can arrange a local skipper for you — someone who knows every hidden corner of Portofino and can guide you while sharing insights and stories.

With your rental boat, you can also reach nearby San Fruttuoso and anchor offshore for a swim near the famous Abbey, or continue on to Camogli for a panoramic view of both sides of the Portofino Promontory.
The possibilities are endless, and the day is yours to shape: have lunch onboard with focaccia and trofie al pesto bought that morning, enjoy a nap rocked by the waves in a quiet bay, and maybe toast the sunset with Portofino in the background.

Our goal is to help you experience Portofino in the most authentic and unforgettable way.
Forget crowded ferry schedules — with Motonautica Ligure’s boat rental service, you have complete freedom.
And when you return to Rapallo at the end of the day, your heart full of memories and your camera full of photos, you’ll understand why seeing Portofino from the sea is truly unmatched.
