How does a private boat charter from Santa Margherita Ligure work?
A private boat charter from Santa Margherita Ligure is a trip with a professional crew reserved for your group only, departing from the town's harbour in the Gulf of Tigullio. You choose the boat, the date and the length of the trip, pay the BlueKeys share online and the balance to the operator. Trips start from €2,137. By sea Portofino is about 3 nautical miles away, San Fruttuoso about 6, the Cinque Terre about 20 and Portovenere about 30.
Santa Margherita Ligure is the elegant harbour town of the Gulf of Tigullio, on the Italian Riviera east of Genoa. Pastel houses with green shutters line the seafront, the Basilica of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia stands behind the harbour and Villa Durazzo looks down on the bay from its gardens. It is one of the most convenient places to board a boat on the Riviera di Levante.
The coast road to Portofino is narrow and busy in summer; by sea it is a short, scenic cruise past the bay of Paraggi. Beyond Portofino the promontory falls steeply into the sea and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, reachable only on foot or by boat, sits in its own cove. The promontory is a marine protected area: the crew knows where boats may stop and where you can swim.
On a full day you can head south-east along the Riviera di Levante to the Cinque Terre: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, seen from the water as they were built to be seen. Further on lie Portovenere, with the church of San Pietro on its rocky point, and the island of Palmaria just across the channel. The Cinque Terre, Portovenere and the islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Every trip is private and comes with a crew, so no boating licence is needed. You choose the boat, the date and the length of the trip on BlueKeys and pay only the BlueKeys share online; the balance goes to the operator. Prices, guests and durations depend on the boat and are shown on each listing.
