Sunset Boat Cruise in Portofino with Bologna Tour

The Italian Riviera’s crown jewel, Portofino, offers more than just postcard-perfect views—it delivers an outdoor experience where the Mediterranean’s crystalline waters meet history and culture. Bologna Tour’s Portofino Sunset Boat with Aperitif captures this essence in a private, intimate setting that redefines coastal adventure. Departing from Portofino’s small harbor in Genoa, Italy, guests slip into an evening voyage that feels both exclusive and effortlessly scenic. As the boat glides past the rugged coastline, the iconic white lighthouse perched on Punta del Capo marks a classic landmark against the deepening blues of the sea. Next, the vessel navigates toward the fishing village of Camogli, whose colorful houses cling to rocky shores, reflecting the Ligurian lifestyle that has endured over centuries. Just beyond lies San Fruttuoso, a hidden bay accessible mostly by boat, boasting a rustic abbey and crystal clear waters perfect for a quiet moment of reflection.

What makes this trip stand out is its fusion of natural beauty and local gastronomy. Guests savor fine Italian sparkling wine and tapas-style delicacies sourced from the region, turning the boat deck into a panoramic dining room under the glowing sunset. The gentle sea breeze, combined with the fading light, highlights the cliffs and sandy coves in shifting tones, creating unforgettable views of the riviera’s diverse landscapes—rocky outcrops, sea caves, and lush green hillsides.

Bologna Tour situates itself uniquely in Portofino’s landscape as a provider of curated maritime experiences that celebrate the connection between the sea and Ligurian culture. This cruise invites travelers to slow down and appreciate the quiet moments of the Mediterranean evening, positioning it as a must-do for visitors seeking a refined yet unpretentious way to engage with this legendary coastline.
