Starting from Genoa, discover Camogli, the luxurious Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Cinque Terre's colourful villages, the charming Porto Venere and then back to Genoa, stopping at Rapallo on your last day.

A legendary port city with a thriving art scene and a long and colourful history, yachts visiting the ancient harbour will enjoy a level of tranquilly not found in Italy's larger ports.
Hop ashore and explore the city's main square, Piazza De Ferrari, and its beautiful fountain and historic buildings, as well as the Museum of the Sea and the Aquarium. The harbour and coastline make for beautiful strolls, and there are plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafes to visit.
On day two, wake up early and sail to Camogli first thing in the morning. The town's colourful houses and picturesque harbour as well as its proximity to the Portofino peninsula make it a haven for sailors.
A charming 1950's Italian village, Camogli is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious dinner made by your private chef using fresh local ingredients and wine. A visit to Castello del Dragone, also known as the Dragon's Castle, is highly recommended as it offers stunning views of the ocean and beach from its view point.
Is there anything more alluring than the pastel-hued houses and waterfront seafood restaurants that dot the coast of Italy’s most charming fishing village? Welcome to the playground of the artistic underground, Portofino.
A national monument and playground of the rich and famous, Portofino is a favourite vacation spot for international visitors due to its world-renowned harbour and upscale vibe.
Walk the paved path from the Piazetta to the 16th-century Castello Brown fortress, enjoy a sundowner cocktail as you watch the yachts and sailboats sway in the calm harbour and get lost in the laneway boutiques and charming designer stores. End your days feasting on high-end Italian fare at elite waterfront restaurants and retreat to your luxury yacht.
Day four begins with a short cruise from Portofino to Santa Margherita Ligure where you can explore the historical town, visit the Chiesa di Santa Margherita d'Antiochia and indulge in some delicious local seafood.
Boasting a charming harbour, a palm-lined promenade, and a vibrant town full of colourful architecture, the town is sure to captivate your senses. As you approach the harbour, you'll be amazed by the yachts, bustling bars, cafes, gelatarias, and restaurants.
Although the town only has one beach, it is an ideal location to relax aboard your private superyacht whilst enjoying the stunning scenery and calm waters. From here, you can easily explore the Italian Riviera's many attractions while still being in the heart of the action.
Cinqueterre, aptly named for the five quaint towns of Manarola, Corniglia, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza and Riomaggiore which majestically cling to the rocky Ligurian coast providing some breath-taking vistas.
With its rainbow of seaside villages, rugged cliffs, and turquoise waters, it's no wonder this UNESCO World Heritage site attracts thousands of visitors each year. Experience the magic of Cinque Terre by gliding past its iconic pastel-hued homes, immersing in the region's rich history and culture, and taking a dip in the clear waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
Take a hike along the famous Cinque Terre trail to experience the region's outstanding coastal scenery and explore the five charming villages. Visit the historic churches, sample local seafood, and shop for handmade goods along the way.
Start your day early and sail from Cinque Terre to the charming town of Porto Venere. Take in the beautiful views of the coastline and the multi-coloured houses as you glide towards this charming place.
Porto Venere, a lovely medieval village in the Bay of Poets, is a popular destination for yachters. Expect a friendly and welcoming atmosphere thanks to the ancient fishermen's homes and bustling cafes, and the breathtaking bay views from the winding, cobblestone streets.
Doria Castle, a Medieval fortress with spectacular vistas, can be accessed via the charming streets of the village, and the Church of San Lorenzo, a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture, is not to be missed. Soak up the laid-back vibe of this cultural jewel while lunching on fresh seafood at one of the many wonderful local restaurants.
On your last day, visit the port of Rapallo on your way back to Genoa.
Enjoy the warm welcome, bustling markets, terracotta architecture, and scenic mountain setting of this ancient community. Bask in the sun and swim at one of the numerous beautiful beaches in the area, such as Paraggi or San Michele di Pagana. Dine at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking the harbour before returning to Genoa to end your memorable yacht charter trip.
Savour the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean, bidding farewell to your luxurious escape and the crew. With a few precious hours to explore the historic streets one last time, explore the city's main square, Piazza De Ferrari, and its beautiful fountain and historic buildings and allocate some time for a bit of shopping therapy.
