Autumn Sightseeing

5.00Cannot recommend this trip enough! My wife and I had and outstanding trip along the coast with captain Jack. We were travelling at the end of october and jack had advised us before hand that the tour would've been confirmed only in case of great weather. He reached out a couple of days prior to rearrange the date and time of the tour so that we could enjoy the perfect day. The views were amazing and the peace and quiet around was truly unmatched.
We had a blast

5.00My wife and I had the best time with Giacomo as our captain. The tour was great from start to finish and Giacomo's precious insights made us fall in love with this area. The only thing i'd point out is regarding the duration - 4 hours in september / october (when we visited) is quiet lengthy for the area - Giacomo said it was due to the reservation system and they are working on it!
Lovely

5.00Giacomo was the best, great communication and welcoming. He reached out to arrange a different date (due to rain) and was very flexible and understanding. The views are exceptional. as well as the history. We will definitely be back for swimming and snorkelling!
Amazing half day tour

5.00Absolutely outstanding half day tour with Captain Giacomo onboard the mimi 7.5 boat. Booked last minute and he reached out immediately through WhatsApp to make sure we were all set with meeting point and time. The views are stunning and Giacomo was keen to share a lot of fascinating details about the history of the area. Highly recommend!
Crystal-Clear Waters and Nature

5.00Cannot reccomend this tour enough. Our guide - Giacomo - was so nice and charming and talked us through the rich history of the Portofino Area. As Giacomo told us, colours in September are simply stunning and with fewer boats around, the ocean is flat calm and water is crystal-clear. Highly reccomend…especially in September/October!
Relaxed Boat Tour in Portofino

5.00Absolutely amazing experience with Giacommo on the Mimì 7.5! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Giacommo is not only a skilled and knowledgeable captain, but also incredibly friendly and welcoming. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, and the views of Portofino, Paraggi, and Santa Margherita were absolutely breathtaking. He shared great local insights, took us to stunning hidden spots, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time. The tour was relaxed, with plenty of time to swim, or explore. This tour is a must-do. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area – thank you, Giacomo and Venti Charter, for an unforgettable day on the water!
Outstanding Half Day with Jack

5.00Cannot recommend this tour enough. Starting from the views - which are spectacular- they are enhanced by the history and details our captain Jack taught us during the tour. The boat was also spot less, incredibly comfortable imevwn when the big ferries passed by creasing steeper waves. Finally, Jack is so kind and welcoming as well as keen in making the experience memorable.
We were very disappointed...

1.00We were very disappointed with this tour. It was not worth the cost. The captain was new and didn’t share a lot of the landmarks and interesting details. We had to ask for everything that was listed in the itinerary as well as for the beverages and snorkels. There was five of us and they had a lot of beer but only one soda and then one snorkel and mask as I was told by the organizer that they broke the day before. I would suggest requesting these items or at least asking more questions about what all specifically is provided.
The highlight of our trip. Giacomo, our skipper, was very polite and ensured we had a great time.

5.00This was our last activity on a two week long vacation and it was by far the best way to see this area. Worth every penny spent.
highlight of our trip in Italy

5.00This four hour tour was the highlight of our trip in Italy. We had booked the mimì 7.5 boat and it was perfect for our family of 5 and Giacomo was our skipper. Giacomo is a great young man and knows how to handle the boat with great skill as well as having loads of facts and historical insights about all the castles and villas in the Portofino area. The water was great, with wonderful colours and the snorkelling kept the kids entertained. Highly recommend this trip with Giacomo!!
