Awesome day on the water!

5.00We had an excellent day on the water with Captain Brian. His boat is immaculate, well stocked with water, towels, etc. Booking was easy and efficient. Brian was a great tour guide, telling us interesting stories about the coastline and pointing out significant properties. You can tell he is passionate about where he lives and what he does! I highly recommend Captain Brian. Our boat day was the highlight of our time on the Ligurian coast.
A beautiful, relaxed paced day.

5.00What an amazing day on Captain Brian’s boat! Michaela was excellent at communicating with us at all times. The boat was clean, well kept and well stocked with water, prosecco, snacks, towels and snorkelling equipment. Brian was so welcoming and very informative about the boat and area. The views were amazing. We loved stopping for a swim and having lunch in Portofino. What a welcome, relaxing change from all the crowded, fast paced tours out there. You won’t be disappointed!

5.00We had a great experience on the Green Boat with Captain Brian. He took us to all of the towns and villages along the Portofino Coast and we had an opportunity to swim and snorkel in multiple spots. The boat is in excellent condition and was perfect for a family of six although could comfortably accommodate more people. Brian is a local (from Santa Margherita Ligure) and has great perspectives to share about the area. He owns the charter company and the boat and takes great pride in providing a first-class experience. Would highly recommend.
Gorgeous afternoon on the coast

5.00Brian was a fabulous skipper & tour guide! Absolutely amazing afternoon on the boat! The views were phenomenal, the boat was incredibly comfortable, and clean. Brian went the extra mile and had bottles of cold water, fresh towels, and snorkeling masks. Every detail was thought out and he had lots of interesting details about each place we visited. Thank you for an unforgettable day!

5.00We had an amazing time! The boat was the perfect size for our family of 5 (with adult kids). Brian was a fantastic captain showing us points of interest and finding the good swim spots. These towns are so charming and the perfect backdrop for a swim in the sea. One of our favorite experiences!
Remarkable time with Brian on the Ligurian Sea.

5.00How could we ever have known how fantastic this would be?? Brian is a remarkable skipper and guide, for starters, but something special happens when you’re out on The Green Boat on the Ligurian Sea. Wow. We’ll never forget our tour of the Portofino Peninsula. Ever. That’s how great our afternoon was. Thanks to Brian for everything. 😃🇮🇹♥️🎶
Beautiful views and a great captain

5.00Picked us up with a brand new boat. Our captain was amazing and so friendly! We had to switch the date last minute because the weather wasn’t good and they were so accommodating and nice and about it. Very helpful! We listened to music, went in the water for a bit and saw where all the huge celebrities have beautiful homes. Really pretty views everywhere. Recommend it!
