About this experience

Sailing in these places is a unique experience; the noise of the wind between the sails and the water along the hull help us to reconnect with ourselves and the environment according to a slower pace and on a human scale, a real therapy. As a sailing instructor and marine biologist I am ready to accompany you on this adventure aboard Ivory, a beautiful and safe boat. For those interested, it is possible to organize 1) whale watching trips in search of the whales and dolphins that inhabit these waters and 2) practical sailing exercises. Do not hesitate to contact me for any need. See you soon, Nicolò.

    We will then sail to San Fruttuoso, a magnificent small bay located within the Marine Protected Area of Monte di Portofino. In the bay is the famous Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a magnificent example of medieval architecture. Also on the beach there are several small typical restaurants. It is not allowed to drop anchor in the bay, to be able to stop you must moor at one of the buoys of the Marine Protected Area at a cost varying from 30 to 100 euros depending on the season, an expense that is definitely worth supporting given the wonder of the place.

Sailing and Nature in Portofino: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.

How much does Sailing and Nature in Portofino cost?

+

Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Genoa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Sailing and Nature in Portofino take?

+

Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Genoa is not rushed.

Is Sailing and Nature in Portofino worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Genoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Sailing and Nature in Portofino?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Sailing and Nature in Portofino suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Sailing and Nature in Portofino?

+

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Genoa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Genoa and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Sailing and Nature in Portofino start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Genoa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Genoa?

+

On Outty we rank every Genoa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Genoa Small-Group Food Tour with Full Meal & Local Food Expert, Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine, Genoa Food, Wine Tasting & History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Genoa?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Genoa?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
