Charter a superyacht in
Portofino is the jewel of the Italian Riviera, a tiny harbour town where colourful buildings cling to the hillsides and luxury yachts glide into the famous Portus Delphini. Your charter will carry you along the Ligurian coast past San Remo and the Cinque Terre before anchoring in Portofino’s Bay where Italian glamour meets natural beauty. Spend your days exploring the cobbled Piazzetta, swimming in Captain’s Cove, or snorkelling the coral-rich waters of the Portofino Marine Park. Whether you’re hiking coastal trails or feasting on Ligurian specialties, this destination is pure enchantment.
Portofino is where laid-back Italian charm meets the high life. Drop anchor for a waterfront lunch at Da Puny, Trattoria Tripoli, or Taverna Marinaio, and indulge in Ligurian flavours like fresh pesto, bruschetta with deep-red tomatoes, and silky Parma ham. Enjoy gelato from Calata 32 as you browse designer boutiques from Louis Vuitton to Brunello Cucinelli. Hike up to Castello Brown for panoramic views, dive down to the submerged Christ of the Abyss, or unwind at Bagni Fiore beach club by day and dance at Covo di Nord Est by night. This is Italy at its most refined.

Arriving in Portofino by superyacht is an experience of cinematic elegance. The marina fills with an international jet set, think Clooneys, Kardashians, and music royalty while Hollywood legends linger in memory. Spend the afternoon at the Belmond Splendido Hotel for a spa session or an alfresco lunch overlooking the coast. Stroll through forested paths past grand Italianate villas then take a tender to San Fruttuoso Abbey to dive to the famous sunken statue. Whether it’s stargazing from the deck or people-watching in the piazza Portofino is all about timeless indulgence.
July and August offer peak glamour with Portofino at its most vibrant and the sea at its warmest. It’s the perfect season for water sports, beach club lounging, and outdoor dining under the stars. For a more peaceful charter, opt for June or September, when the town is quieter, the days still warm, and the water remains ideal for swimming. May brings blooming wildflowers along the cliffs, while September’s harvest season adds an extra layer of local flavour to your itinerary.
For those preferring warm rather than hot temperatures, June and September are both glorious times to charter on the Ligurian Coast, offering 20-25°C days and quieter crowds. In May and June you’ll see the coast slowly come alive, with lovely temperatures for exploring. September can be exquisite as the sea retains much of its summer warmth, while towards the end of the month the harvest festivals begin.
