Portofino
An Italian-waters passage from Cannes to a perfect natural harbour — the reward at the end of an eastward cruise.
The jewel of the Italian Riviera
Portofino lies east along the coast in Liguria, Italy — an open-water passage from Cannes and a destination for longer charters that cross into Italian waters. The tiny fishing village wraps around a perfect natural harbour, its pastel houses stacked above a piazzetta that has drawn yachts for a century.
Reaching Portofino by sea is the only way to arrive in style: the harbour is small and berths are coveted, but anchoring in the bay below the Castello Brown and the church of San Giorgio is among the most beautiful moments on any Mediterranean cruise. It is the reward at the end of an eastward passage past Monaco and Menton — and a reminder that, by yacht, the whole Riviera is within reach.
A charter to Portofino is a multi-day affair, planned around weather windows and Italian formalities — exactly the kind of itinerary our brokers arrange end to end. Arriving under sail or power into that little harbour is a memory guests keep for life.
