Overview

Why Charter in Italian Riviera?

The Italian Riviera, the Ligurian coastline stretching from the French border to La Spezia, is one of the Mediterranean's most captivating yacht charter destinations. Its pastel-painted villages, dramatic cliffs, and sheltered bays offer an unforgettable cruising experience.

A yacht charter along the Italian Riviera connects you to legendary Portofino, the charming harbour of Santa Margherita Ligure, the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre, and dozens of secluded anchorages only accessible by sea.

Best Time to Visit

May to October. June and September offer the best balance of warm weather and fewer crowds.

Recommended Duration

3 to 7 day charters are ideal to explore from Portofino to the Cinque Terre. Combine with the French Riviera for extended itineraries.

Marine Life

Mediterranean fish, dolphins, occasional whale sightings in the Pelagos Sanctuary, and excellent snorkeling around Portofino's marine reserve.

Lunch near Loulou Ramatuelle

“This was my first time doing a yacht charter and I was genuinely nervous about the whole process, but Navélia made it feel surprisingly natural. The skipper explained everything we needed to know without overwhelming us and gave us options depending on whether we wanted calm bays or livelier spots. We ended up stopping near Loulou Ramatuelle for lunch and it honestly felt like a scene from a movie. The water was warm enough for swimming and the boat had all the little comforts like chilled drinks, fresh towels and sunscreen. By the time we got back to Saint Tropez the whole day felt like it went by too quickly. I am already thinking about doing it again next summer.”
