Italian Riviera

Cruising the Italian Riviera is like starring in a Hollywood movie. Race vintage Vespas through olive farms, cliff dive at Portofino Lighthouse, and swim back to your Y.CO yacht. It's La Dolce Vita, complete with stewards, chefs, and a watersports crew.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE ITALIAN RIVIERA

AN ITALIAN MASTERPIECE

At times the 150km coastline awes like an Italian Master. Cinque Terre sparkles like Raphael’s paintbox. These five villages also make up Italy’s smallest National Park, which is riddled with bike, snorkel and swim trails. Santa Margherita has its own colour scheme. Lime green palms. Ruby red negronis. Ultramarine seas. Want to see a real Caravaggio? Take our eBike tour of Genoa. Italy’s biggest port is a sleeping beauty of medieval churches and lost-in-time palazzi.

The Toughest of Choices

The toughest choice on the Italian Riviera is where to eat. Genoese street food. Portofino peach bellinis. Pistachio gelatos everywhere else. Charter guests claim the best meals are those prepared on deck by your chef. Who will serve Italy on a plate by way of organic farms, rural markets and local fishermen.

Inland Discoveries

The Tuscany hinterland is similarly tasty. Tender to the helipad to be whisked inland. To the Enzo Ferrari museum where you can pilot a vintage racing car. To Brunelleschi’s Cathedral in Florence for a secret access tour. To three-star Michelin restaurants that rank as Italy’s best. To Pisa and back for lunch.

REASONS TO VISIT

WHY WE LOVE THE ITALIAN RIVIERA

Scuba & Wreck Diving

Forget Vespas and vineyards for a second. Because below the waves the Italian Riviera astounds. Near Portofino sits Christ of the Abyss, a statue sunk in 17m of translucent seas. Wreck dives include military steamships and submarine chasers. Best for snorkels? The Marine Protected Area around Cinque Terre. Say ciao to snappers and slipper lobsters in 25°C summer seas.

Exclusive Yachting

One note of caution. Our Italian Riviera itineraries sail to places only superyachts dare. To UNESCO-inscribed islands off Portovenere where pilot whales breach at breakfast. To shipwrecks guarded by barracudas in a Marine Protected Area. To chic beach clubs in Forte dei Marmi that rock after midnight. The afterparty? It takes place on your charter yacht.
