Santa Margherita Ligure · Eastern Ligurian Riviera

Ferries and boats around the Tigullio Gulf

Passenger boats link parts of the gulf and Portofino headland on seasonal timetables. Safe operation depends on sea conditions, so check the operator on the day.

Possible destinations

Depending on the period, routes may include Portofino, San Fruttuoso, Camogli and other ports. Not every sailing departs daily from the same place. Read the embarkation point, intermediate stops and ticket terms carefully.

Weather, cancellations and return plans

Sunshine does not guarantee calm seas. Check operator updates and prepare a bus or rail alternative where one exists. San Fruttuoso's land alternative is a trail, so it requires enough time and ability.

Avoid depending on the final boat without spare time. Ask in advance about pushchairs, bicycles, large luggage and pets, as conditions differ by service.

What to check before buying

Confirm whether the ticket is single or return, child and pet conditions, and what happens if a sailing is suspended. Prices and times are deliberately not copied here because they may change during the season.

Frequently asked questions

Do boats operate in rough seas?

Services may be changed or cancelled for safety. Use the operator's current update.

Can I reach San Fruttuoso by boat?

Yes when the route is active. Confirm departure port, schedule and the final return sailing.
