Yacht charter in Rapallo · Antares — Barca (2026)

Experience the Ligurian Riviera with total freedom through our self‑drive boat rental service, designed for anyone who wants to explore the coastline at their own pace. Our boats require no nautical license, making them accessible even to complete beginners. After a short and friendly briefing with our staff, you’ll be ready to set off from Santa Margherita Ligure and navigate one of the most iconic stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean. These boats are extremely easy to handle, stable, and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the sea without stress. Whether it’s your first time driving a boat or you already have some experience, you’ll immediately feel confident. The controls are intuitive, the engine is smooth, and the boat responds gently, making navigation simple even in narrow areas or near the shore. Safety equipment is always included, and our team is available before departure to answer any questions and help you plan the perfect route. From the moment you leave the harbor, you’ll be surrounded by the beauty of the Portofino promontory. You can cruise along the coastline toward Paraggi Bay, famous for its emerald‑green water, ideal for swimming and relaxing. Continue toward Portofino, approaching the village from the sea — the most spectacular and authentic way to admire its pastel‑colored houses, the small harbor, and the lush vegetation that surrounds the bay. With a self‑drive boat, you can stop, take photos, and enjoy the view exactly the way you want, without schedules or limitations. If you wish to explore further, you can continue toward Punta del Capo, Olivetta, and the hidden coves scattered along the cliffs. These small bays, accessible only by sea, offer crystal‑clear water and a peaceful atmosphere far from the crowds. You can anchor, swim, sunbathe, or simply relax on board while enjoying the silence of nature. The independence of a self‑drive boat allows you to create your own itinerary, choosing how long to stay in each spot. For those who want a longer adventure, the route toward San Fruttuoso is one of the most memorable experiences in the area. The abbey appears suddenly between the rocks, creating a breathtaking view. Although the Christ of the Abyss area is regulated, you can still enjoy the surrounding waters and admire the unique landscape. Our staff will explain the rules and the best places to stop safely. Returning toward Santa Margherita Ligure, you can enjoy a slow cruise along the coast, passing elegant villas, gardens overlooking the sea, and the vibrant waterfront of the town. The experience is relaxing, flexible, and suitable for couples, families, and groups of friends who want to enjoy the sea in complete autonomy. Renting a self‑drive boat is the perfect way to live the Riviera like a local: free, independent, and surrounded by beauty. No license, no stress — just the pleasure of discovering Portofino and its surroundings from the best possible perspective: the sea.
