Boat activities from Portofino.
Snorkeling and swimming inside the Portofino Marine Protected Area, on a private boat tour boarding at Molo Umberto I.Portofino Activities
Inside the Portofino Marine Protected Area.
Boarding at Molo Umberto I puts you inside one of Italy's oldest marine protected areas within minutes — Paraggi's emerald bay and San Fruttuoso's sheltered cove are both short crossings from the harbor.
Closest Stop
Paraggi's emerald bay.
The smallest bay on the promontory, a few minutes from Molo Umberto I — shallow, sandy-pebble seabed and consistently clear water make it the easiest snorkeling stop on the route.
Longer Stop
San Fruttuoso and the Christ of the Abyss.
Reachable only by boat or on foot: a bay built around a thousand-year-old abbey, with the bronze Christ of the Abyss statue sitting at snorkeling depth just offshore.
On Board
Activities available on the route.
Snorkeling at Paraggi
Mask and fins provided in the sheltered emerald bay.
Shore Time at San Fruttuoso
Visit the abbey grounds before or after the swim stop.
Water Games
Floating games for families in the calm bay water.
Water Sports
Towable inflatables where marine park rules allow.
