FAQs for Experiences in Liguria


How much does a boat excursion cost?

The price of a boat excursion may vary depending on the period, type of boat, and whether or not there is an aperitif/lunch/dinner. Excursions on our website range between 30€ and 130€ per person. In addition, if the excursion includes the boat exclusively, the price per person is spread among the participants, so it will be less the more people until the capacity is reached.

What to bring for a boat excursion?

We suggest bringing along all sun protection equipment. If the excursion does not include lunch/aperitif, you are usually allowed to bring a packed lunch. For more specific questions, you can always contact the skipper once you receive the booking confirmation email where you can find his contact information.

Will other people be present during the boat tour?

In case the tour is "Of Group" the boat tour does not provide exclusivity, so there is a possibility of other people joining; in case the client requests the "Private" tour the boat is kept exclusive, for a slightly higher price.
