Bareboat sailing in Genoa

A sailing résumé is the real ticket: operators want recent miles and experience of the size. The grounds: the heart of the Gulf of Genoa, gateway to the Ligurian Riviera and the Pelagos whale sanctuary.

The local wind, decoded

Coastal breezes in summer and a libeccio that builds swell along the Riviera when it sets in. Trim the sail plan accordingly. Boarding points: the Porto Antico marinas, below the Lanterna and the old town.

How it works

Rather than juggling four tabs, run one search: the catalogues of Boataround, SamBoat, Click&Boat and GlobeSailor are queried in parallel and the boats in Genoa ranked at the price actually displayed. You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
