Frequently Asked Questions
Here you'll find answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you have specific questions about today's sea conditions, check out the weather widget below or message us on WhatsApp.

What does the Pick-up service consist of?
Our pick-up service is designed for maximum convenience. If you don't want to come to our base in Chiavari, one of our skippers will take your chosen dinghy directly to the port or the closest embarkation point (hotel, villa, or public dock).
Is there an extra charge for out-of-base service?
"Yes, delivery and collection services outside the Chiavari Hub incur a surcharge. This cost is calculated based on the nautical distance and covers:"
- "Fuel consumption for the transfer."
- "Staff technical time for the relocation."
- "Any embarkation or disembarkation fees charged by marinas or municipal piers."
How is the extra cost calculated?
The surcharge is a flat fee and will be communicated to you during the quoting process. For example, a pick-up in Rapallo or Santa Margherita will have a lower cost than one in Genoa, given their proximity to our operational base in Chiavari.
Note: The pick-up service is subject to availability and sea-weather conditions on the day, ensuring your maximum safety during embarkation at all times.
What happens in case of bad weather
Safety is our absolute priority. We constantly monitor sea and weather conditions. If the captain determines that the sea conditions are not suitable for safe or enjoyable navigation, the tour will be rescheduled to the first available date. If rescheduling is not possible, the deposit paid will be fully refunded
How can I book and pay?
You can check availability by messaging us on WhatsApp or by clicking the 'Book Now' button. Once the dates are secured, a member of our team will contact you via WhatsApp to send a payment link. This may be for a deposit or the total balance, depending on what has been agreed.
In the case of a deposit, the remaining balance can be conveniently paid on the day of embarkation (by cash or card).
Is fuel included in the price?
- Fuel is usually calculated separately based on actual consumption, or included only if specified in the quote. Feel free to ask us for details during the booking process!
Do I need a boating license to rent?
Absolutely not. All our services include a professional Skipper. You just need to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the view; we’ll take care of the navigation, anchoring, and safety.
What’s on board? Is there shade?
Our Blue RIB Miami 23 is equipped with every comfort: spacious sundecks with premium cushions, a sun awning (bimini top) for the hottest hours, a freshwater shower, a comfortable boarding ladder, and a sound system.
