Set Sail Tours

The 6 hour Day trip tour included light breakfast, wonderful lunch, and drinks. Captain Micheal is a great host, informative guide, and honest Operator who speaks Italian, English, & German.The 40ft sailboat is kept in very good condition & conveniently based out of the Lavagna Marina, a few minutes walk from main train & bus stop. Micheal has flexible routes (Portofino, San Fruttusos, Sestri Levante, etc) & knows good spots for stopping for lunch & swimming. Good way to spend time on the sea, with chance of seeing sea life. During our trip we saw Moon fish & a sword fish who continuously (15x) jumped out of the water.No previous boating or sailing experience required!

What a wonderful day out!! We got to see dolphins and even saw a marlin/sword fish breach the surface. Captain Michael prepared us a delightful spread, a perfect meal for a day at sea. He also provided floating noodles for our swim in the clear blue sea, perfectly situated in a bay. We had Many great conversations and he also showed me a few sailing techniques. We cannot wait to come back and do it all over again! Thanks Capt’n

Abbiamo passato una bellissima giornata insieme a Michael!Nonostante siamo usciti con un tempo non proprio incoraggiante siamo riuscite ad avere un'esperienza fantastica e a vedere anche dei delfini nuotare accanto a noi.La barca è spaziosa e confortevole e il pranzo a bordo ottimo. Sicuramente da rifare!

What a fantastic day. Michael is a great host and will either take the reigns and allow you to chill and do nothing or allow you to muck in and get involved in sailing if you so desire. He presents a lovely array of fruit and pastries fresh that morning prior to setting sail then more fruit during the morning along with water, soft drinks, prosecco and beer throughout the trip. Lunch is lovely and again fresh from the local market that morning, enjoyed whilst anchored in a secluded bay where you can also swim and snorkel. It is a spacious yacht with sunbathing and seating areas. We travelled north seeing Portofino and Santa Frutosso on a perfect sailing day. Definitely a worthwhile trip for a day at sea taking in the lovely Ligurian coastline and much more affordable than the local charters in Santa Margherita and surrounding resorts. Thank you Michael, hope to see you again, your new Scottish friends, Chris, Rachel & Paul.

Mike - thanks for a cracking day mate! Great food and drinks, immaculate boat and excellent company! We’ll definitely be back next trip.

Had the pleasure of sailing on Mike's boat for a day with a group of high school friends. Mike did a fantastic job taking us to some great spots around the cost of Lavagna. Would highly recommend a trip with Set Sail Tours.

An absolutely brilliant experience! Definitely the highlight of our holiday. Mike is super friendly, extremely professional, and just overall a phenomenal host. Lunch food was very tasty. The route was excellent. 100% would recommend - hope to sail with Set Sail Tours again!
