WHY CHOOSE SHORE SERVICE
A Private Experience, Designed Around You
Choosing Shore Service means relying on a team with over 12 years of experience at sea, guided by professionalism and a genuine commitment to personalized care — ensuring every guest can fully relax and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
Our base in Sestri Levante is strategically positioned, allowing us to efficiently plan routes towards Cinque Terre & Portovenere, or towards Portofino, San Fruttuoso & Camogli. This creates a clear advantage: well-balanced timing, smoother navigation, and more time to truly enjoy the sea.
At the same time, you are never limited to a single departure point. We can arrange pick-up and drop-off at different locations around the Gulf, tailoring the day to your plans — whether based on your hotel, transfers, weather conditions, or preferred itinerary.
In short: a strong base, combined with the flexibility to serve you better.
Each trip is private and led by a professional skipper. The pace, stops, and atmosphere are carefully shaped around your preferences and the day’s conditions.
We don’t follow rigid scripts — our goal is to offer the finest version of the coastline, delivered in the most enjoyable and effortless way possible.
