What to do in Rapallo?

Rapallo is a haven for travelers seeking a blend of coastal relaxation and exploration. Here are the top experiences we recommend for our yacht charter guests:
  • Dine at Seafront Trattorias: Let us reserve you a table at one of Rapallo’s under-the-radar trattorias. Expect fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and crisp Ligurian white wines—served just steps from the sea.
  • Play a Round at Rapallo Golf Club: This scenic 18-hole course is tucked into a quiet valley near the harbor. It’s one of Italy’s oldest golf clubs and a great way to spend a relaxed morning ashore.
  • Cruise to Portofino or Santa Margherita: From Rapallo, you're just a tender ride away from the glitz of Portofino or the elegance of Santa Margherita. Spend a few hours shopping, sipping cocktails, or simply soaking in the Riviera charm.
  • Overnight Anchorage with a View: End your evening dining alfresco onboard while Rapallo’s colorful seafront lights up the horizon. It’s one of the most peaceful anchorages on the coast.
  • Explore Castello sul Mare: This 16th-century seaside fortress is Rapallo’s most iconic landmark. Walk up for panoramic views of the bay and a touch of local history, just steps from where your yacht is anchored.
  • Stroll Lungomare Vittorio Veneto: The palm-lined promenade is ideal for a late afternoon walk. Browse local boutiques, stop for artisanal gelato, or simply take in the relaxed rhythm of this coastal town.
  • Ride the Funicular to Montallegro Sanctuary: Take the scenic funicular to this hilltop sanctuary and enjoy sweeping views over the Gulf of Tigullio. A peaceful retreat high above the harbor.
  • Drop Anchor Near Paraggi or San Michele di Pagana: Spend the day swimming or paddleboarding off your yacht near these two beautiful beaches. San Michele offers soft sands and a local vibe, while Paraggi is famous for its clear turquoise water and rocky coastline.
  • Aperitivo at Chiosco della Musica: Wrap up the day with a classic Italian spritz at this charming open-air bandstand, surrounded by buzzing cafés and live music in the summer months.
