What this video covers
A sailing passage from Genova east along the Riviera di Levante to Sestri Levante covers roughly eight stops in two days. Leaving Genova, the route passes Recco where cliffs steepen, then reaches Camogli — painted facades rising from the water, good for a swim stop or lunch at anchor.▶ 0:36 Rounding Punta Chiappa leads to Portofino, a natural harbour of pastel houses and superyachts with narrow alleys, waterfront cafés, and a lighthouse hike above.▶ 0:43 Paraggi Bay, minutes east of Portofino, offers emerald water over a sandy bottom and a sheltered anchorage.▶ 1:08 Santa Margherita Ligure provides a well-sheltered marina, easy provisioning, and a promenade.▶ 1:18 Rapallo adds another safe harbour with a waterfront fortress and a cable car into the hills.▶ 1:29 The overnight stop is Marina Lavagna.▶ 1:40 The second day ends at Sestri Levante, where the Baia del Silenzio offers a calm, scenic anchorage.▶ 1:47 Legs are short throughout; the route suits boats looking for daily port-hopping with reliable shelter and good holding in the Gulf of Tigullio.
