Final return departures vary by season and operator. Missing your assigned return can result in extra costs for train, taxi, or private transfer back to Genoa or Milan.
For softer light and a calmer atmosphere, choose early departures or shoulder-season dates. Late afternoon on the water can be especially beautiful for photos.
Advance booking is highly recommended from spring through early autumn, when Portofino demand is strongest and preferred times sell out quickly.
Regional rail passes and city transport cards usually do not include private Portofino tours or dedicated boat packages. Always check exactly what your pass covers.
