» ABOUT US


Our activity was born in the post-war period, invented by a bunch of sailors in a period in which all sailors had a tattoo and a woman in each port.  




The first tourists arrived in Riviera, and those rough sailors had the brilliant idea to get them with their small boats to the discovery of the beauties of the Gulf of Tigullio. And after that they were so clever to think to join together all their efforts in order to work together, proposing "adventorous" tours on board of the first boats.
During the sixties and the seventies, the sea frontsof our vilages became the theatre of the manoeuvres of the "Primero", the "Corsaro", the "Riviera", the "Città di Chiavari", the "Lern", the "Aldebaran", and the "Ufo", boats which have made the history of the marittime tourist transport and which have tickled the imagination of generations of children and young people, resident and tourists.


The "battellieri" of today are descendants of the old sailors that in those old days founded the first unit of our Company, unit which has been enlarged and improved to include all the local operators of this field and to assume the actual denomination in 1983.
 





Today the Consorzio Servizi Marittimi del Tigullio has its disposal both the classic and comfortable boats in wood and the more recent boats in fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) of different sizes, moved by modern propellers in position to guarantes good cruise speed and therefore to reach easily relatively far away destinations.

Tradition and experience rapresent the basis of our Company and the guarantee, for the tourists who are staying in our area, of the opportunity to enjoy tours to which you cannot renounce if you want to fully enjoy the bauty of our vilages and the charm of an unique landscape.
