Gerry was lovely and attentive. On the water was a great way to see the towns and stop in one for shopping site seeing and a bite. We had time to swim Along the way and even go into a little cave to see the glowing alabaster stones!

Highlight of our trip!! We had the most amazing day. Gerry was a great host - we had so much fun on the boat with our group. Loved the music, focaccia and prosecco on board! Plenty of stops to swim & take photos. 10/10!

The next stop will be The red rocks, a bacterium millions of years ago turned the rock red, the next step is the ferale rock and the cove of Monesteroli where you can eat around 11:30 am a delicious Ligurian focaccia stuffed in different ways accompanied by prosecco, wine or soft drinks also you will take your first swim in a beautiful cove where you can only get there by boat.We head towards the Marine Protected Area of the 5 Terre where as the first city you will see Riomaggiore then after Manarola, Corniglia. Around 1:30 pm Once you arrive in Monterosso al Mare, you can decide to get off for 1,30 h the boat to take a tour of the town, eat a sandwich or an ice cream or you can stay on the boat to sunbathe and swim. However, we won't leave you hungry, we serve Ligurian focaccia and other local food on board.We then reach Vernazza where you can take another swim and then returning to La Spezia in the center of the 5 lands in the middle of the sea, take a bath in the large blue where you can admire the 5 lands in their extension.

Know before you go

  • The main boarding point is La Spezia, so if you want to leave from La Spezia you don't have to enter any boarding point because it's the default. If you arrive by train or car, we recommend boarding from La Spezia and if you have a car the parking is a few meters from the boarding point! If you arrive by train it takes about 20 minutes from the train station to get to the boarding point. If you book boarding from Portovenere or Lerici, the time will be at 10.30. You can decide to end the tour in Monterosso al mare which is the last town we visit. We recommend you take some pills against seasickness if the boat bothers you. For any questions do not hesitate to contact me. See you on board, greetings to Captain Gerry
