Bruno and the Skipper were a fantastic team taking so good care of us onboard šŸ™šŸ˜Ž we had great fun and were lucky to see dolphins on our trip. Drinks and snacks were included which was also a very positive surprise. Best experience in our stay in Liguria and can strongly recommend

Amazing! Our guide, Vivian, and captain, Lucca, were very accommodating and great hosts. They were very friendly and attentive to us, providing lots of snacks & drinks at our request. The views were beautiful and we stopped to swim, definitely worth it during your stay in Cinque Terre!

Full description

Embark on a captivating journey that unveils the heart of Cinque Terre from the sea. Get ready to discover the iconic villages along the sea.

As your boat tour departs from Monterosso, the northernmost village of Cinque Terre, you're immediately enveloped in its lively atmosphere and historical charm. Monterosso, known for its beautiful beaches and lush lemon trees, serves as the perfect starting point for your adventure.

As you glide southward, the next spectacle is Vernazza, arguably the most picturesque of the five villages. With its natural harbor and colorful houses clinging to steep terraces, Vernazza is a photographer's dream. The Doria Castle and the Santa Margherita d'Antiochia Church stand as timeless sentinels over this vibrant fishing village.

As the coastline unfurls, a special moment awaits—a leisurely stop at Cinque Terre's most secluded beach. Here, in the midst of crystal-clear waters, indulge in a refreshing swim followed by an aperitif featuring local specialties, a true taste of Ligurian hospitality.

Continuing along the coast, you reach Corniglia, the only village perched high above the sea, offering breathtaking panoramic views from its vantage point. Surrounded by terraced vineyards, Corniglia feels like a step back in time with its narrow streets and quaint piazzas, embodying the tranquil essence of rural Italian life. Manarola, your next stop, is a cascade of multi-colored houses that seem to emerge straight from the rock itself. This village is renowned for its lively waterfront where the houses seem to dive into the sea. The romance of Manarola is unmatched.

The final jewel in the Cinque Terre crown is Riomaggiore, the southernmost village, a picturesque coast-side village with postcard-perfect panoramas at every bend. The boat will navigate back to Monterosso, concluding a journey that has taken you through the heart of the Cinque Terre's unparalleled beauty.
