A great full day trip with great friendly and super knowledgeable hosts. Perfect views of each village and a good amount of time spent at each stop ( 3 villages). Thanks team

Highly recommend this tour - the boat (Lord Byron) had a canopy which made it very pleasant sitting up top when cruising along. The 3 stops were fantastic.

Full description

Experience the Cinque Terre coast by boat and take in gorgeous views of vineyards terraces and charming buildings from the sea. Make time to stop at Riomaggiore or Portovenere, then Monterosso, and Vernazza along the way.


Start at 10:00 a.m. in La Spezia's harbor and sail through the Gulf of the Poets .

Sail to the first stop: Riomaggiore or Portovenere ( depends on tour availability ) and marvel the beauty of the Village.

In Monterosso al Mare, explore the medieval historic center and marvel at the parish church dedicated to St. John, the Baptist.

Then continue the sailing to Vernazza, the pearl of the Cinque Terre. Vernazza presents itself to visitors as the prow of a ship: most of the village is in fact built on a small promontory that ends at the sea with an imposing fortification system.


At the end of the tour, enjoy free time and take the chance to taste the local wine and food for lunch, or go for a swim in the crystal-clear water of the Mediterranean before returning to La Spezia at 6:00 p.m.

It was amazing. Best choose we made was to see Cinque Tere by boat. Had plenty is time to walk around the villages and a swim. Although the weather was very hot, sitting on the top deck was quite cool. Highly recommended!
