La Spezia : Private Sailboat tour of cinque terre with lunch

Our crew welcomes you on board to discover the Ligurian Riviera with a sailing trip from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre! You will be able to dive into the crystal clear waters of the marine park, admire the fascinating cliffs of Palmaria Island and enjoy the evocative views that Porto Venere and the villages of the Cinque Terre have to offer.

If the wind is favorable we will set the sails once we leave La Spezia. Otherwise we will use the engine to navigate towards the Porto Venere canal, the arm of the sea that separates Palmaria Island from the mainland. Here we will see Porto Venere and, on top of a promontory overlooking the sea, the enchanting Church of San Pietro. Leaving the gulf we will sail along the coast to admire the splendid panorama of caves and hidden coves. If you wish, our captain will gladly allow you to take the helm during the trip and teach you some of the main navigation maneuvers!

Our initial destination will be the village of Riomaggiore, the oldest among the Cinque Terre. With its narrow streets and colorful houses, it winds through the hills, creating a suggestive and picturesque atmosphere. Subsequently we will reach the village of Manarola, famous for its terraced vineyards which produce the prized Sciacchetrà wine. We will also pass through Corniglia, if the weather conditions are optimal, and then stop at Guvano Beach: a small cove hidden among the rocks, perfect for taking a break and enjoying a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. Resuming navigation we will head towards Vernazza, with its characteristic bay dominated by the tower of the Doria Castle.

We will then head towards Monterosso al Mare, the most populous of the Cinque Terre! Here we will stop to enjoy a lunch based on typical specialities, such as the delicious Genoese focaccia. Our trip will end with the return trip to La Spezia.
