Description

The sea of the Cinque Terre without crowds or stress, with the breeze in your hair and the sun shining on the water. It is the funniest, most comfortable and fastest way to admire the splendid Gulf of La Spezia, visit the hamlets of the villages, swim in crystal clear waters.

Continuing the tour, we will have time to approach the Byron cave and swim in splendid hidden coves or under the natural Canneto waterfall. We will skirt the 5 villages (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso), you will have time to take pictures, listen to interesting stories provided by your Captain and take another dive. There is also the possibility to go ashore and visit the villages of Vernazza or Monterosso.

Stay far away

Stay away! Lied said they 10 min away. Was already 30 min late then said they had engine trouble. Told another boat company to come but the price was 300 euro more . Shady- stay away. Unreliable and unprofessional. Would not use.

Perfect Cinque Terre day!

This was a highlight of our trip! Simone reached out ahead of our booking to advise us that the weather would be rough and asked to reschedule. We ended up switching to a private tour with just our family. The scenery, the 2 stops to swim in crystal blue water, and a stop for gelato in Portovenere was the perfect way to spend the day. Simone provided beer, prosecco and delicious focaccia. 10 out of 10 experience!

Excellent experience. Awesome guide

Our family had an absolutely excellent boat trip, and it was truly the highlight of our vacation. Captain Simone was outstanding from start to finish. He shared interesting information about each stop along the route, which made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Simone's friendly personality and knowledge of the area made everyone feel welcome and relaxed. He also had an awesome playlist that perfectly matched the beautiful scenery and added to the fun atmosphere on board. Everything was well organized, and the day exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Thank you, Simone, for making our trip so special!

We have taken probably...

We have taken probably close to 100 cruise ship excursions over the years, and this was the best one ever. We were traveling as a multigenerational group, and every single person agreed this was the best day of vacation. Simone was AMAZING and so sweet. Awesome stops, great boat and fun music playlist. Less than a mile walk back to the cruise ship as well!

Excellent

Breathtaking scenery and perfect organization. The boat was spacious, nothing to do with the crowded goiters you see around. Good call.
