Itinerary
Meet 10 minutes before the departure at the boarding dock in Monterosso, Molo dei Pescatori (from where the ferries leave) and start of the boat tour.
The cruise will take you through the Cinque Terre National Park. During the tour, enjoy a stop for swimming in the most beautiful beach of the Cinque Terre, accessible only by sea and reachable only by swimming. On board, an aperitif of local products will be offered to you.
Going out of the port, you will admire from the sea Monterosso al Mare: the largest and most visited of the villages; admire its large beach, lined with colourful umbrellas and spiral up through the village.
From Corniglia, you will depart for Vernazza, the beauty queen of the Cinque Terre: the most popular and the most photogenic one. Vernazza’s shoreline stands out because of the iconic colourful buildings along the cliffs and the beautiful church tower that looks out onto the bay.
Further along, you will see Corniglia: the smallest of the Cinque Terre, built far above the ocean on the cliffs.
The tour continues to Manarola: the village is perched atop jagged ocean cliffs and surrounded by lush-green vineyards. It has an incredible spit of land where the most famous Cinque Terre Instagram photos are taken.
Finally Riomaggiore, a picturesque coast-side village with postcard perfect panoramas at every bend.
Once the tour is over, you will return to Monterosso.

This was the perfect relaxing afternoon on the water to close out our time in Cinque Terre. Alberto and Alex were informative but very informal which lead the excursion to feel like a day on the water with friends. Beautiful scenery and two swimming stops were a dream.
Such an amazing experience. The tour guides are great!
Fantastic experience! The tour was very interactive. Rocco and Esther were extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Had a great time.
So so SO fun! Loved being able to swim and the food was delicious!
It was difficult to find the actual boat we were on, no signage available and the boat name supplied was incorrect. We were asked to pay $10eu each for fuel, the music was too pound to talk and there was little information provided about the local area. There was not a cave visit, this was not true at all.
Fantastic experience, the guides Alissia & Alberto were so fun and welcoming. Beautiful tour
Was very fun going from town to town and swimming.
The best tour ever! Swimming time was perfect and the views, amazing! The drink inclusion was a great bonus and our tour guide Mattia and driver were wonderful. It was great fun, highly recommend.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Cinque Terre from the water, book with Alberto and Alexis. This was, without question, one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. From the moment we stepped aboard, they made our family feel welcome. They struck the perfect balance between being knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely fun. Our kids had an incredible time and were engaged from start to finish, which made the day even more special for us as parents. The views were spectacular, but what made the experience unforgettable was the atmosphere Alberto and Alexis created. It never felt like a tour. It felt like spending the day on the water with friends who wanted to show us why they love this place. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, there was plenty of time to swim, relax, and take in the beauty of Cinque Terre, and they shared stories and local insights that brought each village to life. Travel experiences come and go, but this is one our family will be talking about for years. The memories we made together on that boat are priceless. Thank you, Alberto and Alexis, for giving us an experience we’ll always remember. If you’re considering a boat tour in Cinque Terre, stop looking. This is the one.
It was simply amazing! The tour contemplated everything and was even more than I expected! I was in the boat of Eleonora and Gianni, they were so friendly and welcoming! I had a great time because of them! Highly recommend to do it and if you can select the boat of Eleonora and Gianni!!
