Beautiful way to end the day in Monterosso. Great views of all 5 towns of the Cinque Terre plus we stopped for a refreshing swim. Food and refreshments also great and Sam was an excellent host while Alessandro expertly guided our boat close to the coast.

We had a great time on the sunset tour. The captain Alessandro was very nice and personable and the first mate Sam (a Cinque Terre native) provided so much information about the area, it's history, and the sea life here. Both of them spoke excellent English which was nice for us. The tour went from Monterossa southeast along the coast and Sam explained geography and some of the history of the area while we enjoyed the awesome views of the five towns while sipping prosecco (they had non-alcohol drinks available too). We stopped and swam/snorkled for a bit which was refreshing in the crystal clear water, then got back onboard and had some apertifs. Then we headed back up the coast enjoying a beautiful sunset. We thought this was the highlight of our trip to Cinque Terre and great value for the money!
Ciao! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Reading that this was the highlight of your trip to the Cinque Terre truly means the world to us. Every day we try to share not only the beauty of these villages, but also the stories, traditions and love we have for this coastline, so knowing that you felt that connection makes us incredibly happy. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Sam as well. Having grown up here, he loves helping guests discover the Cinque Terre through the eyes of a local. Thank you for spending the evening with us, for your wonderful company, and for appreciating all the little moments along the way. We hope one day the sea will bring you back to our corner of the world. A big hug from the sea, Magda & Alessandro
I had booked for the wrong day, and Magda was extremely accomodating and offered use another day, it was the sunset cruise, it was beautiful, ale and the guide where extremely friendly and knew a lot of local history about the villages, we stopped for a swim and the procecco was definately flowing! Would absolutely recommend a beautiful way to watch the sunset
Ciao Rachel! Thank you so much for your lovely review I'm so happy we were able to find a solution and have you on board with us after the booking mix-up. Sometimes the best memories come from plans that don't go exactly as expected! It was a real pleasure sharing the sunset, the stories, the swim stop, and of course a few glasses of flowing prosecco together. Knowing that you would recommend the experience means so much to us. Thank you for your trust and your kindness, and we hope to see you again one day here in the Cinque Terre for another beautiful sunset at sea A big hug from the sea, Magda & Alessandro

This was a fantastic sunset cruise! The view of each of the five cities from the water was stunning and gives quite a different perspective. The food and wine were great to go with the great views and lighting! A quick swim was welcomed in the clear water ad well.

A beautiful way to end the day learning about the history of the Cinque Terre, with lots of interesting facts from Valeria our host. We enjoyed homemade tasty treats and lots of prosecco! We stopped for a dip in a cove and chased the sunset which was stunning! Also saw dolphins on the way which was a treat. Definitely recommend this. Thank you!
