Description
Experiencing a sunset in Cinque Terre is like witnessing a live painting of shifting colors right before your eyes. This splendid moment offers a tranquil and serene ambiance that envelops Cinque Terre. The manner in which the sunlight illuminates the villages often renders them akin to a picturesque postcard scene. Enjoy expansive views of the Cinque Terre coastline at sunset aboard a traditional Italian boat, with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers. The evening's schedule features an "aperitivo" with typical local delicacies, leisure time to unwind with your companions, and numerous opportunities for capturing photos worthy of a frame.

Itinerary
Meet 10 minutes before the departure time at the boarding dock in Monterosso (where the ferries leave) and start of the boat tour.
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.
Further along, you will see Corniglia: the smallest village of the Cinque Terre, built far above the ocean on the cliffs.
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.
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.
The last village of Cinque Terre is Riomaggiore, a picturesque coast-side village with post-card perfect panoramas at every bend.
The tour will end in Monterosso, after about 3 hours.

The police patrol and the boat captain seemed to be in a dispute about whether or not the boat could pick our group up at the doc. Apparently the captains are supposed to pay a fee to pick up people but squirted around paying them and often pick people up there anyway. This seemed to have angered the paying customers that do pay the fee. However the police just smiled and said they can pick you up and when they tried it was obvious they were going to get detained. They went back and forth for 45 minutes before the captain said I am sorry I am not allowed to pick you up. Not something you want to deal with on a once in a lifetime trip. We did get our money back but just be sure whoever you book with has the clearance to pick you up at the dock. We later learned this is not uncommon.
We had an amazing experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and local so she could tell us all the history. Our captain was teaching us nautical details that were great addition.
A beautiful way to see the Cinque Terre. Highly recommend- wear your bathing suit if you want to jump in the water - it was lovely in August!
Beautiful way to see the coastline!
Our sunset cruise was the most memorable experience we had on our trip to Italy! Our cruise felt out of a movie, perfect in every way. Luca and Mattia were informative, fun, and warm. They made us feel welcome with their vibes, the drinks and the explanation of Cinque Terre. We got to stop and swim in the water, and see the fish. I would highly highly recommend this cruise! You will absolutely not be disappointed. We left with a lifelong memory and new friends! Thank you Mattia and Luca!
