Daniela and her team, including captain Maurizio, charted such a great route exploring the waters and caves around beautiful Portovenere. They were so warm and welcoming and created a great atmosphere where we became quite friendly with the other 4 guests on the boat. It felt like we came on as strangers and left as family.
The food that Daniela and team prepared was divine, and we are Italian (American) with some high standards but the freshness of the mussels, the cook on the pasta, the flowing wine… it all led to an incredible experience.
Jumping in the sea was the best part and we were able to do so many times at different stops.
I would highly recommend anyone going to Cinque Terre to spend at least 1-2 nights in Portovenere and make this boat tour during the day a MUST.
Wow. Where to begin? If I could award these guys 10/5 I would! They surpassed all expectations and provided the most exceptional service.
The tour itself was fantastic, our lovely guide was knowledgeable and had such a passion for the area. We were shown some beautiful scenery, truly breathtaking waters, caves and buildings.
After we had seen Porto Venere, we were taken to a swimming spot, where we anchored and snorkelled. The guides are fisherman by trade, so were able to point out the fish in the water and give us interesting facts about them.
They then gave us Prosecco and snacks whilst the tour continued on. We sailed around the islands, stopping to swim again, before we anchored for lunch.
Where to begin with lunch? They put on the most incredible spread, freshly caught local fish, anchovies, baked and stuffed mussels. It was a taste sensation, and that was just the beginning. Keeping us well and truly topped up with Prosecco and white wine, they then brought out the main event. Fresh pasta, cooked perfectly (of course), with squid and other seafood.
We could not wish for anything on this trip as they had already thought of everything. They treated us with such care and kindness, we felt so special and welcome. I cannot recommend them enough. If you do one thing on your holiday, make sure it’s booking a tour with this company. You will not be disappointed. We genuinely felt emotional leaving the boat because we’ve never experienced such amazing service from such wonderful people

The tour operators...
The tour operators provided a lovely day on the water with information about the sights and beautifully prepared seafood that they had caught the day before. Consider yourself lucky to snag a spot on this boat.

Unique experience!
Wonderful tour with stops to swim in the most beautiful places. We saw the red and black rock faces near the Cinque Terre and then visited Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. By the way this is one of the few tours that these islets do.
Daniela, Maurizio and Daria were really very kind and helpful. I really enjoyed the fact that they explained the things we saw and it was nice to talk and share with them.
Also spectacular lunch, with fresh fish.
They also offer comfortable inflatables for bathing!
Price quality ratio: delicious!!!!
Very recommended for those who want to give a cuddle in the middle of the sea.
In summary: highly recommended, wonderful experience that at least once in a lifetime must be done!

Best afternoon with plenty of snorkeling and beautiful nature
Absolutely a good experience! We had the best day and masses of snorkeling, bathing and springing from the roof of the boat. Really delicious food.

Poor experience
We took this “all-day” tour with 5 children and 4 adults. After corresponding with the owner and discussing options, we decided on this tour because of the cave swimming/snorkeling and towing the kids behind the boat. We passed one cave but there was no snorkeling .when my child asked about the inflatable we were informed that it was broken and out for repair. Based on what transpired later, I’m not confident that was true. We did snorkel and ate a delicious lunch but for some reason the boat docked during lunch. After lunch they were not able get the boat started again so we swam around in a gross harbor and were picked up by a fishing boat full of nets and returned to our departure point. We asked for a discount and to put it mildly it did not go well. We fully understand that this is small business and their livelihood. We would have been satisfied with a small discount per person but it was not to be. At the end of the day, we felt like we got scammed.
This is in direct contrast to a sailing trip we took earlier in our vacation.

Gentile signora innanzitutto voi avete prenotato come tour conviviale ma al momento dell imbarco volevate l esclusiva della barca tutta per voi senza pagare per tale opzione.
Durante il tour vi abbiamo fatto fare molte soste bagno ma all interno di grotte o insenature è FATTO DIVIETO dalla legge per pericolo caduta massi, quindi il comandante non può effettuare tali ingressi.
Avete avuto accesso al nostro frigo bar bevendo oltremisura nonostante come da regolamento le quantità da cotratto sono ben inferiori. Ivostri ragazzi hanno bevuto bibite senza limiti e nulla è stato chiesto come surplus. Al momento della imbarco avete comunicato che 3 persone non mangiavano pesce???nonostante ciò debba essere comunicato prima e con un extra addebito per il cambio menu. Nulla è stato chiesto e vi abbiamo accontentato.
I giochi d acqua e l attrezzatura per snorkeling vi è stata data. Avete rotto 2 maschere e nulla vi è stato addebitato. Un gonfiabile era rotto ed,il comandante ha deciso che non sarebbe stato sicuro farvelo usare. La nostra attività è tour con bagno aperitivo e pranzo....no gonfiabili.
Vi abbiamo procurato una fantastica torta come da vostre richieste consegnata dal pasticcere pochi minuti prima dell imbarco...torta per 9 persone di frutta fresca.
Avete richiesto voi acque più calme perché ad uno di voi dava fastidio il mare.
Alle 15.30 abbiamo servito il dolce come da foto fatte da altri ospiti.
Alle 16 il tour come da contratto finisce e vi abbiamo accompagnato al porto con l altra nostra barca in quanto risultava un problema al motore ma il tour era già terminato da tempo e trattasi comunque di una barca caratteristica da pesca famosa in tutto il mondo.
Siete scesi e siete letteralmente scappati.
Vi ho dovuto richiamare invitandovi a pagare altrimenti avrei chiamato i carabinieri e così avete fatto.
La verità va raccontata tutta.
Avete mangiato di tutto e di più, avete bevuto a sfregio, neppure la torta volevate pagare.
A testimonianza di ciò che dico gli altri ospiti stranieri che hanno fornito una recensione meravigliosa di quella giornata.
Bisogna essere onesti e leali.
