This is the bucket-list cruise you need to do while in the Cinque Terre. A relaxing, 2-hour tour, where you'll get a front-row view of the colorful villages of the iconic Cinque Terre (a photographer's dream) while being on a traditional Liguria gozzo boat. The swim stop at sunset, in the middle of the Ligurian Sea will be one of the best things you did on your Italian vacation. (Flexible itinerary) Join us! Once on board, you won't want to leave.
Out at sunset: the 4:30 PM departure is under way when the sun sets, around 6:25 PM in the coming weeks.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 10.
Discover breathtaking views from our traditional Ligurian gozzo. This is a must-do 2 hr tour while in the Cinque Terre! You'll get an up-close view of Riomaggiore as we depart its port. We'll then cruise towards the iconic via dell'Amore to arrive to Manarola. After answering a few questions here, we'll move along the coastline to see stunning cliffs and hidden sea caves before arriving to the 3rd village, Corniglia, the smallest of the Cinque Terre, sitting on top of a cliff (stunning!). We'll then visit Vernazza and its photogenic harbor - just like in the postcards. Before returning back to Riomaggiore, we'll stop for an unforgettable swim in front of Vernazza (at secluded Guvano Beach) with a front row sunset view. Sip on Cinque Terre white wine and enjoy the locally made focaccia on board. Laugh 'til your belly hurts with this super fun group. If you're lucky enough, spot a few dolphins... This is a different view of the Cinque Terre : a front row seat, away from the crowds!

We’ve been to the Cinque Terre before and alway jumped on the ferry. This time we selected a sunset tour with Del Mar. We had a great time with Edoardo. He gives a great history of each town and the region in general. I would place this on a must do list. Also try and get Edoardo…hes great.
From meeting up and getting on the boat was a pleasant experience. The skipper chatted a lot and made great contact with all.. he explained the area and supplied ample wine and snacks!! Wonderful swim!
The views from the boat were amazing, and we timed sunset perfectly. Our Captain Diego, was great and could have shared some additional information. Wine was plentiful, however the focaccia was mediocre. All in all, a great cruise that we would recommend.
We went on an exclusive sunset boat cruise with our skipper Luca. He told us many interesting facts about all the villages, had a great sense of humour and played some awesome Italian songs. We enjoyed 2 swim stops, had some wine and focaccia bread and thoroughly enjoyed this sunset cruise, it was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Fillipe and his mate were very kind and excellent with sharing their knowledge. Thank you for the hospitality. It was a lovely cruise.
Seeing the villages on foot was great but seeing it from the water is spectacular and a MUST-DO! Cinque Terre is gorgeous and a dream come to life. We came late in the season, so we didn’t swim, but this tour was one of my favorite activities of our entire Italy getaway. Our captain, Roberto was fun and engaging with lots of stories and information. Wine, snacks and on-board playlist were excellent. There was a magical sunset through the clouds rolling into the area. Felt like we lucked out with weather and timing before the end of the season! As someone who gets a bit of seasickness, this ride felt smooth or maybe the views just took my mind to a dream-like state! Highly recommend!!! Thank you, Francesco and the rest of the team (especially captain Roberto) for making this dream a reality!
Such an amazing boat tour with great views and fun! Dave was an incredible guide with so much knowledge and knew how to give a group a great time. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see the beautiful villages of Cinque Terre.
We had a great trip with Dave. We got to swim in the sea, drink white wine, enjoy focaccia and meet me friends. What a wonderful cruise with great people! I highly recommend this sunset cruise!
We had an incredible experience with Cinque Terre dal Mare! After we failed to confirm our reservation, they went above and beyond to ensure we could still have a perfect experience. Our captain was knowledgeable and showed us an incredible time. I couldn’t recommend their tours enough — a perfect way to see Cinque Terre!
