Once we leave, we will reach Fezzano, one of the most beautiful villages in the Gulf of La Spezia that are along the way. We will reach this characteristic village of the area to allow guests to take some pictures and see a less famous village, but just as beautiful as those of the Cinque Terre.
We will continue sailing along the coast with the possibility to see some of the city villages from afar. We'll pass by the outer dam, which protects the inland coast. In this area we will see the characteristic farms of muscles and oysters. We will then reach Portovenere, a beautiful pearl on the sea! It 'a very beautiful village and romantic at the same time: here guests will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of its colorful houses, typical of these areas with the opportunity to take some photos.
We will continue slowly to fully enjoy the surrounding landscape, with the possibility of taking some photos or enjoying a few minutes of relaxation in front of the wonderful church of San Pietro, which stands on the most extreme point of the village and overlooking the open sea.
Just behind the church of St. Peter, there is the famous Byron cave, so called because it was an inspiration for many poets in the history of the place including, in fact, the noble poet Lord Byron. This place is very charming and is much loved by local people.
We will soon reach one of the places I love most: Le Rosse, a light red rock face, characterized by the massive presence of iron inside it from which it owes its color. Here the crystal clear water and rocky bottom create the perfect place for a relaxing break where you can dive in for a refreshing swim or snorkel to admire the beauty of the underwater nature.
After the stop, we will continue sailing along the coast. We will see the Ferale rock, a pyramidal rock just off the coast that emerges for 30 meters. Between this and the coast there is a shallow area where you can admire the beauty of the sea, the seabed and the surrounding landscape. We will see some of the oldest villages of this stretch of coast such as Schiara and Monesteroli, perched on the mountain overlooking the sea, very difficult to reach on foot and, for this reason, little tourist.
We will continue along the coast until we enter the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area. At this point, we will reach Monterosso, the last of the villages of the Cinque Terre, where customers will disembark for 1.5 hours. In this way you will have the opportunity to have lunch in one of the characteristic restaurants of the area, take a relaxing walk through the streets of the old town among shops and characteristic shops.
Once back on board, we will leave to reach Vernazza, one of the most beautiful and well-known resorts of the Cinque Terre. Here you can make stops to admire the beauty of the place and take some pictures.
We will continue our journey to Corniglia. This village differs from the others of the Cinque Terre because it is the only one that does not directly overlook the sea, but is located on top of a promontory about 100 meters high. It is worth getting closer to take some pictures of this equally wonderful village.
Reach Manarola, with its colorful houses overlooking the sea. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in this area, we will have the opportunity to stop for a relaxing swim and admire the beauty of this village at the same time.
We will continue towards the nearby Riomaggiore, where it will be possible to make a short stop to take some souvenir photos. We will also see from the sea the famous Via dell'Amore, a small path overlooking the sea, recently renovated, which connects Manarola to Riomaggiore.
We will continue the tour returning to the Portovenere area and take a tour of the islands. The first of these, and the largest, is Palmaria Island. The location of the island creates points very sheltered from wind and rough seas and it will be spectacular to see the rocky walls overlooking the sea that characterize the southern side of the island.
Proceed around the archipelago sailing towards the island of Tinos, triangular in shape and for several years under the control of the Navy. On the top of the island was built the military lighthouse, which over time has become the symbol of the city, always a guide for sailors.
A few meters from Tino, there is this small island that looks more like a large emerging rock. This area can only be reached by sea and is much loved by the inhabitants of the city. It will be wonderful to stop for one last relaxing stop and dive into this crystal clear water.

We did a full day doing a small group tour from La Spezia to Cinque Terre with Andre’ . We had food and drinks supplied. Andre was funny and easy to understand and generous with his time,food and drinks. He was a delight. I highly recommend this tour.
Absolutely unforgettable! ❤️ Our boat trip along the Cinque Terre coast with Andrea and Rosso alle Rosse was hands down the best day of our entire holiday! Everything was simply perfect, the breathtaking coastline, the crystal-clear water, the beautiful little villages from the sea, and of course Andrea himself. He was such an incredible guide: knowledgeable, warm, funny and genuinely passionate about the area. He made the whole experience feel both relaxed and incredibly special. We were a group of friends, and we all agreed afterwards that this was the absolute highlight of our trip. It was one of those days you know you’ll remember for a very long time. If you’re visiting Cinque Terre, don’t hesitate, book a boat trip with Andrea. You won’t regret it. We would happily do this again in a heartbeat! 😍
This day was superb! Everything was fantastic- the boat, the guide, the views, the feeling. It become a memory for life and I am so glad we took this tour ❤️
A very beautiful way to see the 5 Lands. The crew members were top-notch and very friendly. The explanations were given in French, which is a real plus. We were able to bring our little Yorkshire terrier. Several swimming stops were planned. We lacked neither food nor drink... everything was plentiful. It was truly a beautiful experience. I highly recommend Andrea and his captain 😀
My best boat trip, a top-notch guide who is kind, funny, and attentive. Music, Coke, beer, lemonade, and water available. For the whole day. We see the 5 villages, one of which we can visit. Swimming break in the clear and clean water, built-in shower, masks and snorkels and pool noodles provided. Canvas overhead for the sun. We are sitting on cushions. I highly recommend. Maxime chassin 😉
We were an adult family of four on a full-day tour from Porto Venere, and Andrea was the ultimate host - friendly, easy-going, and super responsive. His boat is stunning and comfortable, stocked with cold prosecco and beer flowing all day! The pristine waters and views of the Cinque Terre are breathtaking. Even my dad, a total swim-hater, couldn't resist diving in with Andrea's warm encouragement. Andrea customised the perfect mix of swimming spots and land time in Monterosso for us. 10/10 experience!
We were looking for a family event to explore the Cinque terre and came across Andrea's boat trip. Arrangements were done easily by phone 3 days before our trip and pickup was in the port of La Spezia at 10 am. We started out as a group of 12 people and had a 9 hour tour along the coast with various stop overs for swimming in the clearest waters imaginable. It was an amazing experience! Our skipper was extremely friendly and easy going with a lot of local knowledge. Atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful with some music (not too loud), prosecco/eine (or soft drinks) and local snacks (mid-tour). Will definitely recommend to friends and family travelling here. Bear in mind though that it's a relatively small boat travelling in the Mediterranean Sea for a full and, most likely, sunny day, so know your stomach and know your skin. Light food, sun blocker, hats and easy-to-put-on/off shirts worked fine for us. Again, big cheers to Andrea from Andrea!
This was an excellent trip! I was concerned, at first, because it was delayed to the afternoon because of bad weather. But, honestly, it was so much better to go out later and get to experience the sunset! They were incredibly professional, and I appreciate the effort they put in to make sure everyone had a pleasant day. Meanwhile, getting to see Cinque Terre from the water, rather than on land, actually gives you a much better sense of the towns. The swimming stops allow people to cool off and enjoy the Mediterranean. And, the food and drinks served on board were perfect for our needs.
Our experience was fun, our captain was great. Only issue was others being late to pick up meant that our time on the water and at our stop was cut short. Beautiful scenery and great stories of the area, we loved it.
It was a beautiful day! The landscape was magnificent! And Andrea, the lovely skipper. Friendly and attentive to the group, he contributed to making the experience enjoyable and relaxing. I always felt at ease. I recommend this tour!
