If you want to get off the beaten paths and trade the crowds for a relaxing day all for yourself, our private boat trip to Cinque Terre and Bay of Poets offers you the perfect solution! Gather your friends or family and board our boat at the location that is most convenient for you between La Spezia, Lerici, Monterosso, or Porto Venere. We will navigate in the Gulf of Poets, and continue to the canal of Porto Venere to admire the stunning Church of Saint Peter, and then move on to the Byron Cove. Afterwards, we will start our way towards Cinque Terre. As this is a private tour, you will be able to decide in which town you'd like to stop for lunch or sightseeing, and whether you want to make one or multiple snorkeling stops.

We rented a boat for 5 hours with a skipper and hostess. We visited the five villages of the Cinque Terre, listening to their stories directly from the crew. It was a fantastic experience, with lots of photos, a delicious lunch, and a beautiful swim in the sea.
Everything was organized impeccably: a few days before departure, they followed us every step of the way, always available via chat, updating us on the weather and sea conditions.
A fantastic experience, absolutely recommended to everyone! 🌟

A wonderful day exploring the Cinque Terre with Giacomo (the skipper) and Amy (the hostess). There were four of us adults on this excursion for our daughters' birthday. Giacomo and Amy took great care of us throughout the day, offering many thoughtful touches and attentive to our needs.
The boat was also perfect and perfectly coordinated with our hosts for this sightseeing excursion, making us feel like VIPs.
We would do it again without hesitation! Highly recommended.
