Details
Explore the cliffs, beaches, and towns of the Cinque Terre on a half-day RIBboat trip from La Spezia. Admire the five villages as you cruise the Ligurian coast.
Sail past the Borgate Marinare, then head to Portovenere, crossing Le Bocche, a strait near Palmaria Island. See the Saint Peter Church, perched on the rocks, and discover hidden coves like Le Rosse, Monesteroli, and Punta Pineda. From there, enjoy breathtaking views of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare. Spot the Via dell’Amore trail and terraced vineyards, a symbol of heroic agriculture.
Arriving in Monterosso al Mare, taste local specialties like focaccia with anchovies or gelato, and swim in the crystal-clear waters. On the way back, pass by mussel farms and enjoy the coastal views. With luck, you might even see dolphins for an unforgettable experience!

A superb ride up close to the Cinque Terre, combining discovery and the thrill of speed in a small group. An excellent prelude to a visit to these colorful gems by land.
A one-hour stopover for the visit is welcome.
