Details
Discover the beauty of the Cinque Terre at sunset on this boat tour departing from Monterosso. On board our comfortable traditional boat with skipper, you will cruise from Monterosso to Riomaggiore, admiring dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and the colorful villages perched along this iconic stretch of coastline.
We will start by sailing past Fegina beach to admire the famous Giant statue, a striking sculpture depicting Neptune. Continuing south, we will reach Vernazza, one of the most charming villages in the Cinque Terre, surrounded by vineyards and overlooking a picturesque little harbor. We will then head to Guvano Bay, a pristine pebble beach with turquoise waters, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim and snorkeling stop. Masks and floats are provided on board.
After the swim, prosecco, Aperol Spritz, beer and other refreshments will be offered as we continue towards Corniglia, the only village not directly connected to the sea, perched on a rocky promontory about 100 meters high. We will then admire Manarola, with its colorful houses built on a steep rock, before reaching Riomaggiore, a historic village dating back to the 7th century. During the return, we will sail about 500 meters offshore to enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the Cinque Terre Bay before heading back to Monterosso.

It was a really fun boat trip and I highly recommend it. It's a beautiful way to explore the Cinque Terre from the water. Maximum 12 people. Our boat was called Aphrodite (with a toilet on board) with Giacomo as captain and Amy as stewardess. Fantastic people, and nothing was too much trouble for them. We also had plenty of drinks and food. The snorkeling was great, and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The kids had a blast! Even though we boarded in Portovenere but still had to take the bus back to La Spezia, the skipper dropped us off in La Spezia. We were very happy about that.
