Anna_S, Jul 2026

Simply fantastic

This was the highlight of the week. Daniela and her crew was terrific and made us feel so at home on her boat. Snacks, drinks and fruit coming in as we enjoyed the scenery. We had many great stops for swimming and snorkeling. Thank you for a fantastic day that all of us (3 generations) appreciated!

Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Tour from Monterosso

James_S, Jun 2026

Highlight of our trip

They thought of everything! We were immediately offered cold drinks upon stepping on board. We saw beautiful sights, heard interesting stories, and swam in the refreshing sea. We had plenty of time at each stop to get photos …they took pictures of us several times. We enjoyed Prosecco and beer as we floated on noodles. They provided swim goggles to see the beautiful fish. Midway through the trip, they also offered us snacks…delicious focaccia with cheese and pesto and assorted chips. Our captain, Johnny, and first mate, Eleanora, were friendly and competent. My husband and I would highly recommend this trip.

Jacob was the best tour guide!

The second stop has the best beaches if you’re going to swim. You only have an hour though. It was a beautiful experience but very crowded. The tour was worth the money if you have a good tour guide who can explain the sites on the 2 1/2 hour drive to the first town.

Great trip with Diana

Yes, it was a long hot day, but Diana, our tour guide and driver was superb. Our three stops in Cinque Terre were truly fabulous and we had a lovely lunch (at our expense). It was a wonderful trip. As for the Tower of Pisa, I found it less interesting and very commercial with a lot of hawkers.

Cinque Terre Sunset Tour by Boat

Bella_M, Jun 2026

An unforgettable sunset cruise

Everything about this experience was great. The initial communication, the personalized email message, and the meet-and-greet were all excellent. The information shared by our captain (I'm terrible with names, but I'm pretty sure it was Franco) made the trip even more enjoyable. He even dropped us off in Monterosso, where we were staying, which saved us a train ride back. The drinks were flowing throughout the cruise, and although it was a small group of only eight people, everyone was friendly, having a great time, and enjoying getting to know one another. I highly recommend this company and this experience. In my opinion, if you don't do a sunset cruise, you miss so much of what makes this beautiful part of the world so special. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a blast and took some amazing photos that will last a lifetime!

Great day exploring Cinque Terre!

Cinque Terre Boat Tours Experience

Kevin_I, Jun 2026

20/10 Highly Recommend.

Matteo and William were phenomenal. They made it super easy to communicate with super clear instructions getting to, on, and off the boat. the boat tour itself was absolutely stunning, the snacks, drinks, light music if you’d like. They were also so knowledgeable of the history of everything we toured by and we just had the perfect day. 20/10 highly recommend. Jumping off the boat into the crystal clear water in about 15 ft depth with snorkel gear, we saw octopus, fish, caves, you name it. The experience exceeded expectations. We also really appreciated that the boat was so nice and not over sold, it felt like we had a private experience and made friends with the other family with us. Vibes were awesome all around.

Best Way to Spend the Evening in 5terre!

Incredible views you can only see from the water. It was a long tour, but no surprises and it was worth the money. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, there was a nice selection of beverages, and pro tip: when you get the option to go swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water… say yes!

Romantic & Beautiful

This was the perfect boat tour for our honeymoon. There were only 4 other guests on our tour so it was quiet and romantic. We loved seeing Cinque Terre from the ocean. The views are absolutely unmatched. The best photos from our trip are from this boat tour. They gave us delicious food and the drink options were great. The tour guides were super friendly and kind. We would absolutely recommend!

Cinque Terra private boat tour with Simone

Stunning landscapes viewed from the Sea, narrated by an excellent, informative and entertaining captain. Simone was warm and polite from the start, he provided lots of information and helped make a very memorable experience. He brought along delicious focaccia bread and fresh, and outstanding homemade pesto made by his mother - it was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the sea with Simone and would certainly recommend this tour. Grazie mille, Simone.
