What an incredible experience! My wife and I decided we were too old and out of shape for the Cinque Terre hike. We decided to take a boat tour to see the Five Lands from the sea and couldn't be happier. Dimitri, our guide, was fabulous. He spent time speaking about the five lands. We had our own private tour, we were offered food and drink and a chance to snorkel, Honestly, I think this is the only way to see all five villages (lands). I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing experience with a private tour of Cinque Terre by boat. Spectacular un-obstructed views of the coastline. A stop for diving and swimming, ok tails and home made finger food for the ride back to Monterosso. Captain Matteo was personable and shared his deep knowledge of the area and its history. He is a native of Levanto. Thank you, Matteo. You did great. Helped make our vacation special. Keep up the great work! Take care of your beautiful family!

Private boat trip (with a bathroom on board) gave a spectacular perspective on Cinque Terre, along with geographical and historical information about this stunningly beautiful area.

We had issues from the first moment of booking this service. Viator platform confirmed a date then I spend the next few days with operator reconfirming an alternative date as they advised they didn't have availability. This meant I moved around other tours/arrangements I had. A date was finally confirmed then the week we arrived they used "weather conditions" as an excuse to cancel and then couldn't rebook due to "weather" or other bookings. Weather conditions were fine - lots of other boats out on the water and we ended up finding another local operator who took us out or an amazing day exploring the Cinque Terre coastline.

We had the most amazing tour with Sea Breeze Boat Tours and our guide Matteo. The boat is emaculate, he provides great information, and they have all the essentials that you need (snorkeling gear, snacks, water, beer, wine, and a bathroom!!!!). It’s a must to see the Cinque Terre by boat and this is the company I would use again. Grazie mille Matteo and Sea Breeze Boat Tours!

Amazing time with our 3 kids (ages 9, 11 and 14). Nice to be able to customize it a little bit. The kids wanted to snorkel twice, so we did. The food was delicious and plentiful. The best way to see Cinque Terre in the summer heat!
Brittney_C, Aug 2024
The best afternoon experiencing Cinque Terre by water! I was nervous to spend this kind of money on a few hours but it was worth every penny. An unforgettable experience and the best way to view the area. Can’t recommend enough!
Christopher_H, Jul 2024
We had an amazing tour with Captain Matteo! He showed our family of 5 (3 little ones) all the beautiful spots in Cinque Terre, shared the history of the five towns along the way, and we even got to snorkel in crystal clear waters! Delicious snacks and drinks were the cherry on top. We highly recommend taking a tour with Matteo!
Louis_C, Jul 2024
Our boat operator Matteo made you feel at home and comfortable from the start. You could tell he loved what he does and was so knowledgeable about the area. Great experience!
Susan_A, Jul 2024
Just perfect. The boat was clean and comfortable. Terrific snacks, drinks. Snorkels and a delightful swim in the sea. And the views! Wow. Highly recommend!
Jeremy_C, Jun 2024
We loved this tour and will recommend this to everyone going to Cinque Terre. Matteo was wonderful. He made our experience easy and relaxed. We took our 3 kids, ages 10, 13, and 15– and they loved it. Thank Matteo

Lorenzo was great; laid back & friendly & super informative! And the tour is a nice way to see all the Cinque Terre has to offer. Highly recommend this tour.
Matthew_S, Sep 2023
We had a perfect and memorable experience with Matteo. We took a private 3-hour tour with our family, which includes two kids under 2. Booking, pick up, and all communication was easy and on point. Matteo ensured we, and the kids, had a great time. The tour was great and the swimming / snorkeling was the highlight!
Richard_L, Sep 2023
We’re not up for hiking up and down the mountains to see and appreciate the towns of Cinque Terre, so we opted for a private boat tour to see them from the sea. That was a really good decision.
Lorenzo arrived right on time and we set off on our adventure. He is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the area and was able to answer all our questions. We highly recommend this private tour, the price was well worth it.
Karly_M, Sep 2023
ur private boat tour in Cinque Terre was an absolute highlight of our trip. With a boat exclusively for my family of 8, we enjoyed a truly personalized experience. Our guides, Lorenzo and William, were nothing short of awesome! They shared their extensive knowledge as we cruised along the picturesque coast, providing insights about all five villages and the entire journey.
A special moment was when we docked at the edge of Riomaggiore, allowing us to snorkel and swim in the crystal-clear, beautiful waters. It was a mesmerizing experience as we observed the vibrant underwater world of fish and marine life.
After our aquatic adventure, Lorenzo and William treated us to an array of finger foods and refreshing drinks, ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout the tour. This private boat tour was an unforgettable journey, and we highly recommend it for a unique and enriching Cinque Terre experience.

We had a private boat tour with my wife and step daughter. Matteo was our host. He was fantastic with plenty of local knowledge and made us feel relaxed. He was the perfect host. Would recommend him to anyone wanting a private personalised tour.
Kathleen_M, Aug 2023
This was the best tour we did during our two weeks in Italy! Matteo was fabulous and did a great job balancing history and fun. Made everyone feel at ease in our family with children ranging in ages from 3-16. Great way to see all of Cinque Terre without the hiking which was hard with a little one. Worth every penny! Thank you!
Stephanie_Q, Aug 2023
We had a great day on the water. Matteo was able to change our itinerary, due to rough seas, from the Cinque Terre waters to the Gulf of Poets. We also had time to explore Ponto Venere, which is a great village! We learned a lot of history and interesting information on the area.
Navin_N, Jul 2023
This was a fantastic experience--one of our best of our two week trip in Italy. Matteo--the host/captain of the boat was phenomenal--conversational, friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and funny. His passion for the area really came through and made this an incredible experience. Highly recommend.
Benjamin_C, Jul 2023
Lorenzo our host was exceptional and we had a great trip- seeing the villages by boat was so good especially in the heat with young children
