Our recent cruise was canceled without any notification. It was very upsetting since we were waiting for quite a while.

Fantastic day. The weather was amazing but our captains were also fantastic. They were so informative and friendly.

This was by far one of the nicer boats out there, super comfortable and spacious. The guides were the perfect amount of charming and gave great history. Lots of food and wine and the perfect views.

we didn't do the tour due to bad weather, so I can't evaluate it. Unfortunatelly, but we underdstand that this happens.

A perfectly organised sunset cruise. Easy to find the most. Young staff interesting and engaged with everyone in the boat. Thoroughly enjoyed.

The captain and mate were so great. They were knowledgeable about the towns and shared the history of Cinque Terre. They were proficient in taking great photos as well. Highly recommend this trip! They had a great Focaccia board, water, soda, wine and proscecco.

Really great, relaxing ride. We were running late and texted the group via Viator. It turned out the boat was also a bit behind (only 10 minutes), but the fact they were responsive was reassuring. Matteo is great tour guide, captain and just a nice welcoming human. He has several facts for every town and really tries to engage each individual (if they're open to it). The boat is also quite spacious and well kept. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit + towel since they take you to a nice cove with super clear water (I forgot or didn't read), especially nice on a hot day as the tour gets started. They bring plenty of beverages and platters of different breads, focaccias which were delicious. After you hit each town, the sunset ride back to Monterosso is quite romantic. Our group had great camaraderie and it's totally family friendly (there was a 2 year old on board with us). There are a lot of boat tours you can sign up for, I would come back to this one.

This is the best way to see Cinque Terre! This was an absolutely wonderful experience. The views are breathtaking!! You really get to experience the most beautiful views of Cinque Terre from the boat. Matteo and his mate were so attentive. They had snacks and drinks for us. Those that wanted could swim. The sunset was so beautiful. It was actually my 60th birthday. I could not have chosen a better way to celebrate it! Thank you for an amazing experience!
Stefano_F, Aug 2025
Amazing experience! Very freindly organizers and beautiful destiantions and lots of drinks and focacce!
Cassie_L, Jul 2025
Amazing views, perfectly timed to the sunset over the mountains. We really enjoyed the snack and aperitifs. William & Matthew were great guides, so friendly and knowledgeable of the area.
David_P, Jul 2025
This sunset boat tour was the best part of our trip. William and Matteo were amazing, friendly, funny, and made everyone feel welcome. The small group made it feel personal and relaxed. We got drinks, snacks, and great stories about each village. The sunset views were stunning. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

We were greeted by Captain Mateo and first mate Michael then boarded the boat in the port of Monterosso for the cruise. Such a beautiful area to stroll before you go. Cruised the coastline of the Cinque Terre with Michael doing a great job of explaining the history of each village. Endless photo opps along the way, the water truly is an azure blue. Midway through the trip the captain anchored for a brief period to allow time for a quick swim, then we continued on past the final two villages.
We then circled back toward Monterosso and anchored again, this time to watch the sunset. It was amazing, the music softly playing in the background while sipping wine and watching a gorgeous sunset. A great ending of our trip to Italy.
Thank you Mateo & Michael for a magnificent evening! We will book again when we return.

Humberto was awesome and friendly. Very knowledgeable about CT. The boat was comfortable, optional swimming is a MUST! Do not skip the swimming with the masks, you see tons of fish. Drinks and snack were delicious and plentiful.
Heather_C, Jul 2025
Wonderful quaint experience. Excellent views and great guide. Highly recommended. Laid back and comfortable.
Julie_C, Jul 2025
It was wonderful! Matteo and William were our guides/boat drivers and they were so nice and gave lots of interesting info as we sailed by the towns. It was beautiful and fun! Loved it and highly recommend!
Margi_B, Jun 2025
We had a great time. Our guides were local and knowledgeable about the area, and yet easy going. They were also great with kids - our kids loved it. If I had one complaint about this tour, it would be to ask the tour company to be more specific about whether a meal will be offered. Our guides provided snacks, but it wasn't enough for the kids. Otherwise, it was a wonderful tour!
BrunoMatias_F, Jun 2025
Great experience! UMBERTO the guide was great, he told us the history about all towns and was very kind. We were able to go into the sea, eat some local foods and drink the local wine. We totally recommend.
Bruno and Agustina from Argentina :)

Go on this tour! Sea Breeze is locally owned and has 4 employees who all grow up in the area. Our boat was run by Lorenzo and William and they were great. They were knowledgeable about the area, kind, and we had so much fun. There’s several companies that do this type of cruise so many will be the same, but I’m happy to support a local business that was well organized and exactly what we were looking for.

Small intimate sunset boat cruise to see Cinque Terre from the water. Lovely snacks and local wine provided. Stopped in one town for a leisurely stroll to see shops.
Kristy_A, Jun 2025
Wonderful boat tour. Matteo was an excellent captain. Beautiful views along the coast before a lovely sunset.
Kim_F, Jun 2025
The sunset boat tour with Matteo was excellent—Great wine, delicious focaccia and smooth sailing. Snorkeling was an unexpected bonus
Elizabeth_N, Jun 2025
Our tour of Cinque Terre was lovely. Prefect weather. We got to jump off the boat and swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our guides and hosts, Dimitri and Umberto, provided tasty snacks (dinner for me) and beverages, as well as commentary on all of the gorgeous landscape. You must do this tour! 100% worth it!
Marvin_P, Jun 2025
A wonderful experience. Would highly recommend. The crew was very professional & engaging. The boat was clean and the food & drink added to the terrific experience,
Rachel_R, Jun 2025
Great evening...Sailed by the five towns...stopped in Vernazza for 30 min to sightsee..,appetizers snd drinks were fantastic...Roberto and other crew member gave us lots of info on towns and sights...fun group of people!

The sunset boat tour of Cinque Terre was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized. The guides were not only friendly and professional but also deeply knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. We felt completely at ease and in safe hands throughout the experience.
The pace of the boat ride was relaxed and enjoyable, allowing us to take in the stunning coastline. It was interesting to learn that large vessels (other than ferries) aren't permitted close to shore—something that really helps preserve the beauty and character of the villages. The boat itself was clean, very comfortable, and stocked with drinks and snacks, which was a nice touch.
We also appreciated the opportunity to disembark and explore one of the villages for a little over half an hour, giving us a taste of local life before returning to Monterosso.
Overall, this is a fantastic tour—well worth the money and a truly memorable way to experience the magic of Cinque Terre.
