This three hour boat tour was exactly what our family needed to see the five towns from the water. Our 8 year old loved when we jumped off the boat to swim and our aperitivo onboard. The captain was so kind and location was easy to find. He gave us history lessons on the area and how it has changed. What a beautiful evening!

Incredibly enjoyable, peaceful, beautiful. Our guide and Captain was captivating. He was so interested and passionate. He gave us great information and connected with each of us individually. It is a stunning way to see Cinque terre. The food and prosecco were amazing. I cannot recommend this enough.

William and Matteo were amazing guides! We had so much fun at our swim spot and I appreciated that we didn’t feel rushed enjoying our time. William gave us info about each village as we passed and Matteo served us all our focaccia and wine. Completely recommend!!

Best part of our trip

Robert_B, Aug 2026
We stayed in monterosso and then walked the 4 other villages throughout the weekend with various different activities to see as much as we could of the area. But from the sea is an amazing way to see it from a different perspective. Both the crew were amazing. Made sure we had everything we wanted and were very knowledgeable about the local area. Helping us discover more of the cinque terre and answering all our questions. Food and drink was perfect. Swimming and snorkelling was a great addition too. Recommend this any one and everyone of all ages.

Delightful sunset boat cruise

Agatha_S, Jul 2026
We really enjoyed our sunset boat tour. The driver and his assistant did a great job telling us about the coastline and about Cinque Terre and the different towns. They provided delicious wine and snacks. We stopped at a pretty place for swimming for those who wanted. It was just a really nice evening and I would highly recommend it.

Absolutely MAGIC 💖

Vanessa_B, Jul 2026
Our trip to Italy came with a few unexpected challenges, and if I’m honest, I left some days feeling discouraged. But this boat ride was everything I didn’t know my heart needed. From the moment we stepped aboard, Mateo and his assistant were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. The conversation was effortless, the vibes were perfect, and they truly cared about giving everyone the best experience possible. What meant the most was how they read the moment. Instead of rushing us, they let us stay in the water longer because they could see everyone was enjoying it. It never felt like they were watching the clock. It felt like they were creating memories. Then came the ride back. The sun slowly dipped below the horizon, the sea turned to gold, and our own music played in the background. It was one of the most magical sunsets I’ve ever experienced. I literally had tears in my eyes. Thank you, Mateo, for creating a memory my kids and I will carry with us forever. I truly cannot recommend this experience enough. Some moments become part of your story, and this was one of them. 🤍🇮🇹🌅

A+ Boat Tour

The sunset boat ride through Cinque Terre was an unforgettable experience! Seeing all five towns from the water at sunset was absolutely breathtaking. The drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about each village, making the trip even more enjoyable. Their expertise and enthusiasm made us feel safe and welcome throughout the tour. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cinque Terre!

The two gentlemen who ran our tour were so nice and super informative. It was a wonderful way to learn about the Cinque Terre. We stopped for a swim where there were so many beautiful fish and my kids loved jumping into the water from the boat! Plus they gave us delicious focaccia and drinks as we all enjoyed the sunset. Absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful sunset boat tour

Kirsty_H, Jul 2026
We had the most beautiful sunset boat trip along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages. It was the perfect way to end our day. The guide told us lots of interesting bits of information about the villages and we got chance to swim. They provided amazing appetisers and lots of choice of drinks and we watched the sunset. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Our family of 4 had a fantastic time! Mateo and Matia were phenomenal captains and tour guides. They even let our son steer the boat! To top it off the aperitivo and prosecco were perfect! Would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful Sunset Cruise with Lovely Guides

Jen_H, Jun 2026
Beautiful cruise of Cinque Terre with the exceptional crew of Lorenzo and William. They provided a lovely balance of information about the towns and sites with time to just relax and enjoy the beauty. Great snacks and drinks and an amazing swim off the boat. Highly recommend. We saw several boats with people crammed on their tours with no shade available. Ours had space and shade and the delightful company of the crew and passengers. Perfect!

Great sized boat and friendly captain

Romantic & Beautiful

Jason_L, May 2026
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!

Carolyn_W, May 2026
This was a wonderful excursion. The boat was not crowded (there were 12 of us) and we had plenty room, the snacks and wine were lovely and more than we could eat. Loved listening to the stores of the area and enjoying a very relaxing time on the water. Plus the sunset...it was stunning.

Boating along the coast...

Tanya_S, May 2026
Boating along the coast was beautiful. Being a little cooler, our group opted for a stop in Vernazza instead of swimming. We were offered local white wine, prosecco, beer and soda. They provided individual platters of local appetizers to each couple on board. This was a wonderful tour, made even more beautiful with the sunset. Highly recommend
