Fabulous evening on the sea! The crew made the trip fun and the food was great! Our part of two was joined by 2 other couples. The boat had a bathroom - big plus! You won’t regret booking this tour.

Overview

The Cinque Terre are known for their charm, which means they can get crowded during the day. This sunset tour by boat is the perfect way to see the fabulous five without mingling with a throng of fellow travelers. It departs from Monterosso al Mare and follows the coast to Riomaggiore and Punta Montenero, providing stunning views along the way. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to swim in one of the area's coves and to enjoy a savory, rich Italian aperitivo made from authentic Mediterranean ingredients.
  • A romantic choice for couples
  • Watch the sun set over the Cinque Terre
  • Keep a look out for the dolphins that sometimes visit the area
  • Perfect way to experience the beauty of the Italian coastline

Highly recommend! Stunning views, 4 course meal and rich history of cinque terra!

Jackie_N, Apr 2026
We were lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves and our captain’s passion for his home, cinque terra, shone through as he shared the history. The views are stunning and very different from being on shore. The 4 course meal was exceptional with simple fresh local ingredients and wine to match cooked on board. Best of all was the sunset. This was unforgettable with the perfect music and ambience as we watched the sun slowly descend from the upper deck.

Best boating experience in Cinque Terre that you can find

jiang77382, Oct 2025
It was really great. The warmth, sense of humor and attention to detail of Loris and the girl (sorry, forgot her name!!) was unparalleled. It is difficult to find a better crew for this boat. The grilled seafood dinner was so fresh and tasty, the cocktails and wine accompanied with the food, everything was so perfect. Thanks you!

Best sunset / dinner private cruise!

We were on our honeymoon and there was only one other couple onboard. It was a really great boat, dined on the first floor, and enjoyed the sunset on the top floor. The 2 guides were friendly and informative, and great chefs! We started w/ various snacks, then for dinner had bruschetta, fresh grilled prawns and swordfish, and tiramisu for dessert. It was great being able to see the villages from the water and a beautiful sunset.

Sunset Bliss

Amy_J, Sep 2025
Very personal, very informative, great crew. The waters were choppy and they gave us the option of touring a small village after dinner before sunset or continue the cruise to Cinque Terre...we chose to cruise on. The food and experience was wonderful!

Costal views, good food and good fun

Mike_W, Sep 2025
Stunning costal views of the Cinque Terre villages. The crew was so much fun, laughing with us and answering questions about the area. Dinner was prepared on board and was absolutely delicious. Grilled bruschetta, fresh grilled seafood, homemade tiramisu, etc. We also met some really fun people on the cruise and ended up continuing the night at a local bar in Monterosso. The only drawback was the weather didn’t cooperate for seeing the sunset, but that didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Best experience of our vacation!!

HOLLY_S, Aug 2025
Absolutely amazing!! The best way to see the Cinque Terre. Views, food, drinks were all incredible. A top 10 life experience!

Wonderful cruise with delicious onboard dinner

This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip. The scenery was beautiful, the crew were delightful, and the shrimp and swordfish dinner served onboard was delicious.

Fantastic evening

The sunset cruise was AMAZING!! You see all five towns from the water. Had. a delicious dinner grilled on the boat. When the sun is setting it is an indescribably beautiful moment. The guides were helpful, fun and ensured everyone had a great time! Highly recommend!

Choose this one!!

Lauren_M, Jun 2025
Wow!! I spent hours researching all the different sunset boat tours along Cinque Terre (I’m that person) and I chose this one based on the inclusions and reviews even though it cost a bit more than some of the others. So glad I chose this one!!! Friendly crew and captain, amazing drink choices (all the different types of spritzes, proper mojitos with muddled fresh lime and mint, wine, beer, soft drink), great food (focaccia with different toppings, bruschetta, prawns and swordfish grilled on the bbq, and tiramisu dessert). Only 11 people and a very large double story boat which was incredible, everyone spread out and we all had our own sections. The towns and cliffs were just gorgeous from the water. The crew frequently stopped to explain some facts about the little towns as we passed them. I am prone to sea sickness but I took a Travacalm tablet and felt totally fine the whole trip!! It’s quite a smooth ride but if you are not sure, I’d recommend taking something because we do stop at a standstill for a while to eat, and as other seasickness sufferers will know, it’s worse when the boat has stopped still and rocks a bit. We were allowed to get off the boat and swim/snorkel for about 20 minutes which was lovely! Saw some pretty fish. Plenty of comfortable seating, shade on the bottom deck or full sun up the top. Proper toilet on board. Thanks Captain for the TWO sunsets, and for somehow controlling the sun to finish setting just as the music finished, magic!! A must do when visiting Cinque Terre for a unique view and very relaxing evening. Plenty of trains still running after as well.

Perfection!!

Faith_G, Jun 2025
it was the most amazing sunset cruise. The views, the staff, the food couldn’t have been better. It tasted like we were eating at a five star restaurant. The host provided such amazing fun facts but also allowed space for the guest to enjoy the beautiful sunset. highly highly highly recommend. Also amazing and free flowing beverages of all kind!!!

Sunset Cruise in Cinque Terre

David_Y, Oct 2024
We had the most incredible experience on a sunset cruise in Cinque Terre! Despite the weather not being on our side, the amazing crew went above and beyond to make sure our cruise still happened. Their dedication and service were top-notch, handling everything seamlessly, including our luggage. The views were absolutely breathtaking as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the stunning coastline. To top it all off, we were treated to a delicious selection of seafood, including prawns, swordfish, and sardines, perfectly prepared for our journey. Thank you to the crew for making this unforgettable evening possible!

The best thing we did

Kyle_S, Sep 2024
The fresh cooked meal and staff that was knowledgeable about local history. Swimming, sightseeing and local wines on board. Absolutely fantastic.

Great experience all around

Jeffrey_U, Sep 2024
The crew was amazing, even though the weather conditions weren't ideal, they made a great tour of it and we had a really fun time. Our train was running late and the crew waited for us after I called to let them know. The tour itself was enjoyable, the food, drinks and service were great, and they really did a great job making it a special time for all of us.

Amazing sunset cruise

Dawn_D, Sep 2024
Amazing experience to end our trip in Cinque Terre! Captain and crew were very informative and only 3 of us and really a private tour. Food was delicious and drinks flowed. Cannot describe in words our sunset views.

Very fun experience!

Caitlin_M, Sep 2024
Great experience on the boat! We enjoyed stopping in Vernazza for a swim and dinner to follow. The food was excellent and good variety for drink selection

Wonderful trip!

Nicole_S, Sep 2024
Fantastic trip and would highly recommend! Beautiful scenery, lovely swimming spot, and the drinks flowed freely. For dinner the captain grilled some shrimp and swordfish! Definitely a highlight of our trip!

Beautiful night!

Abigail_G, Aug 2024
Amazing!! Great captain and crew helped make even a night that started out with rain into an awesome night with an incredible sunset. Food was grilled fresh and was delicious!

Sea of love !!!

Espedito_T, Aug 2024
The cruise itself was relaxing, the highlight was jumping off the boat and having a swim in the beauty of the cobalt blue sea. That would have been enough, but then the fabulous crew made and seaside dinner with appetizers as the proseco, wine and beverages were flowing. I HIGHLY recommend this cruise.

Worth every penny.

Cara_P, Aug 2024
This is the BEST way to see the stunning Cinqueterre towns. Plus no crowds!!. The boat got us very close to each town and some neat rock formations, too. Beautiful sunset cruise with a cheerful crew, left on time and was very family friendly. The food and drinks were plentiful and delicious. The crew gave us two opportunities to swim and dive off the boat - we all loved it. The water temp was perfect (August), the sea very deep blue, water clear. Pool noodles and snorkel masks provided. Bring your towel- that’s all you need.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michelle_C, Aug 2024
Such a fun experience! It was easy to find the boat, the crew was so kind, the food and drinks were great, and the views were amazing.

Beautiful sunset tour

Jenny_D, Aug 2024
My sisters and I enjoyed our boat cruise so much we booked a second! The staff were very hospitable. We had a fantastic evening for seeing all 5 villages from sea and a breathtaking sunset. We did both a boat tour and train tour of Cinque Terre and would highly recommend boat over train.

Beautiful sunset cruise

KellyO, Aug 2024
The views were wonderful, the food delicious, the swim refreshing and the local history facts interesting. This was a great way to spend the evening and I highly recommend it. I did it with a friend (ie no romance for us when viewing the sunset!) and we had lots of fun.

This was the most...

Alexa_A, Aug 2024
This was the most incredible experience! The food was amazing and the staff was great. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to do a boat cruise in Cinque Terre

This is a ten star review!

costi_m, Aug 2024
I never had a good dinner on a boat and would never expect one. But our hosts prepared a Michelin star worthy meal on a boat with simple, super fresh and clean ingredients. Seafood appetizer & dinner, focaccia and pesto bites + prosecco overflowing! The views were spectacular and the experience unlike any other! Worth the price and much more!

Beautiful sunset tour of Cinque Terre!

Haley_D, Jul 2024
This was such a fun excursion. Seeing all of the Cinque Terre villages at sunset was amazing. The captains made us fresh seafood dinner on the boat and it was a wonderful time. The boat is a fishing boat so it is quite rocky. I would beware if you get seasick and plan ahead. But other than that it was fantastic!
