This was our 2nd time to enjoy this special small group Cinque Terre sunset boat tour by Maravela. This is a special tour with only one part that they lacked attention to detail at. I booked this tour for 4 of us and I’m the only one that is Senza gluten and notified the tour company of this at the time of my booking but there was no attempt by Loris and the Capt. to accommodate for my food allergy as I watched on while everyone else ate Foccaci & bruschetta selections. Just wanted to bring this to their attention since Italy is ahead of most countries in this area in providing Gluten Free foods and it would not have taken much extra to provide me with a few gluten free bread choices. Thank you! Stephanie Littleton

The sunset cruise was an amazing experience for our family of 5. The captain and his first mate took great care of us every step of the adventure. Swimming in the cave and dinner were highlights of the trip for the kids. The double sunset and seeing all 5 cinque terre towns were wonderful as well.

This was, by far, the best part of our visit to Italy. While the towns are amazing to be in, to see them from the water, eat a fresh cooked meal on the boat, swim with the fish and to catch two sunsets, PERFECTO! Guides were fantastic and pointed out historic locations. I recommend doing this and can’t wait to come back and do it again!

This was a highlight of our visit to Cirque Terre! Wow! The boat was spacious and our captains were amazing, showing us all 5 villages by water, including many surprises along the way. They served us lovely drinks & cooked us a 4 course meal right on the boat in front of us that was delicious local cuisine, seafood & dessert. The sunset was beautiful & at the end, the captains brought in their nets to show us local fish they caught during our ride. ( to deliver to local restaurants) HIGHLY recommend!

Super friendly crew, great cruise and you see all the towns and a beautiful sunset, drinks and food are included and are terrific. No better way to end your day. Wonderful!

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.

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.

Great guys to have on the boat. Very informative. Drinks were amazing and food was delicious. Sunset views were simply breathtaking. Highly recommended and would do it again in a heartbeat.

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!

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.

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!
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.

Absolutely amazing!! The best way to see the Cinque Terre. Views, food, drinks were all incredible. A top 10 life experience!
Barry_R, Jul 2025
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.
Scott_E, Jul 2025
The best choice we made in Cinque Terre. The crew was great and made this a very memorable evening. The food the grilled was delicious and snorkeling while they cooked was a blast. Highly recommend this excursion
Alexandria_M, Jul 2025
Fun experience with dinner and incredible views! We got to see all 5 villages, swam and float in the sea, and ate a fresh dinner! It was my husband and 4 kids
Kathy_J, Jul 2025
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!

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.

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!!!

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!
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.
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.
Mary_R, Sep 2024
Wonderful crew, service and food. Felt as though we were in their home...great hosts. Friendly and informative they obviously love what they do!
Thank you!!!

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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
