We used ginger Gravol (basically ginger pills) prior to getting onto the boat for sea sickness and it worked well for us! The captain, Jerry, was extremely kind and helpful! He was good at pointing out all areas of interest with a bit of history. He was also very good at checking-in with everyone to make sure we were not feeling too sea-sick and offered a solution! Overall the trip was a blast with lots of swimming! My (new) wife and I were on our honeymoon and had mentioned several times that this would have been fun with a big group of friends/family! Highly recommend!!
Wonderful time. Great boat and food. Fun swimming locations. Plan time to get to the pick up location from a cruise ship. Jerry is a great host!
I had been to Cinque Terre before, but wanted to show my friends the area. We had a wonderful day on the sea, seeing the beautiful towns of Cinque Terre. Our captain was fun and informative and the others on board became great friends. Our stop in Monterosso was fantastic, as were the stops for swimming.
Perfect day! Gerry was great and the day was so much fun for our family. It was so hot and this was a beautiful and fun and much cooler way to see Cinque Terre and more! It was wonderful. I would book again if we ever come back to the area. Long day, lots of swimming, perfection.
Amazing time. Best way to see cinque Terre. Beautiful sights. Food and drink. All around the best.
Very relaxed and beautiful way to see Cinque Terre, along with some refreshing swim breaks. The boat holds a maximum of 12 people and provides some shade. Gerry served us a variety of drinks and tasty focaccia!
Gerry was so amazing! Was such an amazing tour. Beautiful day. Gerry is so fun and made the trip so incredibly memorable!! Highly recommend.
What a great day! Captain Jerry ensured we had everything we needed and were always happy. Cold drinks were plentiful (prosecco, beer, water, soda) and we had tons of focaccia. He made sure we were happy with the music, had snorkel equipment, noodles for floating, and a great attitude. The cities were beautiful, but the water was the absolute best - clear and a deep blue I’ve never seen before! Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful experience! Very friendly and attentive captain. Adjust the excursion as needed. We had selected the audio in French, which we did not receive, but we were able to understand.
This was an amazing experience! So worth it and you get to see the most amazing views. The captain, Jerry, was wonderful and made our experience so memorable.
