Cinque Terre daytime boat tour with a traditional ligurian gozzo
Description
Welcome aboard Giulin — the most storied charter boat in the Cinque Terre. Step aboard our traditional Ligurian wooden gozzo and discover the coast from a truly unique perspective. Lovingly maintained and sailing these waters for over 40 years, Giulin carries the soul of this coastline. Join a small-group tour (max 12 guests) and explore colorful villages, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves with crystal-clear waters. Enjoy two swimming stops, snorkel, or relax under the sun. Towels and snorkeling equipment are provided. On board, savor a genuine Italian aperitivo with local specialties, paired with prosecco, beer, or soft drinks, all served on handmade ceramic plates to reduce plastic use. Our local crew shares stories and secrets of this land, offering a truly authentic experience. This is not just a boat tour. This is Cinque Terre as the locals live it: an authentic Cinque Terre's experience.

We had such a great day on the water with Alessandro and Sam. Not only did we love seeing these beautiful villages from the water, it was fascinating to hear the history of the area as well as what day to day life is like from someone who grew up here. Lunch was delicious, our two swim stops in the warm, clear water were fun and refreshing, and the prosecco was flowing. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, and we will do it again one day when we return to Cinque Terre!

Had a great time - perfect way to spend our evening after hiking the Cinque Terre trails. Relaxing, very scenic ride guided by our captain - Alessandro, and our guide - Sam. Great food and plenty of Prosecco and other beverages. They stop at one point to allow swimming or snorkeling which was also amazing. And the sunset itself was great. Highly recommended!

What a perfect day! The crew and boat were the perfect (and easier) way to see the beauty of Cinque Terre. The swim spots were so refreshing, easy floating while fish swim below in the clearest blue water. Guide was a local and gave lots of great insights to life in the region. Highly recommend!!!
