Cinque Terre Sunset Tour by Private Boat with Pesto and Typical Wine
Description
Discover the beauty of the Cinque Terre with a private boat during the magical afternoon hours, when the sun sets and the light invades the small villages, the cliffs, the coves are caressed by the soft magical light of the sunset. This traditional Ligurian gozzo offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the Cinque Terre in style. The large sundeck is perfect for relaxing while admiring breathtaking views and exploring the secrets of this coast. The tour will pass in front of all five villages (the Cinque Terre), with time to stop and take magnificent photos, a unique opportunity to swim in our turquoise sea and to discover and explore our famous small inaccessible coves. To finish on board of our boat we will offer a tasting of our famous “Cinque Terre Pesto” and our Focaccia, Acqua Beer and local wine available on board included. The departure times are indicative and must be agreed upon after booking.

Itinerary
The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

We originally booked the Cinque Terre Sunset Tour but due to rough seas, the company offered us a Gulf of La Spezia Sunset Tour. Honestly, the tour was amazing and worked out even better as we got to see and visit cute towns we did not consider. Tom was our guide and he was fantastic! We learned so much about the region and got off the boat to explore a village. The pesto and wine were also a nice add! Definitely recommend this tour.
Was a very nice trip. Simone shared a lot of information. Boat was lovely. Best Pesto ever!! Would recommend this trip!
We had a lovely boat ride one evening. We got to see all 5 of the Cinque Terre cities from the sea. What a beautiful place in our world. And the Focaccia made by the captain's mom was so good. Thank you to the captain for a lovely trip in the Sea.
Unique and wonderful experience. Highlight of our trip to Italy. You can swim off the boat and get great photo ops.
The experience was fantastic, couldn’t think of anything that could have made it better. The crew was fantastic, the views were beautiful, and the cuisine was tasty. Would love to do this again. One of the best things I’ve ever done.
This is a must do trio! The best way to see the beauty of Cinque Terre. From our Captain Simone, the views, wine and Mama's pesto, this trip made our visit to Cinque Terre unforgettable!
Amazing experience. Simone was a great tour guide/host and made sure we were all taken care of. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time to view all villages, take pictures, and swim! Simone was very knowledgeable and hospitable and it felt more like a get together than a tour which was awesome. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed this sunset boat tour with Captain Simone. Seeing the 5 lands from the sea and learning some history of the area from the captain was really a fresh new perspective that was well worth the cost of the tour. The captain is very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We also enjoyed the fresh homemade local pesto and focaccia as well as the local wine that was prepared for us. We stopped for swimming and to jump off some rocks, and on the way back enjoyed the beautiful setting sun. The captain was even very amenable to changing the schedule a bit. If you are looking for a private boat tour in cinque terre, this is the one to do!
We had a great time on our sunset boat tour. We had already explored the different villages on foot, but seeing them by sea was even more beautiful. Our captain was so knowledgeable and fun, and the focaccia bread and pesto (made by his mother) was amazing. This was definitely a highlight of our stay in Cinque Terre.
