Itinerary

15 min

Once we leave, we will reach Fezzano, one of the most beautiful villages in the Gulf of La Spezia that are along the way. We will reach this characteristic village of the area to allow guests to take some pictures and see a less famous village, but just as beautiful as those of the Cinque Terre.

30 min

We will continue sailing along the coast with the possibility to see some of the city villages from afar. We'll pass by the outer dam, which protects the inland coast. In this area we will see the characteristic farms of muscles and oysters. We will then reach Portovenere, a beautiful pearl on the sea! It 'a very beautiful village and romantic at the same time: here guests will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of its colorful houses, typical of these areas with the opportunity to take some photos.

Pass by

We will continue slowly to fully enjoy the surrounding landscape, with the possibility of taking some photos or enjoying a few minutes of relaxation in front of the wonderful church of San Pietro, which stands on the most extreme point of the village and overlooking the open sea.

15 min

Just behind the church of St. Peter, there is the famous Byron cave, so called because it was an inspiration for many poets in the history of the place including, in fact, the noble poet Lord Byron. This place is very charming and is much loved by local people.

45 min

We will soon reach one of the places I love most: Le Rosse, a light red rock face, characterized by the massive presence of iron inside it from which it owes its color. Here the crystal clear water and rocky bottom create the perfect place for a relaxing break where you can dive in for a refreshing swim or snorkel to admire the beauty of the underwater nature.

Pass by

After the stop, we will continue sailing along the coast. We will see the Ferale rock, a pyramidal rock just off the coast that emerges for 30 meters. Between this and the coast there is a shallow area where you can admire the beauty of the sea, the seabed and the surrounding landscape. We will see some of the oldest villages of this stretch of coast such as Schiara and Monesteroli, perched on the mountain overlooking the sea, very difficult to reach on foot and, for this reason, little tourist.

60 min

We will continue along the coast until we enter the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area. At this point, we will reach Monterosso, the last of the villages of the Cinque Terre, where customers will disembark for 1.5 hours. In this way you will have the opportunity to have lunch in one of the characteristic restaurants of the area, take a relaxing walk through the streets of the old town among shops and characteristic shops.

30 min

Once back on board, we will leave to reach Vernazza, one of the most beautiful and well-known resorts of the Cinque Terre. Here you can make stops to admire the beauty of the place and take some pictures.

30 min

We will continue our journey to Corniglia. This village differs from the others of the Cinque Terre because it is the only one that does not directly overlook the sea, but is located on top of a promontory about 100 meters high. It is worth getting closer to take some pictures of this equally wonderful village.

30 min

Reach Manarola, with its colorful houses overlooking the sea. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in this area, we will have the opportunity to stop for a relaxing swim and admire the beauty of this village at the same time.

30 min

We will continue towards the nearby Riomaggiore, where it will be possible to make a short stop to take some souvenir photos. We will also see from the sea the famous Via dell'Amore, a small path overlooking the sea, recently renovated, which connects Manarola to Riomaggiore.

45 min

We will continue the tour returning to the Portovenere area and take a tour of the islands. The first of these, and the largest, is Palmaria Island. The location of the island creates points very sheltered from wind and rough seas and it will be spectacular to see the rocky walls overlooking the sea that characterize the southern side of the island.

30 min

Proceed around the archipelago sailing towards the island of Tinos, triangular in shape and for several years under the control of the Navy. On the top of the island was built the military lighthouse, which over time has become the symbol of the city, always a guide for sailors.

30 min

A few meters from Tino, there is this small island that looks more like a large emerging rock. This area can only be reached by sea and is much loved by the inhabitants of the city. It will be wonderful to stop for one last relaxing stop and dive into this crystal clear water.

It was a beautiful day! The landscape was magnificent! And Andrea, the lovely skipper. Friendly and attentive to the group, he contributed to making the experience enjoyable and relaxing. I always felt at ease. I recommend this tour!

Perfect Day

We had a wonderful day with Andrea on his beautiful boat. The boat had comfortable cushions and a large cover for shade. The prosecco provided was some of the best I have ever had and the traditional snacks were delicious. We really lucked out with only one other couple with us, but I believe there would have been ample room to spread out even with a full group. We had three swim stops and about an hour to look around Montarosse before heading back to the port with ample time to get back to our ship. I did not expect to be so wowed by this excursion but seeing the Cinque Terra from the water was the right choice. It brought me right back to my childhood and boat rides on my grandpa’s boat.

Beautiful day

I stayed on Sunday with my husband and daughter. Andrea is a very friendly person and makes you feel comfortable. The day then passed in a flash. The 5 Terre seen from the sea are spectacular as is swimming in the crystal clear waters of the area. Focaccia and drinks in abundance. Well organized!

Soothing

Wonderful boat ride to rediscover the villages of Cinque Terre! Andrea was a lovely guide who was very caring for us. It was also a moment of sharing and conviviality with the other people on the boat.

Andrea - The Master of the Sea 🌊

We had a fantastic boat tour from La Spezia to the Cinque Terre – a real highlight of our holiday! Andrea was a great host: friendly, competent and with tangible passion for the region. His explanations were interesting and perfectly dosed – informative, but never too much. The route was beautifully chosen, with breathtaking views of the villages from the water. Even small stops for bathing and photographing were planned just right. You can tell: Andrea loves what he does – and that makes all the difference. Conclusion: Absolutely recommend! If you want to discover Cinque Terre from the water, Andrea is in good hands. Grazie mille! 🇮🇹✨

Unforgettable experience

Fantastic boat tour of the gulf of poets. Andrea was a great and friendly guide who communicated very well in advance of the tour when the weather meant we had to change from the scheduled tour. We really enjoyed how flexible the whole tour was we could spend more time in certain spots, make additional stops etc. I would highly recommend.
