What To Expect
Monterosso al Mare
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
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.

5.00We did a private 2 hour tour and it was fantastic. We received detailed instructions in advance on where to meet our boat and Captain Tom was right on time. He shared information about the regions with us, it was a super relaxing journey past all of the Cinque Terre's. We enjoyed homemade pesto and complimentary beverages. It's a wonderful way to see the region and the boat was comfortable and had sun and shade depending on what you wanted. It was a highlight for us.
Outstanding Tour and Views of Cinque Terre

5.00Private boat tour of the Cinque Terre coastline with time for pictures, swimming, and focaccia and pesto sampling. Plan to bring towels and sunscreen for a relaxing boat ride along the picturesque Ligurian Sea. Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable, stopping along each village to share history and facts. He led us closer to the villages one direction, then gave us a farther-away view on the return to Monterosso al Mare. We had time to swim in a cave, with flotation "noodles" available if desired. We sipped local wine and enjoyed homemade pesto on the return trip. Bottled water was available as well. I'd recommend this tour for groups of four or more; there were plenty of space available. If you have a larger group, you may want to book for earlier or later in the day to avoid the heat, as shade is limited depending on the sun's position. We had limited time in the Cinque Terre, and this tour gave us the opportunity to see all the villages in a relaxing atmosphere. I'd highly recommend this for any group looking for a beautiful view of Italy!
Excellent choice for a boat tour!

5.00Highly reccomend! Great experience - clear communication before the tour, Tom - our captain & guide - was very professional and provided us a lot of info about the Cinque Terre area and patiently answered my 10 yrs old many questions :) . The boat was impecable and the focaccia with homemade pesto was delicious! The kind of small business that brings value and contributes to the CT charm - I warmly reccomend it.
A “must-do” experience when visiting Cinque Terre!

5.00We booked this charter as a last minute replacement after another company cancelled on us the night before our trip. Talk about a blessing in disguise. Sara was our captain and we had the most wonderful experience with her!!! She was extremely knowledgeable, very energetic, and gave us an awesome overview of Cinque Terre and its history. I would highly recommend this charter for any family that’s looking for an unforgettable experience…catching some incredible views, taking a dip in the crystal clear water, sipping on some vino, and enjoying local focaccia w/pesto! 5 stars across the board!!!
Definitely worth it!

5.00We had such a great time. The captain, Simone, grew up in Riomaggiore and his love for Cinque Terre was infectious. He told us about all the towns as we passed by, and we stopped to swim and jump off the rocks. We loved the focaccia and pesto that he provided as well. Simone’s English was very good and he was fun to talk to. This was one of our favorite Conque Terre experiences.
