Day/Sunset tour in Cinque Terre on board a typical Ligurian gozzo boat
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Come and discover the colorful villages of the Cinque Terre on this journey through sea, culture and traditions! Whether you want to spend a quiet day on the boat away from the stress of the mainland, or you want to admire the beauty of these villages in the magical light of the sunset, you just have to board, relax, and enjoy that sense of freedom that only the sea can give!
And what better way to explore the Ligurian Riviera than on board my “Blue Taurus”, a traditional Ligurian gozzo, symbol of the seafaring in these waters and of the “Italian Dolcevita”; with its refined and elegant line it is the perfect boat to explore the ravines and coves of this wild coast with lush and lush nature, where among natural waterfalls and hidden caves you can dive into its crystal clear waters full of fish. We will leave DA Monterosso for these picturesque villages; I will tell you about local customs and traditions, and all accompanied DA music and good wine.

5.00The boat tour was incredible. You get great views on the towns from the boat and Ivan was so kind and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this experience to any one. We stopped to snorkel and I got to see many fish. This small boat tour felt more personable. 10000/10 thank you Ivan!!

5.00Such an amazing private experience touring all five towns by boat! No better way to see them than on an authentic Italian boat. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, a private swim in the turquoise waters, and seeing the beautiful towns. Our guide owns his own boat and operates privately! He was fabulous! Well worth the time and money!
Perfecto!!!!

5.00We did a sunset tour and it was fantastic! Ivan was so kind and taught us about the towns, played some great music, brought us wine and snacks and took plenty of photos of our group in front of the sunset. The boat itself was also adorable. Highly recommend!
Ivane was the best...

5.00IVANE WAS THE BEST HOST/CAPTAIN! So kind, sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive. The boat was amazing and very comfortable. Overall, we had great weather, and even though it was a little choppy on the water, he handled it very well. The tour takes about 3 hours total and is completely worth it! Definitely recommend going through Ivane as opposed to any big tour company as his experience is much more personable and comfortable. If we ever come back, we would definitely book with him again!
Wonderful Sunset tour

5.00Simone and Taurus boat tours were the best. We had string currents in Cinque Terre so they offered to move it out of La Spazia and view Porte Verne at sunset which was beautiful and also a treat to see something else since we had been staying in Cinque Terre. Simone was a true professional handling the boat even in some stronger currents the further we headed from the gulf area. I truly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
Exceptional Host and Captain — One of Our Trip Highlights

5.00Ivan was an exceptional host from start to finish — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. He reached out to us proactively and kindly suggested rescheduling our tour by one day to avoid poor weather. That thoughtful adjustment meant we enjoyed the experience in the best possible conditions, which we greatly appreciated. The captain was equally outstanding. He was highly knowledgeable about the area, sharing interesting insights along the way, and his friendly personality made the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. We always felt safe and well taken care of, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the experience. This tour exceeded our expectations — it was not only well organized and professional but also felt personal and memorable. It became one of the highlights of our trip, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and authentic experience.
