What To Expect
Live "La Dolce Vita" on a Full-Day cruise along the Ligurian Riviera.. From the charming village of Portovenere to the iconic Cinque Terre, surround yourself with breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, authentic local flavors and good vibes. Embark on your day in the magical Gulf of Poets, where history and nature meet in timeless harmony. Glide past the pastel-colored buildings of Portovenere, admiring its medieval beauty from the sea-perspective for a picture-perfect moment. From there, set course to the legendary Cinque Terre.

Back on board, lean back, sip a cool drink and enjoy Italian music in the background, while cruising away from the shore.

5.00This was the best boat trip I’ve ever taken, and my friends agreed, mostly because of the Captain Diego and mate Jacopo, who are perfect for their jobs mixing humor with genuine care for our safety. Diego and Jacopo were very knowledgeable about the area and its history relating all to us with enthusiasm and passion for this area. Our group of 4 mature women from the US shared this trip with 6 young people from France and the young energy was contagious and fed by Jacopo and Diego. who were acutely attuned to our needs. The lunch served was presented beautifully, it was delicious, fresh and healthy. Beer and wine was abundant. All I can say is this was a fun day in the sun and sea.
Best day ever!!!

5.00This was a perfect day! From the communication ahead of time to the final docking, this was a top notch experience! Diego and the team were welcoming , kind, and shared a lot of great information on the area. We were the only English speakers and they worked extra hard to ensure we understood the info they were sharing. The lunch was delicious, the snorkeling was so much fun and the wine was very good! It was clear that they cared about the region, the guests and our experience. I would totally recommend this operator and tour to anyone I know coming to Italy! Thanks again!!
Unforgettable

5.00This private boating excursion was the perfect finish of a long day of walking the Cinque Terre trails! Diego and Marco shared some beautiful history of the region and were overall just delightful! The waters were a bit choppy but Diego guided us through to the quiet Gulf of Poets for an enjoyable swim and laid out a delicious charcuterie board and Italian wine! (Message: Don’t cancel if the waters seems choppy … they make it work!) A perfect afternoon! Our group highly recommends these hosts under any water conditions! Gratzie to Sylvia for coordinating and to Diego & Marco for contributing to a memorable trip! CKKG&J from California

5.00This is a must do event for your trip! The crew was so kind and were so fun to give us a great history background of the area. The food was amazing and who doesn’t love a private tour from a local?! We were treated like queens and enjoyed our evening so much.

5.00We were a group of 4 couples that had the most amazing private boat tour. They provided the perfect balance of a guided tour with information about the gorgeous surroundings, and a relaxed day on the water with friends. The lunch on the boat with fresh oysters, local meats and cheeses, fruits, and dessert was spectacular. This trip was one of the highlights of our Italian vacation!!
Top boat, professionalism, kindness, wonderful places, delicacies!

5.00I booked a private tour with Diego and Silvia to celebrate my birthday with the family: all day in the Gulf of Poets with the Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto Islands. Wonderful experience, wonderful coves where we dived and had fun with crazy water. Diego, the commander, Professional, Expert, very nice, Silvia very kind and attentive; he immediately established a great relationship to spend the day together! Great lunch, with Ligurian specialties and unforgettable mussels with stuffed muscles prepared by the commander's mother. Wine, soft drinks and water available, we also prepared all the towels for the day! The "Juliet", really top boat! Masks, goggles and tubes available to guests. Kindness, courtesy, a wonderful birthday! See you next year!
HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP!!!

5.00We originally booked a private afternoon tour for Cinque Terre, however due to weather we were offered an alternative itinerary on another day aboard Guilietta. Silvia was in constant communication with us about the schedule and overly accommodating given the weather. The weather situation really was a blessing in disguise - we had the absolute best time and the Gulf of Poets tour was the highlight of our trip. Diego and Nimue were wonderful and made our trip so memorable, giving us information and history about the area as we were underway. Stopping for snacks and a swim rounded out a perfect day. The boat was amazing, very clean and very comfortable. I can’t recommend a tour with Silvia and Diego enough, it was amazing!
