This tour is specially curated for travelers eager to experience both iconic sights and secluded gems from the water.

First Stop: A Dive into History and Nature

Marvel at the Gulf of Poets, noted for its dramatic cliffs and crystalline waters. The boat will navigate to Portovenere, regarded as the 'sixth town of Cinque Terre.' Explore this historic enclave from the sea, capturing memories at unique locations like Byron Cave and the Church of San Pietro. At these locations, you’ll have opportunities for photographs and to immerse yourself in the region’s storied past.

Secluded Villages and Waterfalls

Leaving Portovenere, your journey continues past coastal villages inaccessible by land, nestled between Portovenere and Riomaggiore. These picturesque hamlets are a rare highlight, seen by only a few. Cool off with a swimming stop near a natural waterfall – a refreshing pause during the cruise.

Cruising the Cinque Terre National Park

As you glide further, enter the celebrated Cinque Terre National Park, renowned for its colourful villages perched on steep cliffs. Sail past the five iconic towns: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare. Near Corniglia, your captain will guide the boat to a sheltered cove where you can swim or even dive from the cliffs for an adrenaline-filled moment.

Exploring Monterosso

The boat docks in Monterosso al Mare, the largest of the Cinque Terre villages. Here, spend around 40 minutes ashore. You can indulge in delicious Italian ice cream, browse through local shops or simply enjoy a stroll along the seafront, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of this coastal gem.
