About the experience

Cruising along the rugged coastline of the Cinque Terre aboard a private boat is one of the most beautiful ways to discover this UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the charming port of Lerici, your captain will guide you on an unforgettable cruise that will take you through the wonders of the Gulf of Poets to the famous colorful villages perched on the cliffs. This comprehensive tour will allow you to embrace all the beauty of Liguria, between wild coves, translucent waters, and legendary villages.

The boat will first sail along the coast towards La Spezia, then set sail for the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto, three natural gems that resemble marine sanctuaries. You will then continue to Portovenere, an iconic, postcard-perfect village. The excursion then continues to the five iconic villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. Depending on your preferences, shore stops are available in Vernazza and Monterosso, giving you time to stroll, swim, or simply enjoy a typical lunch.

The experience is enhanced by the provision of snorkeling equipment to explore the crystal-clear seabed, as well as an onboard shower for added comfort after your swim. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or family, this day at sea will be an enchanting interlude on one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines.

    We absolutely loved our time on this boat! Simone was so helpful and responsive during the whole booking process and with all of the many questions I had after that. Rain was expected on our original booking date and Simone helped scramble around to rebook us for the day prior at the last minute. He ended up not available to captain for us on the new date but he sent an amazing team in his place. Our skipper Angelo and our host Daisy were so welcoming and kind. Daisy truly went above and beyond with catering to our every need that day and she even kept in touch after for recommendations and additional tips for the remainder of our time in the area. 10/10 experience and we’d gladly book again if we’re ever back in Portovenere!!

    My family recently had the pleasure of renting a private boat for a day with Simone as our host, and it was an outstanding experience! From the very beginning, communication was seamless. Simone provided clear and timely information both before our departure and during our time on board, ensuring we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. Simone's assistant, Daisy, was an absolute delight. Her enthusiasm and helpfulness added to the overall enjoyment of our trip. Together, they made our day on the water truly memorable. I’d highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a fantastic experience.

    Our group of two families, 4 adults, 5 teenagers, and a child, had a wonderful day with Simone. Communication was clear and easy, he made us feel at home on his boat. We arranged an itinerary that fit our interests. The children loved the experience, Simone was great at making everyone happy.

    Fantastic day out with Simone visiting the Cinque Terre! He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and went out of his way to make the day special for our family of 10 with Prosecco and drinks on board. We stopped to swim several times and had a delicious lunch recommended by him in Monterosso. It was by far a favourite part of our holiday. Highly recommend.

    We had an amazing experience touring Cinque Terre with Simone. He was very responsive and helpful with my many questions regarding the logistics of the boat. It was a breeze getting on and off the boat and we had the most amazing experience riding along the coastline. Simone was very informative and would tell us interesting fun facts and quick history lessons at each location. He stopped in Monterosso and allowed us to get off the boat and walk around the town and grab a quick bite to eat. Simone provided a plethora of beverages for everyone to drink with onboard including water, Prosecco, beer, juice, soda, etc. We had 8 people and a 1 year old baby and we had plenty of space to lay out and enjoy the ride. We went swimming and snorkeling in the Ligurian Sea as well. Nothing but great things to say about our experience with Simone and would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a day on the ocean while also getting to experience Cinque Terre and Portovenere from the sea!!

    We had the best time on Simone’s boat! We were with 11 people on a bachelorette party and this boat was the true highlight. Simone was timely and great in communication! He had drinks and food for us which was wonderful! We had an amazing tour of Cinque Terre and Simone let us stop and swim in the most beautiful spots. Simone was so kind and really provided us the most wonderful day! I would book this again for sure. Thank you so much for everything!

    Simone was an excellent skipper, we have never been to Cinque Terre before and he did a great job at giving us a fun tour and it was clear he wanted us to have the best time. Would come back every time if I could! Snorkeling could not have been more fun and the views were incredible!
