Cinque Terre Day/Sunset Boat Tour Swim Snacks and Prosecco

Monterosso al Mare Monterosso is the largest of the Cinque Terre villages, and from the sea it greets you with its long sandy beach — the only one of its kind along this rugged coastline. You can clearly see the medieval old town and the newer Fegina district, separated by a dramatic rocky headland topped by a Capuchin monastery. Towering cliffs, hidden sea caves, and the famous Giant statue — a massive concrete figure emerging directly from the rock — make sailing past Monterosso an unforgettable sight.

Vernazza From the sea, Vernazza reveals its most authentic and breathtaking face. Colorful houses in shades of ochre, pink, yellow, and terracotta climb the cliffs to form a natural amphitheatre overlooking the water. The medieval Doria Castle stands guard from above, while the small fishing harbor opens up before you like a living painting. The bell tower and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia rise against a backdrop of terraced hillside vineyards — widely considered the most beautiful village of the Cinque Terre, and from the sea it's easy to see why.

Corniglia is the most mysterious of the five villages when seen from the water — and for good reason: it is the only one with no direct access to the sea. It sits perched on a rocky headland nearly 100 meters above the water, clinging to the cliff like an eagle's nest. From the boat you can admire it in its entirety — a compact silhouette of tall, narrow houses surrounded by steep terraced vineyards that tumble down toward the shoreline. A village you can gaze at, but never quite reach from the sea.

Manarola Manarola is perhaps the most photographed village in the Cinque Terre, and from the sea you instantly understand why. Its colorful tower houses stack on top of one another along a deep rocky gorge that runs straight down to the water's edge. Shades of red, orange, yellow, and blue reflect on the surface of the sea, creating a scene of extraordinary beauty. The natural rock platform at the base of the village is a popular swimming spot — and passing it by boat, with the whole village rising above you, is one of the highlights of the entire tour.

Riomaggiore Riomaggiore is the southernmost village of the Cinque Terre, and from the sea it makes an immediate impression. Tall, narrow houses in deep reds and warm yellows rise sharply from the waterfront, stacked so tightly together they seem to lean on one another for support. The small harbor, with its colorful fishing boats hauled up on the slipway, sits at the foot of the village like a postcard come to life. Dramatic black cliffs flank the entrance to the harbor, carved by centuries of wind and waves — a powerful and memorable final chapter to the coastal tour.

️ Guvano Beach – Swimming Stop & Snacks Tucked between Corniglia and Vernazza, Guvano is one of the last truly wild beaches on the Ligurian coast. Completely inaccessible by road, it can only be reached by sea — making it one of those rare places that still feels undiscovered. We drop anchor here for a well-deserved swimming stop in crystal-clear waters surrounded by nothing but cliffs, pebbles, and silence. While you float in one of the most secluded bays of the Cinque Terre, we'll serve a selection of snacks and a chilled glass of Prosecco on board — because some moments deserve to be celebrated. Take your time. There's nowhere else you need to be.
