About this tour
A seven-hour private boat journey along one of Italy's most dramatic coastlines, departing from La Spezia with flexible routing to suit sea conditions. You'll cruise past the five villages of Cinque Terre, stopping to explore villages at your own pace whilst sampling local delicacies: focaccia, Monterosso anchovies, vegetable cakes, and Prosecco. Your skipper knows these waters intimately and tailors the experience to your interests, with easy boarding from a small sheltered port.

What to expect
You'll board from a small port with straightforward access and spend the morning cruising along dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. The skipper adjusts your route based on weather and sea state—if conditions don't permit reaching Cinque Terre itself, they'll navigate an equally rewarding alternative along the coast. At each stop, you're free to wander independently: browse village shops, grab a coffee, or simply sit by the water. Snacks and wine appear throughout the day. Expect a relaxed, responsive approach rather than a rigid schedule.
Good to know
Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or serious cardiovascular concerns. Infants need to sit with an adult. Prams are welcome but check tight village streets beforehand. Wear sunscreen and bring a light layer—sea breezes cool quickly. The boat departs regardless of sea state, though routing may change.
