Mediterranean · CINQUE TERRE BOAT TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 5 cinque terre boat tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Spend eight hours aboard the Lord Byron ferry from La Spezia, cruising the Gulf of the Poets and Cinque Terre coast. Depending on the day, visit Riomaggiore or Portovenere, then Monterosso and Vernazza. A multilingual guide explains the sights, while free time lets you eat, shop, walk, or swim.
“The boat was amazing. Your guide was fabulous and very kind and interesting”
Set out from Monterosso with an English-speaking host and professional skipper for a 2-hour-45-minute cruise past all five Cinque Terre villages. You’ll stop for a swim, enjoy Ligurian stuffed focaccia and drinks, and see the coast from a small boat limited to 12 people. Bring a towel, swimsuit, and waterproof phone case.
“I was traveling solo and put on a small boat with 11 other people from the same family. Not acceptable. It was not fun. They took over the boat and I ft so out of place. Shame on Viator for allowing thus to happen. .”
Travel from Milan to Cinque Terre with an English or Spanish-speaking guide, then see the coast by boat and train. You get free time in Manarola and Monterosso, the largest village, before returning by coach. Guides such as Monica, Angelo, Rosella, and Tatiana have been praised for keeping large groups on track, though the day leaves limited time for each stop.
“Enjoyable day! The boat trip was amazing. Great day out!!”
Cruise from La Spezia past Portovenere, San Pietro church, hidden coves, and all five Cinque Terre villages. Your English, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide explains the coast, with time in Monterosso for food and a swim when sea conditions allow. Small boats carry up to 12 people, and private trips are available.
“We had a lot of fun on this tour. Frederico was an excellent guide, he provided a good amount history as we made our way through Cinque Terre, the playlist was also a major vibe honestly. We took a jump into the water at the perfect time and had a lovely time exploring Monterroso. Highly recommend choosing this boat tour!”
Spend 7.5 to 8 hours aboard a typical Ligurian boat with Captain Gerry, sailing from La Spezia past Portovenere, Byron’s Cave, red sea cliffs, and all five Cinque Terre villages. Swim and snorkel in clear coves, enjoy focaccia and drinks, and choose how much time to spend in Monterosso.
“This trip is really good. Good cost quality. Gerry is really attentive with all people, everyone was having fun and enjoying the music. The lunch with the focaccia and drink(prosecco, water, cola) was abundant. The boat was full but all of us had more then space to be relaxed, the size of the boat and the max quantity of people is in the perfect measurement. Absolutely a trip to do. You see the Cinque Terre, Gerry explains all the story, and you have a relaxed day on the water.”
A coast, a kind of hull, or a day you already have in mind.
