The large sundeck is perfect for relaxing while admiring breathtaking views and exploring the secrets of this unique coast and for those who want to enjoy the sea intensely. The tour will pass in front of all the five villages (the Cinque Terre), the Cannetto beach with its fresh water waterfall, with time to stop, relax and take magnificent photos, a unique opportunity to swim in our turquoise sea and to discover and explore our famous little inaccessible coves. Finally, on board our boat we will offer a tasting of our famous "Pesto Cinque Terre" and our Focaccia. Water, local wine and beer will be available during the tour.

      Great Private Boat Tour with Simone as our guide! Highly recommend!
      Simone called us to say he was there early if we wanted to get started, which we did! His boat was easy to find at the meeting spot in Monterosso. We immediately liked him....he was so friendly, funny and informative throughout the whole trip. We could ask him any question we had & he answered it. His main concern was that we had an enjoyable time, which we did! We saw the five cities of the Cinque Terre and he stopped & let the guys swim (it was a beautiful day in November). The trip included beverages & the local focaccia bread & delicious homemade pesto from his mother! But what impressed us most was the music he played on the trip. We are from Minnesota & the first two songs he played were from Bob Dylan & Prince (who are both from Minnesota)! We were so surprised! Now that is someone who cares enough about his clients to research them! We highly recommend this trip with Simone!!!

      Lovely Cinque Terre boat tour!
      Simone was prompt when he showed up, very friendly and informative throughout the whole trip. His main concern was that we had an enjoyable time, which we did! We saw the five cities of the Cinque Terre and he stopped and let us go swimming in a cave. The trip included beverages including a great local white wine, Vermentino, which was perfect for our 75° sunny day in mid October. It also included the local focaccia bread and he brought homemade pesto from his mother, which was delicious! Highly recommend this trip!!!

      Private Boat Tour of La Spezia
      Fantastic tour with the wonderful Simone. This tour was recommended by our daughter and son-in-law, who described it as the highlight of their vacation. Simone expertly guided the Olga through the waters and provided a nice history of the region. And his mama’s pesto was out of this world!!

      Absolutely Incredible Time!
      Exceeded our expectations!!! We came to Cinque Terre for our honeymoon and this was the perfect, intimate, and romantic experience. On top of the incredible views, amazing focaccia and homemade pesto, Simone was the perfect tour guide that put this at the top of our list of experiences here in Cinque! He truly is the best and made the entire time a blast. 100% would recommend to anyone!

      Cinque Terre Boat Tour
      I highly recommend this spectacular boat tour of Cinque Terre! It was very easy to find the meeting spot in Monterosso. Simone was an informative and friendly local tour guide and excellent sailor. Our favorite part was getting to stop and take a swim in the beautiful Ligurian sea. Definitely a highlight of our trip!

      Amazing sunset boat tour with friendly guide Simone. We enjoyed great information about the villages, as well as the most delicious wine and homemade pesto. We also stopped half way for a swim in the beautiful sea at sunset. Was a highlight of our trip. Simone was an incredible host.

      Lovely boat ride
      The boat trip was comfy, full of interesting bays and sights. Snacks and drink was minimal and nice. We really enjoyed all the stories of our seasoned lady captain!

      The best thing we did in Cinque Terre!
      It was a terrific experience . Saw all the towns by sea, swam in a beautiful cove/cave and learned about the area. Don’t miss!

      Great Private Boat Tour with Simone
      We have a great time on the boat with Simone. We learned a lot of the 5 villages and enjoyed being able to stop and swim in a few different locations. The wine, focaccia, and pesto we had on board were delicious. We definitely recommend booking this tour.

      Pessima experiencia
      O passeio nĂŁo aconteceu porque o marinheiro passou mal e tivemos que voltar. Quero o meu dinheiro de volta. Sai do Brasil para conhecer as vilas e nĂŁo aconteceu. NĂŁo tive a chance de ter outro passeio no lugar. The trip didn't happen because the sailor felt ill and was comfortable returning. I want my money back. I left Brazil to visit the villages and it didn't happen. I didn't have the chance to have another tour there.

      Amazing Views and Sunset!
      Overall, the sunset boat tour was very good! Amazing water views of each of the villages and sunset plus the opportunity to take a swim in the sea. The pesto tasting and local white wine were also quick good! Our tour captain was quite enthusiastic and humorous but his authentic Italian accent was quite thick which made him somewhat hard to understand, but otherwise a very pleasurable experience!

    Amazing experience - our favorite activity thus far on our first trip to Italy. Simone was a terrific guide, and had amazing insights as a local to the Cinque Terre. We were able to see all 5 villages, swim through caves, and do jumping off rocks.

    Can’t recommend Cinque Terre Sea Tours enough - the best boat tour of the Cinque Terre!

    If you are visiting Cinque Terre I would strongly recommend booking this boat tour. My girlfriend and I both agree it was the highlight of our vacation. Onboard the boat you will find a very well sized cushioned sun lounge and a nice shaded area. Simone (our captain) was very welcoming, knowledgeable and provided drinks + food. Simone took us to some amazing swimming spots, taught us a lot about the local villages, took plenty of photos for us, provided us was his Mum’s famous pesto and provided snorkelling equipment. Thank you to Simone for an amazing experience.

    This was a highlight of our 4 week family holiday. Simone was a wonderful host sharing his local knowledge of the region and even fed us fresh focaccia and his mother’s sublime homemade pesto!
    We stopped at beautiful secluded spots to jump off the boat and swim, it was just spectacular! There is nothing quite like seeing this stunning region by sea and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tour.

    Incredible! Simone was the perfect skipper - very nice boat, interesting conversation, great (homemade) snacks and as much beer/wine/bubbles as you want. He knew all of the best spots to jump in for a swim and timed it perfectly. Exceeded all expectations and great value. Only wish that we had been able to extend our time!

    Simone was the best host for an amazing tour of the beautiful Cinque Terre. He provides a great balance of relaxing, swimming, and information about each town. We have to mention the most delicious pesto we have ever tasted, homemade by Simone's mother, which went perfectly with fresh foccacia. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon. Highly recommend.

    Experience was fantastic with Simone! Weather was a bit cloudy and cooler but we still made a great boat tour with my wife and son!

    Highly recommend taking the tour to have your own boat and go at your own pace! Beautiful coastline with all the towns in Cinque Terre!

    We were originally booked for a tour of the Cinque Terre coastline but were notified the day before that sea conditions would not be good. We were offered a couple of back up options and we went with the Gulf of Poets outside of La Spezia. Simone was a great guide—extremely friendly and shared good information about the history of the area. The sea got a little choppy and he kindly adapted the tour on the fly. Highly recommend both he and the company.

    Simone was our captain. He was early, incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and generally fun to spend time with. The boat was spotless and comfortable and the drinks and focaccia were a nice addition, especially his mom’s pesto! And the local wine. I would highly recommend a trip.

    Our Captain (Sara) was fabulous and had a great soundtrack which added much to the experience (she asked first if we’d be ok with music).

    Everyone loved the gorgeous scenery, and given the intense heat of the day, it was THE best way to see Cinque Terre!

    One thing that we didn’t count on was the roughness of the water. Word of advice: definitely book this voyage but also bring Dramamine or something with you so you can appreciate the trip fully!

    Simone has wonderful hospitality and kindness and very accommodating to our requests. What a special time exploring the coastline and hearing about the villages. Our little swim stops were breathtaking. Our family cannot stop talking about how much fun we had. Bravo!
