Overview

Guidekin summary

A private boat for your party on a traditional gozzo out of Monterosso, with a wide sundeck and a stop at Cannetto beach where a freshwater waterfall runs down to the sea. Pesto with focaccia, water, beer, local wine and snorkelling gear are on board, though that tasting is a snack rather than a meal. 4.9 from 70 reviews at €200 per person.

From the guide

This traditional Ligurian gozzo departing directly from Monterosso offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the Cinque Terre in style. 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.

Itinerary

Monterosso al Mare Stop 1
The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza Stop 2
the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
Corniglia Stop 3
: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
Manarola Stop 4
: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
Riomaggiore Stop 5
While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.
