From the guide

Experience the Cinque Terre like a real pampering on the sea, on a 9.20m boat with cabin and toilet.
Cinun captain and a stewardess.
Hop on board, you will enjoy a cool glass of sangria and a tray of fresh fruit, or fruit salad. From there the navigation begins along one of the most iconic stretches of Italy: spectacular cliffs, terraced vineyards and the villages of Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, admired from a privileged perspective from the sea.
During navigation there are bathing and snorkeling stops. In one of the stops, a platter of Ligurian focaccia with pesto and stracchino is served.
The atmosphere is convivial and relaxed: soft music, drinks always available and views that change with every minute.
The finish is the sweetest: sweet Ligurian and limoncino served on board, while returning to Monterosso.
An experience made of relaxation, authentic flavors, crystal clear sea and UNESCO views, designed for those who want to experience the Cinque Terre in the most pleasant and memorable way possible.

Itinerary

Monterosso al Mare Stop 1
Leaving the port, the view opens on Monterosso al Mare, the largest and liveliest of the Cinque Terre villages. From the sea reveals its wide golden beach, dotted with colorful umbrellas that create a lively mosaic on the coast. Among the waves emerges the majestic Statue of the Giant, silent guardian of the bay, which adds an epic touch to the panorama. Then, let yourself be invited to climb among alleys and staircases that spiral in the heart of the country, where scents, colors and authentic views tell the whole Ligurian soul.
30 min
Vernazza Stop 2
Leaving Corniglia behind, the navigation leads to Vernazza, the most iconic jewel of the Cinque Terre, where every glimpse seems born to be photographed. From the sea, the village looks like a painting : brightly colored houses climb the cliff, reflected in the waters of the bay with a timeless harmony. The bell tower stands elegantly, watching over the small natural harbor, while boats and fishing nets tell a maritime tradition still alive. Vernazza is not just about looking : we live, breathe, remember. It is that place that, once seen, remains impressed in the eyes and heart, distinguishing itself from all the others for character, beauty and authenticity.
30 min
Corniglia Stop 3
Continuing along the coast, Corniglia appears, the most intimate and reserved of the Cinque Terre. A village suspended between sky and sea, perched majestically on the cliff, far from the chaos and protected by terraced vineyards that tell centuries of work and tradition. From the sea it stands out for its unique, almost secret location, where the houses seem to arise directly from the rock. Corniglia captivates with its discreet elegance: less crowded, more authentic, it is the ideal place for those seeking breathtaking views, silence and the most genuine soul of the Cinque Terre.
30 min
Manarola Stop 4
The journey continues to Manarola, one of the most scenic and iconic villages of the Cinque Terre. Perched on rugged cliffs overlooking the sea, Manarola seems suspended in time, surrounded by lush terraced vineyards that draw its landscape with perfect geometries. From the sea reveals its famous strip of land, a breathtaking viewpoint from which the most famous Instagram photographs of the coast are born. The colorful houses are reflected in the crystal clear water creating a spectacular contrast between rock, sea and sky. Manarola is not just a stop: it is an icon, a pure emotion, one of those places that make the tour truly unforgettable.
30 min
Riomaggiore Stop 5
Finally, we arrive in Riomaggiore, the village that embodies the most authentic essence of the Cinque Terre. A picturesque coastal village where colorful houses fit together and cascade down to the sea, creating picture-postcard views perfect at every glance. From the sea, Riomaggiore offers one of the most iconic views of the Ligurian coast: spectacular cliffs, deep waters and a small port that tells stories of fishermen and centuries-old traditions. Every curve of the coast offers a different scenery, every detail is photogenic, every moment is memorable. Riomaggiore is not only the conclusion of the tour, but its grand finale: intense, suggestive and unforgettable.
