From the guide

Welcome aboard Giulin — the most storied charter boat in the Cinque Terre. Step aboard our traditional Ligurian wooden gozzo and discover the coast from a truly unique perspective. Lovingly maintained and sailing these waters for over 40 years, Giulin carries the soul of this coastline.

Join a small-group tour (max 12 guests) and explore colorful villages, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves with crystal-clear waters. Enjoy two swimming stops, snorkel, or relax under the sun. Towels and snorkeling equipment are provided.

On board, savor a genuine Italian aperitivo with local specialties, paired with prosecco, beer, or soft drinks, all served on handmade ceramic plates to reduce plastic use.

Our local crew shares stories and secrets of this land, offering a truly authentic experience.

This is not just a boat tour. This is Cinque Terre as the locals live it: an authentic Cinque Terre's experience.
