Overview

Guidekin summary

The sunset slot on a traditional Italian boat out of Monterosso, capped at twelve passengers, with swim stops and an aperitivo of stuffed Ligurian focaccia. Drinks come with it; towels and masks do not, and it needs a party of four to sail. 4.92 from 443 reviews at €119 per person for 2h 45m.

From the guide

Experiencing a sunset in Cinque Terre is like witnessing a live painting of shifting colors right before your eyes. This splendid moment offers a tranquil and serene ambiance that envelops Cinque Terre. The manner in which the sunlight illuminates the villages often renders them akin to a picturesque postcard scene. Enjoy expansive views of the Cinque Terre coastline at sunset aboard a traditional Italian boat, with a maximum capacity of 12 passengers. The evening's schedule features an "aperitivo" with typical local delicacies, leisure time to unwind with your companions, and numerous opportunities for capturing photos worthy of a frame.
