Sunset Boat Tour to Cinque Terre with aperitif on board

Experience the Cinque Terre from the water at sunset, when the coastline takes on warm, golden tones. Cruise past all five villages, with time to swim, snorkel, and relax on board. This small-group tour offers a მშვიდ and scenic way to enjoy one of Italy’s most iconic coastal areas.

Details

Set out from Levanto in the early evening and explore the Cinque Terre coastline by boat, away from the daytime crowds. As the light softens, cruise past the five historic fishing villages, known for their colorful houses and terraced hillsides overlooking the sea.

During the journey, there will be opportunities to stop for a swim or snorkel, with equipment provided. While sailing through the protected marine area, you may also spot local wildlife such as dolphins. On board, enjoy a simple aperitif with wine or a soft drink, accompanied by light snacks, as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.

The route includes views of Vernazza, admired for its harbor and vibrant tones in the evening light, as well as pass-by views of Corniglia, perched above the sea, Manarola, often noted for its romantic setting, and Riomaggiore, marking the southeastern edge of the Cinque Terre.

This small-group boat tour offers a relaxed pace and a more personal way to experience the coastline, combining scenic views, swimming stops, and the atmosphere of sunset at sea.

What a great time we had. Great little boat with max 12 people. We stopped for a swim in the beautiful clear water and Captain Marco had a fresh water shower for us when we got out. Information and history provided along the way and he made sure everyone could take photos by turning the boat around. Can play music through the speaker which just added to our time on the boat. Great snacks and drinks too. Highly recommend.

An amazing sunset boat ride! Linda and the captain were both amazing, full of knowledge and stories about the towns in Cinqueterre - you can tell they are so passionate about what they do! We loved the boat ride (wasn’t too crowded either) and there was more than enough food and drink. I’m not normally one for reviews but this was definitely a highlight of our trip and we would recommend to anyone and everyone travelling to Cinqueterre! Great way to see the towns from a different perspective.

Beautiful sights with amazing hosts (Marco and Eleonora). The best way to see The beauty of Cinque Terre is from the water. Having passionate locals tell us about the history and their adventures was a plus!

Swimming in the clear blue water, Marco feeding seagulls right out of his hand, the delicious snacks and drinks, Marco’s passion and love for his country and his environment and his excitement at sharing it with others. Having a small group made it even more memorable and fun. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
