Cinque Terre Boat Tours Experience

On board, a light aperitif adds a local touch to your journey at sea.

We had an amazing time on the boat tour, the crew was fantastic and so nice. Stopping to swim was the best part but I didn’t bring a swimsuit, I highly recommend being prepared as the water is spectacular!!

Great experience! Hosts Lorenzo and William were welcoming, attentive and happily answered all of our questions. We especially appreciated the fun facts being shared about each town as we passed them by. The speed in which the boat travelled was slow and smooth to allow you picture opportunities and chill vibes throughout the entire tour. The aperitivo was generous and delicious with an assortment of focaccia and drinks! The snorkeling was less than basic, but none the less the swim spot had crystal clear waters and was refreshing. The only CON is that this excursion is falsely advertised: the description specially notes that the excursion includes both snorkeling AND and a stop in the town of Vernazza, but this is not the case; it’s one or the other depending on what the weather allows, which was a huge disappointment because that was the reason we paid this price compared to other more economical tours that offered the same. For this reason, the price is not worth the value as you can find cheaper excursions offering the same.

"Spent a wonderful morning on a boat tour with the Sea Breeze crew, William and Matteo. They did a lovely job of making everyone comfortable and offering insight into the unique characteristics of each town in Cinque Terre. Unfortunately the waters were a little too rough to take a dip, but the day was quite enjoyable. We had focaccia breads and wine on the ride back with music. A great day!"
