Cinque Terre Luxury Boat Tour: Swim, Sun & Unforgettable Views

We thoroughly enjoyed our Cinque Terre boat trip with Marco & offsider Kiara. We loved the personalised and local knowledge given. English isn’t their first language but they spoke from the heart and made the trip memorable. Fabulous food and drinks were enjoyed along with great music on the trip back.

A MUST do trip in Cinque Terre! The small boat left from Levanto and we saw the villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore from the sea. Incredible views, especially as we had hiked the area. We loved this tour! Marco & Chiara explained the history and traditions of the area in beautiful detail, with a delicious breakfast, then served us focaccia and drinks. We stopped twice to swim and snorkel in spectacular places, including a cave. Wonderful day!

We can’t say enough about the boat trip with Marco and Chiara. Marco is such a knowledgable guide to the water and the life of Levanto and the Cinque Terre. We felt so lucky to travel with him and the trip ended too soon. He had a dream he shares with all who board his tiny craft and we were able to share it for a wonderful four hours. Grazie, grazie grazie.

Marco & Chiara kindly picked us up from Monterosso. They both shared lots of interesting information about the places we saw (in French and English for the guest’s needs). Good coffee, delicious things to eat & multiple swimming spots in stunning clean water. What a great experience the whole trip was for my daughter & me. lovely trip, lovely people - thank you!

Our morning tour with Marco and Francesca was a highlight of our 3 weeks in Italy. For our 15 year old daughter it was her best experience! Marco and Francesca really looked after all of us so well. Great food, wonderful history and we saw some of the beautiful towns. The weather did not cooperate and the sea was rough and windy so they had to change the tour around a bit. We missed the best snorkelling spots but still saw a lot and loved it all. We were out on the water for a good 3 hours and had lovely food served in rough seas and despite all that they issued a full refund because it wasn't exactly as planned. I thought this level of customer service was amazing and it left us feeling so positive about the whole experience. Thank you Marco and Fransesca. We would recommend this trip to all!

A must do when visiting Cinque Terre! As soon as we got on the boat, they made a fresh cup of coffee right on the boat for my mom! And had fresh pastries from their favorite local bakery! Even though the waters were a bit rough on the day of our tour, it was still an amazing trip! We got to see the beautiful Cinque Terre towns from the water (the best way to see them for sure!) and chat with locals and other tourists that were on the boat with us. They served us delicious focaccia, cheese, salami, and wine! Jumping off the boat to swim in clear, warm waters was a fantastic way to end the trip! Because of the kindness of the captain and first mate of this tour, I highly recommend it!

Great experience the morning boat tour with the captain Marco and Chiara of Rosa Dei Venti! Amazing views of Cinque Terre from the sea, while listening to the stories of the captain Marco, an experienced captain born and raised in Levanto. He gave us great tips for walks in the area, restaurants, etc… With delicious food for breakfast and “aperitivo” brought from exclusive local suppliers (very much appreciated the pastries and focaccia from an old authentic “fornaio” and the bio cheese and sausage, with wine, served during the tour). And they are very flexible and service oriented! 100% recomendable!!

The water was too cold to snorkel. Wish they had warned us, as the trip became more of a slow cruise through the villages. We were able to get off at one town for a bit, which is apparently not normally allowed. That made up for some time because we couldn’t get in the water. The tour guides English was sub par, so we spent most of the time just cruising. She tried hard but many questions we asked were not clearly answered. Overall it was peaceful and full of beauty. It seemed over priced for the level of service received. In the end, we had a good time, just expected a bit more for the amount paid. Communication booking was amazing and they did wait a few minutes when we arrived late.

This place is amazing! It's just wonderful, so peaceful. I don't have enough words to describe. It's not a party place, just peaceful and quiet. The food is great, the staff is wonderful and the grounds are beautiful. Don't change a thing, Mekong Delta

Even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not do the boat tour. The company did everything they could to make it happen. Each day we communicated and they would move our reservation. .. we appreciated there efforts and highly recommend them...I am positive that if the weather had worked in our favor, we would have had an amazing experience.
