From Manarola: Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Cruise with Swim Stop

Your tour begins at the Pier of Manarola

Meet your English-speaking skipper at Manarola's small harbor, tucked below pastel cliffs. Step aboard a traditional Ligurian gozzo, the wooden fishing boat that has plied this coastline for centuries.

Sail north to Corniglia and Vernazza

Head north toward Corniglia, the only village perched high on a clifftop rather than at sea level. Then reach Vernazza, considered the jewel of Cinque Terre with its natural harbor and Doria castle ruins.

Anchor off Monterosso village and toast the sunset with local wine

Then anchor off Monterosso, the largest village with a proper sandy beach. Weather permitting, take a swim in the Ligurian Sea, then toast the setting sun with a glass of local Cinque Terre wine on board.

Cruise past Riomaggiore and the Via dell'Amore

As you turn south, cruise past Riomaggiore, the southernmost village and birthplace of the region's beloved Sciacchetrà dessert wine. Admire the famous Via dell'Amore cliff path from a seaside vantage.

Your tour ends at the Pier of Manarola

Finally, glide back into Manarola's harbor under a sky washed in twilight blues. Step off the gozzo with new stories, tasting notes, and photos of the Cinque Terre coastline most ordinary tourist don’t get to see.
