What to Expect
Enjoy a private gozzo motorboat experience with an English-speaking captain, designed for a relaxed and unforgettable day along the Cinque Terre coast. We highly recommend adding a private guide for a more memorable experience. A private guide is available for the duration of the tour. Your captain will be waiting for you at a convenient meeting point at La Spezia port, holding a sign with your name on it.
From the moment you step on board, your day begins at a comfortable and unhurried pace, far from the crowds.
Set sail along the Eastern Ligurian coast, where the landscape gradually transforms into the iconic scenery of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Seen from the sea, the Cinque Terre reveals a completely different perspective.
Colorful villages appear suspended between sky and water, vineyards climb steep cliffs, and small coves open along the coastline. As you cruise, you will enjoy moments of pure relaxation, with time to swim in clear waters, unwind on board, or simply take in the views.
Throughout the day, your captain will navigate along the coast, stopping in the most scenic areas, always adapting the experience to sea conditions and your preferences.
You will also have the opportunity to go ashore in Vernazza, widely considered one of the most picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre.
Here, you will have the chance to stroll around and also to enjoy lunch in one of the local restaurants overlooking the harbor, a simple yet authentic experience that reflects the flavors of the region.
After lunch, return to your boat and continue your cruise along the coastline, enjoying the final moments of your day at sea before heading back toward La Spezia in the afternoon.
This is not just a boat tour.
This is Cinque Terre — experienced from the sea, at your own pace.
