Sail along the Cinque Terre coastline, departing from Monterosso aboard a comfortable boat that can reach places hidden from most tourists. Swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy snorkelling surrounded by the natural beauty of the Marine Protected Area and if you wish the Captain having worked for many years as a swimming instructor and lifeguard can offer you helpful advice.
Begin your experience from the fishermen’s pier in Monterosso al Mare and admire the Cinque Terre from a uniquely intimate perspective: close to the shoreline, where cliffs plunge into the sea and small bays follow one after another. Weather permitting, you may also request to get on board in Vernazza, one of the iconic villages of the Cinque Terre.
Step aboard with Stefano, a sea wolf captain born and raised on this coast. With a maximum of five guests on board, the atmosphere remains relaxed and personal, ideal for travellers looking for a quieter and more authentic alternative to crowded tours.
Navigation stays calm and close to the coast throughout the route, allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery without venturing far into the open sea. If you wish, you can plan the route together with Stefano before departure, choosing where to stop based on your preferences and sea conditions. His stories and local knowledge offer a deeper connection to the history and character of the Cinque Terre Marine protected Area.
Along the way, admire the world-famous cliffs between Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, with a swim stop in a secluded turquoise bay chosen for the day. Dolphins and sea turtles are sometimes spotted along this coastline, so keep an eye on the water during the journey.
Return to Monterosso with salt on your skin, unforgettable photos on your camera, and a unique perspective of the Cinque Terre seen from the sea.
