As we cruise by the beach of Guvano, a renowned naturist beach since the 70s, you’ll get a view of Corniglia and Manarola, villages noted for their vines and fine wines.

The final landmarks on our coastal journey will be Riomaggiore and Punta Montenero, located at the south-easternmost edge of the Cinque Terre National Park.

A don’t miss experience!! - The Captain Loris and Eugenio were extremely knowledgeable, hospitable and caring during the entire 4 hour cruise. We stopped in front of each of the 5 towns for gorgeous pictures. The meal was one of the best we had in Cinque Terre! Initially, appetizers of anchovies and pesto bruschetta were served, followed by muscles, prawns, and swordfish. All perfectly cooked on board by Loris and Eugenio. Our meal was topped off with Tiramisu, homemade by Eugenio. Drinks were plentiful and the lemon cello spritz was especially delicious. A stop for swimming in the Ligurian Sea was pleasant experience. Aquamarina boat leaves from the old town ferry pier in Monterosso. A must excursion if you’re visiting Cinque Terre!!

A must do - The whole experience was impressive and really enjoyable. Great quality fresh seafood, cooked on board by the skipper, and plenty of good wines. The staff were super friendly, enthusiastic and informative, with great knowledge of the area. The crew providing an opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the Ligurian Sea. Plenty of photo opportunities and a ring side seat to the world’s most beautiful cliff side villages. This is a well organized cruise that over delivered on quality and value. Would most definitely recommend this cruise.

Best outing in Monterrossi! - We had an amazing time on the boat with Captain Lawrence and first mate Eugenio. They were knowledgeable about each of the towns, sharing, fun historical and cultural information with us. They cooked us a fabulous delicious lunch, a fresh fish, right on the boat! We had plenty of time for swimming and snorkeling and cliff, jumping during this four hour leisurely trip. Would recommend without reservation. They were terrific!

Sensational day seeing 5 towns of Cinque Terra by water - We somehow got lucky and ended up on a lunch boat tour with just myself, my husband and our hosts. They were both very friendly, informative and we couldn’t have been looked after any better. The views from the boat were incredible as was the food and drinks we were served. Our hosts shared lots of interesting information about the scenery as we passed by. We also got to stop in beautiful spots for swimming, snorkeling and even some cliff jumping which added lots of fun to the experience. A day we’ll remember forever.

Nice experience; some caveats - Overall this was a nice experience, and my family was happy. The Cinque Terre area is lovely. The ocean is gorgeous and clear, and it's amazing to see the beautiful towns from the water. The crew keeps the drinks going, and are engaging. That said, there are a few things to consider if you want to book this trip: 1. The sea can get really choppy there, as was the case the day of our trip. 2 people in our group took several dramamine and still ended up sick for the last half; it was absolutely miserable. The crew will not check on you or help you if you're sick, so keep that in mind if you are going on your own. 2. If you have dietary restrictions or don't like seafood, you are limited on lunch. There is focaccia available but no other items for people with, for example, shellfish allergies. 3. The swimming is in deep water; it's not from a shallow cove/beach. Be aware that if the swimming portion of the cruise is a big draw but you are not a strong/confident swimmer, this may not be the trip for you.
