What to expect

  1. Monterosso al Mare
    Pass by
    Monterosso is the largest of the Cinque Terre villages, known for its long sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and the contrast between its historic center and the seaside Fegina district. From the boat, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of its waterfront, colorful homes, and lively coastline.
  2. Vernazza
    Pass by
    Often considered the most picturesque Cinque Terre village, Vernazza stands out for its vibrant marina, cliffside homes, and the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia rising directly from the water. From the sea, you can also admire the Torre del Belforte overlooking the harbor.
  3. Corniglia
    Pass by
    Perched high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only Cinque Terre village without a port, offering dramatic terraces and panoramic views over the coastline. Seen from the water, its elevated position and sweeping vistas make it one of the most striking stops on the tour.
  4. Manarola
    Pass by
    Manarola is famous for its terraced vineyards, colorful houses, and scenic location at the northern entrance of the Via dell’Amore. From the boat, you’ll see the village rising above the sea, surrounded by one of the region’s most historic wine-producing landscapes.
  5. Riomaggiore
    Pass by
    Known for its tall, brightly painted houses stacked along steep hillsides, Riomaggiore is one of the most iconic Cinque Terre villages to view from the water. Its rugged coastline, marine protected area, and the starting point of the Via dell’Amore make it a highlight of any boat tour.
