About this experience

Set sail on an unforgettable journey along the breathtaking coastline of the Cinque Terre.

Your journey takes place aboard a traditional "Ligurian gozzo", carefully maintained and fitted. The boat features plush cushions, a shaded area to relax out of the sun, and a stern beach platform with ladder — making it easy to hop in and out of the water during our swim stops.

As we cruise past all five villages of the Cinque Terre, we’ll pause in famous and unique locations for plenty of photo opportunities. Step into the frame and capture the kind of memories that last a lifetime.

We’ll anchor in a stunning cove. Here, you’ll have the chance to dive into the Mediterranean sea.

As golden hour approaches, it’s time for a classic Italian aperitivo at sea. Sip on a refreshing glass of local wine or Prosecco

Soft Music& Salty Seabreeze, this is your moment to truly unwind.
