Itinerary
Sailing along the coast of Fegina, they will see the famous sandy beach of Monterosso, the largest of the Cinque Terre. A little further on, the majestic Statue of the Giant will appear, a 14-metre high sculpture carved into the rock overlooking the sea: one of the most iconic symbols of the village.
Duration: 30 minutes
The Castle and the medieval tower
On top of the promontory dominates the village the Doria Castle, with its cylindrical tower that has watched over the sea since the Middle Ages. From the sea, the view is particularly striking: the tower seems to emerge directly from the cliff.
The small natural harbour
The boat will approach the quaint marina, the heart of the village. The tall and narrow houses, painted in typical Ligurian colors, overlook the water creating a unique scenic effect.
The church overlooking the sea
Near the port, the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia stands out, with its octagonal bell tower and apse facing the sea, one of the most photographed architectural elements of the village.
Cliffs and crystal clear water
Along Vernazza, you can admire jagged cliffs, sea caves and transparent waters perfect for a swim stop
Duration: 30 minutes
Approaching Corniglia by boat, customers will immediately notice its peculiarity: it is the only village in the Cinque Terre that does not have a port and is perched on a promontory about 100 meters above sea level.
⛰ The village suspended on the cliff
From the sea, Corniglia appears as a small pastel-colored jewel resting on the top of the rock. The compact houses seem almost suspended above the waves, giving a scenic perspective and less crowded than other villages.
Terraces and vineyards
Below the village there are spectacular terraces planted with vines, supported by ancient dry stone walls. It is here that the famous local wine is born, a symbol of the agricultural tradition of the Cinque Terre.
Wild coast and hidden coves
Sailing along Corniglia allows you to admire wilder and rockier stretches of coast, with small coves and clear waters ideal for a swim stop, if provided by the tour.
Duration: 30 minutes
The colorful houses on the cliff
From the sea, Manarola appears as a cascade of tall and narrow houses, painted in warm shades of pink, yellow and orange, which seem to descend directly towards the water. The perspective from below enhances the vertical and scenic effect of the village.
The small natural marina
There is not a real beach, but a suggestive towing ramp and a rocky cove where fishermen boats rest near the crystal clear sea. It is one of the most iconic and photographed spots in the country.
The terraced vineyards
Behind the village extend the famous vineyards of the Cinque Terre, cultivated on steep terraces supported by dry stone walls. From the sea you can clearly perceive the deep bond between man and territory.
Duration: 30 minutes
The houses colorful towers
From the sea, Riomaggiore looks like a compact row of tall and narrow houses, painted in typical Ligurian colors. Built next to each other along the steep slope, they create a theatrical effect that is best appreciated from the water.
⚓ The rocky marina
The boat will approach the characteristic natural cove where the fishing boats rest. The cliffs that protect the small port make this corner particularly suggestive and photogenic.
⛰ The terraces and the rugged coastline
