  • Our Boat is a traditional Ligurian gozzo, we would like to inform you that due to this value it can unfortunately also have the defect of oscillating a lot in case of choppy seas (waves starting from 40/50 cm high ) therefore for us it is more probable a cancellation due to choppy seas compared to other companies, if this is not a problem for you, we will be happy to have you on board our Giulin

Beautiful scenic boat ride - Spending the day on the water was just what we needed in Monterosso! The boat pickup was easy to find. The waters were a little rough, and since the boat is a bit smaller, many people on our tour felt seasick. The snorkeling was awesome and the two swim stops were perfect. Seeing each of the towns from the water was so picturesque! The snacks and Prosecco were very good. This is a great way to get on the water, away from the crowds, and spend an afternoon in Cinque Terre.

Don't hesitate to book! Cruisers this is a great port day activity! - Unforgettable Cinque Terre Boat Tour Our family of four, including two boys aged 12 and 7, had the pleasure of a half-day boat tour from Monterosso while in port at La Spezia. This experience was phenomenal from start to finish and quickly became a top highlight of our trip. Alessandro and Thomas were exceptional guides, making our tour truly unforgettable. Their warm hospitality and deep knowledge of the area made the tour both fun and educational. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters and learning fascinating details about the picturesque hillside villages. The delicious snacks and refreshing drinks provided were a delightful bonus that enhanced our overall experience. The boat tour offered breathtaking views of the Cinque Terre coastline that we will cherish forever. Alessandro and Thomas ensured that everything was perfectly timed and organized, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It was a fantastic way to explore the stunning Cinque Terre, and we would eagerly do it again!

Disappointing - We unfortunately had a serious issue with our tire late on Monday. We could not drive until it was fixed. We contacted the operator explaining the situation. They could not delay the boat for us or switch our days. Nor did they offer any refund. The experience was heartbreaking and disappointing to say the least. For that much money I feel they could have been more accomodating.
