La Spezia: Dream boat tour to the Cinque Terre

Come discover the magic of the Cinque Terre aboard Illusione, a one-of-a-kind gozzo. Comfort, simplicity and elegance are perfectly blended to make your experience unique.

I will wait for you at one of the meeting points aboard Illusione, a unique Ligurian fishing boat. Languages spoken: - Italian: mother tongue. - English: I can speak fluently. - French: I have been studying since last winter, so I am not yet fluent, but I can make myself understood. FULL DAY TOUR Once on board, we will sail peacefully along the coast towards Portovenere with its typical colorful houses, a real pearl on the sea! We will reach the beautiful Church of San Pietro, Lord Byron's Cave, and Le Rosse, a magical place where the water becomes crystal clear. Here we will make a relaxing stop where you can dive and snorkel in the crystal clear waters that characterize this stretch of coast. Excellent local food will be served accompanied by good wine or other beverages, with your favorite music playing in the background. We will continue our journey towards Scoglio Ferale, a pyramid-shaped rock that rises 30 meters high. We will pass through the stretch between the rock and the coast where there is a shallow area, and it will be beautiful to admire the color of the sea and the rocky seabed. We will continue on to Monesteroli, an old village overlooking the sea, and then enter the protected marine area of the Cinque Terre. We will sail towards the first village of the Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore, passing in front of the famous Via dell'Amore, recently restored, and slowly arriving in Manarola. The experience continues with Corniglia and Vernazza until we reach Monterosso. Here we will stop for 1.5 hours to allow you to have some time for lunch or to take a stroll along the narrow streets of the village. Once back on board, we will head back to La Spezia. On the way back, I will choose a suitable place for a final relaxing stop with the possibility of a last swim in our crystal clear waters. Local food and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks will be provided! HALF-DAY TOUR If you choose the half-day tour, the itinerary is similar to the full-day tour, but there is no 1.5-hour stop in Monterosso. However, it will still be possible to reach the Cinque Terre area with the chance to see the villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, and Corniglia from the sea, which are real gems on the sea. Don't miss the opportunity to book the tour of your dreams in the Cinque Terre! I look forward to seeing you on board! N.B. Weather and sea conditions may affect the tour itinerary. As captain, I take responsibility for recommending changes to the itinerary to ensure the safety of everyone on board. In the event of weather or sea conditions that prevent the tour from taking place, it will still be possible to disembark and visit the typical villages of the Gulf of Poets, such as Portovenere and Lerici, which are not to be missed if you are visiting our region.
