La Spezia: Dream boat tour to the Cinque Terre

Discover the enchanting allure of the Cinque Terre as you cruise on Illusione, our distinct gozzo. Crafted for your ultimate enjoyment, this vessel seamlessly blends comfort, simplicity, and grace, promising a truly singular and memorable voyage.

Ahoy there! Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! I'll be waiting to welcome you aboard "Illusione," a charming, traditional Ligurian "gozzo" boat, ready to whisk you away on a coastal dream. Imagine this: we set sail, gliding along the picturesque coastline towards the jewel of Portovenere. Picture postcard-perfect colorful houses line the shore – it's simply breathtaking! Our journey takes us past the iconic Church of San Pietro, the legendary Lord Byron's Grotto, and the magical "Le Rosse," where the water transforms into the clearest, most inviting turquoise you've ever seen. Here, we'll drop anchor for a blissful break. Dive into those crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim or grab your snorkel and explore the vibrant underwater world. And of course, no Italian escape is complete without delicious local treats, flowing wine (or your drink of choice!), and your favorite tunes setting the mood. Next up, we'll cruise towards Scoglio Ferale, an impressive pyramid of rock rising dramatically from the sea. We'll navigate the shallow waters between the rock and the coast, where the sea's colors and the rocky seabed create a mesmerizing spectacle. Our adventure continues towards Monesteroli, a quaint, historic village clinging to the cliffs, before entering the protected marine paradise of Cinque Terre. We'll sail past Riomaggiore, the first of the Cinque Terre villages, then glide past the famous Via dell'Amore (Lover's Lane), recently restored, before gently approaching Manarola. The enchantment continues as we pass Corniglia and Vernazza, ultimately arriving in Monterosso. Here, you'll have about 1.5 hours to explore – savor a delightful lunch or wander through the charming, narrow streets of this captivating village. Back on board, we'll begin our return journey towards La Spezia. On the way, I'll find the perfect spot for one last, utterly relaxing stop. Dive in for a final swim in those incredible waters, and, naturally, more local delicacies and refreshing drinks will be on hand! Don't miss out on creating memories that will last a lifetime! I can't wait to welcome you aboard! P.S. Please note that weather and sea conditions can sometimes influence our route. As your captain, I prioritize your safety and may need to adjust the itinerary accordingly. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, we can't complete the full tour, we'll still make sure you experience the beauty of the Gulf of Poets. We'll disembark and explore charming villages like Portovenere and Lerici – absolute must-see destinations in this stunning region!
