Full description
To really get to know the Cinque Terre, you have to discover them together with those who live them every day!
Set sail from Monterosso with fisherman Beppe and immerse yourself in the wonder of the Ligurian Riviera at sunset.
A 2½-hour tour where you will admire the colours of the villages of Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore on board a typical gozzo. What are you waiting for, hop on!
What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Monterosso (SP) . Waiting for us will be skipper Beppe, an expert connoisseur of the Cinque Terre, who will welcome us on his traditional wooden gozzo.
We will set sail from the pier and sail down the coast towards the east, passing each of the Cinque Terre villages - Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore - to take photos from a privileged perspective. We will then make a swimming stop of about 15-20 minutes to cool off in the waves and admire the seabed with the snorkelling masks available on board.
Once we reach Riomaggiore, we will relax with a toast on board with wine or soft drink. On the way back, we will sail further offshore to Punta Mesco, the wildest area of the coast. Here we will try to spot the dolphins that often frequent these waters, while enjoying the quiet of the open sea.
Finally, we will admire the sunset over the sea, which will give us a unique light on the villages before returning to port. The activity will last a total of 2½ hours.
