8-Hour Cinque Terre Boat Day with Ligurian Lunch

A full-day small-group odyssey combining the Cinque Terre coastline by boat with a lavish on-board Ligurian lunch — fresh seafood, local wine, and the Gulf of La Spezia as your dining room.

What to expect

The day begins in La Spezia or Portovenere and the boat threads its way up through the Cinque Terre, pausing at villages for optional short explorations ashore. Mid-day the vessel anchors in a sheltered bay for a full Ligurian lunch served on deck: think grilled branzino, house-made focaccia, trofie al pesto, and chilled Pigato. The afternoon returns along the coast, the villages soft-lit in afternoon gold. It is, in short, the definitive Riviera day.
