Glide along the dramatically terraced Ligurian coastline by private motorboat, hopping between the five jewel-coloured villages of Cinque Terre at your own pace. Cliffside trails, cerulean water, and fresh-caught anchovies await.
What to expect
Your skipper collects you at Livorno marina aboard a sleek private motorboat and heads north along the Ligurian Riviera. You anchor off Vernazza for a morning swim in crystal-clear water before the guide leads you up the stepped lanes to a terrace café for fresh focaccia and local white wine. Hop to Manarola for its famous panoramic viewpoint, then Riomaggiore for a long, lazy seafood lunch at a harbour-front osteria. The return journey at sunset, with the five villages glowing amber behind you, is simply unforgettable.
Good to know
Journey time from Livorno to Cinque Terre by boat is approx. 2 hours each way — best suited for ports with a 10–12 hour call. Cinque Terre National Park charges a day-access fee (EUR 7.50–18 depending on season); your operator typically includes this. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a swimsuit.
