A different view of Cinque Terre
Leave the crowds on shore. Your captain shapes the day around the water, the light and what you feel like doing next.
Aboard your private gozzo
The day unfolds between quiet coves, sun-warmed villages and long stretches of open blue.
Choose your way out
2 hours
All five villages from the water, a cold drink in hand, and a local who tells the stories the ferries never stop for.
3 hours
The whole coast with an hour to swim in the protected coves — Guvano beach and a hidden bay just before Manarola.
3 hours
Golden hour along the cliffs, a swim in two quiet coves, and the sun going down behind the point — focaccia and wine aboard.
Leave the old harbour behind and let the day open slowly — a first swim, a quiet glass and the whole coast ahead.
One coast · Five characters

“A beautiful moment along the coast of CinqueTerre on the brand new 'gozzo PAOLONA' with Andrea and Davide: a perfect experience during these very hot days. Together, they let you discover hidden places of this unique part of the world: you can swim in crystal clear water far away from the crowd. Very recommended: comfortable boat, professional and friendly team. Thanks for the unforgettable boat tour!”
“We went for a 5 hour tour with Andrea. There were 4 of us and we stretched out and relaxed all day. The boat was very nice with both shade and sun and plenty of room for comfort. It was great seeing Cinque Terre by private boat especially on a hot, crowded July day. We also went to Portovenere and stopped to swim twice. The day flew by and we loved every minute of it! Definitely a good value for a private excursion. Andrea was great with communication.”
“Really nice trip for the family. Fully recommend doing this vs the horribly packed ferries. Nice boat that is probably comfortable for 8 (we were 6). We did the 2 hour trip which is just enough to see the 5 towns from the sea or, as we did, see 4 towns and then have a nice 20 minute swim in a quiet bay.”
Notes from the pier
Davide and I take you the whole coast — from Molo dei Pescatori past all five villages, into the quiet coves the ferries never reach.
Before you step aboard
Everything you need to arrive at the pier relaxed and leave without a hurry.
Each trip takes a small group — up to 6 guests — so it's best to book ahead, especially in peak season.
No need to pay in advance — book in a moment, then settle with your skipper at the pier before departure.
Cancellation is free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. Within 24 hours, the booking is binding.
If sea conditions aren't safe, the trip is called off and you rebook or cancel free of charge — the skipper decides no later than 4 hours before departure, based on the marine forecast and harbour conditions.
At Molo dei Pescatori, Monterosso al Mare.
Aim to be at Molo dei Pescatori, Monterosso al Mare about 10–15 minutes before your departure time.
Yes — life jackets for every guest are on board, as required for the trip.
Yes — the tour includes time to swim in clear water, so bring your swimwear and a towel.
Comfortable clothes and shoes you don't mind getting a little wet, plus a hat and sunglasses for the sun.
Your own sun cream is a good idea — the glare off the water is strong even on a mild day.
