The fleet
A pair of Ligurian boats, moving as one.
Choose the rhythm, not the timetable. The day is held by a local captain, a small boat and enough open water to change your mind.

The living atlas
Five villages. One unhurried line.
The coast is read differently from the sea: terraces become contours, harbours become pauses, and every headland opens the next chapter.

The five chapters
The coast, village by village.
A quick field guide for the places that rise from the water along your route.
Monterosso al Mare
The largest of the five — and the only one with a true beach.
Vernazza
The natural harbour — many call it the most beautiful of the five.
Corniglia
The quiet one — high on the cliff, among the vineyards.
Manarola
Perhaps the oldest — and the most photographed.
Riomaggiore
Where the day ends — the easternmost village.

The useful details.
Booking & payment
Do I need to book ahead?

Can I change or cancel my booking?
Full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before departure. Within 24 hours, it is non-refundable.
What if the weather turns?
If sea conditions aren't safe, you'll get a full refund or a free reschedule — the skipper decides no later than 4 hours before departure, based on the marine forecast and harbour conditions.
