We were staying in Portofino and also wanted to see cinque Terre but did not want to do the hike with three kids. We spent the whole day onboard the Riva Tropicana with Cesare as our skipper. He is very nice and knowledgeable. We stopped and the kids swam in an area called red rock. Being able to see the towns form the boat was amazing. We stopped in Vernazza for lunch at Gianni Franzi. The food was amazing and Cesare requested a perfect table facing the piazza for us.
Away from the crowded beaches, we toured from Portofino to Cinque Terre... we stopped to swim and then enjoyed lunch in Vernazza. Out captain Antonio was great( friendly and knowledgeable)
Our primary focus is to make you enjoy the beauties on our coastline! Glad to hear you spent a beautiful day with us, far from crowded places and confusion of tourists. Thank you :)
We enjoyed a wonderful day with Giovani aboard the Vices. It was myself and my sister and my daughters, ages 20 & 18. My sister is a very active and well traveled paraplegic. She has wanted to see Cinque Terre for years. She did the Amalfi coast by boat a few years ago, and so we decided to do it for Cinque Terra. Giovanni and his uncle coordinated to make sure that not only could we see the Cinque Terre, but were able to get off and have lunch as well. They were incredibly helpful and flexible with planning and support. We had a wonderful day that we won’t forget. Grazie!
Honored to have your sister’s wish come true! We‘ve done our best to make you feel confortable first of all onboard and around the 5 terre area as well. We really appreciate your kind words! Hope to see you soon :)
My mom and I spent three hours exploring San Fruttuoso, Portofino, and Camogli on board Matteo’s boat, and had the best time! We even swam and spent an hour longer than expected because the sea was so nice. We were celebrating a birthday and Matteo opened a bottle of champagne to help us celebrate. Great memories and highly recommend this as the best way to see the coast! (especially smaller fishing villages that are harder to access by land, and far less crowded than Portofino).
Amazing! We booked a private tour from Portofino to all 5 villages of Cinque Terre. Gabrielle, our captain for the day was 5 star! He took the liberty of booking us the best table at the best restaurant in Vernazza! I would highly recommend their services for anyone!
We stayed at Hotel Splendido and the Concierge recommended Giovanni and the 32 foot boat. He was early and we did a 3 hour cruise to cover the Liguria Coast. You can stop for lunch if desired. It was safe, professional and informative. We had friends who had also made the same recommendations.
The sea was calm and weather perfect. You may want to bring your own water or beverages. They do request you remove your shoes and be barefoot.
This was easy. The tour was perfect, very relaxed and he answered all our questions.
I have no reservations using Giovanni and think it is a wonderful 3 hour excursion.
Bring a jacket, wrap just in case it's cool and of course a hat or sunscreen.
What a unique way to view the homes of the Liguria Coast!
Don't miss it. He is very courteous, safe and professional.
Enjoy.
