Experience the Cinque Terre from the sea aboard Illusione, a traditional Ligurian gozzo. An authentic, relaxed experience away from the crowds, to discover the coast like a local.
Climb aboard Illusione, a traditional Ligurian gozzo, and come experience the five lands from the sea in an authentic, relaxed way, far from crowded tours.
This is not just a boat excursion, but a genuine moment at sea to share together, with breathtaking views, stops for swimming in crystal-clear waters, good local food, and the unique atmosphere of the Ligurian coast.
We will set sail along the wonderful Gulf of Poets until we reach Portovenere with its iconic colorful houses on the sea. We will admire the picturesque Church of San Pietro, the famous Lord Byron's Cave, and Le Rosse, one of the most beautiful places on the coast, where the water becomes incredibly clear.
We will then continue towards the Scoglio Ferale and the quaint village of Monesteroli, until we enter the Marine Protected Natural Area of the Cinque Terre.
Here we will stop for a relaxing swim: you can swim, snorkel, or simply enjoy the sea accompanied by excellent local food, wine, cold drinks, and background music.
We will sail slowly past the wonderful villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola. Here we will make another stop to enjoy an aperitif paired with local food and cold drinks.
We will continue towards Corniglia and Vernazza until we reach Monterosso al Mare, where you will have free time to explore the town, relax on the beach, or enjoy a bite to eat at the typical seaside restaurants.
On the way back to La Spezia, we'll enjoy one last relaxing stop in one of the beautiful bays along the coast, for a final swim and our last moments together at sea.
On board, you will find a simple, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere designed to let you experience the sea like a local.
I look forward to seeing you aboard Illusione to share a special day together in Cinque Terre.

Please note: Weather and sea conditions may affect the tour itinerary. As captain, I take responsibility for recommending changes to the itinerary to ensure the safety of everyone on board. In the event of weather and sea conditions that do not allow the tour to be completed, it will still be possible to disembark and visit the typical villages of the Gulf of Poets, such as Portovenere and Lerici, destinations not to be missed if you visit our region.
