Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Ride Recommendations

Hello,

We have a group of 9 people (including a 6 and 1 year old) and are looking to do a 2 hour sunset boat ride in Cinque Terre. We are going in April! Any recommendations? Tips? Thank you!

Hi! We had a great experience with Marco at this company: https://rosadeiventiboattours.com/en/

Our tour was in early October, and we chose the sunset and aperitivo option. I think your group would fit…we were among a group of 10-12. Marco grew up in the area, and had interesting historical and cultural information to share. Our tour left from Levanto, from a pier that was about a 20 minute walk from the train station. It was lovely to see the towns from the water, and as it was very crowded when we visited, it was also a relief to be away from the masses.

On our tour, we were the only ones who really talked with our captain. The other guests talked amongst themselves. I noticed that Marco had poetry painted around the inside of his boat, and asked about it. This began a wonderful conversation about his feelings about Italy, and the sea, and poetry in general. It was a really unexpected and pleasant conversation! We really enjoyed the whole experience.
