About the experience

Leaving from the charming port of Santa Margherita Ligure, this full-day cruise invites you to discover a more expansive and wild side of the Ligurian coastline. Aboard the Gianetti 48 HT, you’ll follow a route that leads from striking rock formations to some of the most enchanting villages of the Cinque Terre, offering a seamless mix of adventure, beauty, and relaxation.

Your journey begins along the dramatic stretch of coast known as Rocce Rosse, where red-hued cliffs drop sharply into the sea. This natural wonder, often overlooked by tourists, offers a breathtaking backdrop and an ideal spot for a first swim in complete tranquility.

From there, the boat continues to Moneglia, a small seaside town sheltered by green hills. The water here is calm and inviting, perfect for a quiet break or a dip before continuing toward the Cinque Terre.

Next is Levanto, often referred to as the unofficial gateway to the five villages. With its relaxed beach-town vibe and wide bay, it’s a great place to enjoy the scenery and recharge before reaching the highlight of the tour.

The final destination is Vernazza—arguably the most photogenic of the Cinque Terre. Approaching it from the sea is nothing short of magical: pastel-colored houses rise above the tiny harbor, and the dramatic cliffs frame this perfectly preserved village.

This journey is a true immersion into Liguria’s coastal soul—unspoiled, scenic, and seen from the best possible vantage point: the sea.

    Our large group which ranged from small children to seniors had a spectacular experience from start to end. The Click & Boat team did a great job facilitating the connection and Andrea was very professional, responsive, timely, flexible and courteous. He and his crew member Mattia showed us a truly wonderful day on the sea with wonderful itinerary recommendations. Getting in/out of small ports and on/off boat was very easy. It was very clear Andrea has extensive experience navigating the waters and was masterful both as a Captain and as a professional service. Highly recommend this experience and we look forward to another boating experience with Andrea again in the future!

    I could not have asked for more from Andrea and his team. I had proposed to my fiancé on board and the experience was incredible! Aside from the amazing service, beautiful boat and surroundings, Andrea was a pleasure to work with. For months after I booked my excursion, Andrea communicated with me to organize food, drink, photography, agenda and more! He was extremely accommodating and flexible. If you are looking for a beautiful experience with full transparency, A+ service and communication, Andrea and his yacht are for you. Thank you again, my fiancé and I will hold this memory dear for our entire lives!!

    Great crew. Andrea gave great suggestions both on the navigation day by day and where to stop for lunch and dinner - when we were not on board. We had wonderful days. Thanks Andrea to Mattia L

    Andrea was an excellent skipper, with great local knowledge allowing us to find beautiful calm waters on a windy day. Pick up and drop off of friends was no problem. We cruised the coast of Santa Margherita, Portofino and Camogli. Delicious snacks of fruit, salami and cheese was provided, along with water, soft drinks, beer, etc. Towels and snorkelling gear also provided. Boat was fantastic, as it offers protection from the front, with sunbeds on the back to enjoy the sun. Andrea was incredibly friendly, and easy to communicate with and made great suggestions for a beautiful day on the water.

    Andrea was absolutely great. We rent boats all the times in Italy and his professionalism was impressive. A beautiful boat with an awesome crew. We enjoyed the ride from La Spezia to Camogli and he made our day! We stop in Portofino and several time to swim in nice areas. Would definitily use his service again. Grazie Andrea!?
