About the experience

Set sail from Rapallo and venture beyond the familiar into a realm of dramatic coastlines, storied villages, and secluded islands. This full-day cruise aboard the Gianetti 48 HT is an invitation to explore Liguria’s wilder, more poetic side—where every stop is a chapter in a living storybook written by nature and time.

The day begins with a scenic cruise toward the Rocce Rosse, where deep red cliffs meet crystal-clear waters in a striking display of color and contrast. This unspoiled corner is ideal for an early swim or a quiet moment under the sun, surrounded by silence and sea spray.

Next, you’ll glide past the enchanting Vernazza, one of the Cinque Terre’s most beloved villages. Perched above the sea with its layered colors and tiny harbor, Vernazza is a natural amphitheater facing the waves—timeless and unforgettable.

As the coastline shifts, you enter the legendary Gulf of Poets, long admired by writers, painters, and dreamers. The village of Portovenere rises with medieval charm and dramatic beauty, its church and castle standing like guardians over the sea. It’s a place where history clings to the rocks.

The final part of the journey brings you to the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto—a trio of untouched islets scattered across the gulf. These islands feel far from the everyday, inviting you to swim, explore, and unwind in their peaceful embrace.

This cruise is not just a route—it’s a voyage into the poetic heart of the Ligurian 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!!

    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!?
