About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- louisaL4019TE0 contributionsA don’t miss experience!!The Captain Loris and Eugenio were extremely knowledgeable, hospitable and caring during the entire 4 hour cruise. We stopped in front of each of the 5 towns for gorgeous pictures. The meal was one of the best we had in Cinque Terre! Initially, appetizers of anchovies and pesto bruschetta were served, followed by muscles, prawns, and swordfish. All perfectly cooked on board by Loris and Eugenio. Our meal was topped off with Tiramisu, homemade by Eugenio. Drinks were plentiful and the lemon cello spritz was especially delicious. A stop for swimming in the Ligurian Sea was pleasant experience. Aquamarina boat leaves from the old town ferry pier in Monterosso. A must excursion if you’re visiting Cinque Terre!!Written 16 September 2024
- 932kathies0 contributionsA must doThe whole experience was impressive and really enjoyable. Great quality fresh seafood, cooked on board by the skipper, and plenty of good wines. The staff were super friendly, enthusiastic and informative, with great knowledge of the area. The crew providing an opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the Ligurian Sea. Plenty of photo opportunities and a ring side seat to the world’s most beautiful cliff side villages. This is a well organized cruise that over delivered on quality and value. Would most definitely recommend this cruise.Written 5 September 2024
- Pie970 contributionsThe BEST boat tour with fabulous food & an exceptional crew!The lunch boat tour was absolutely fabulous! I would highly recommend it to everyone.

- Ashleigh W0 contributionsDreamy boat tourThe lunchtime boat tour around Cinque Terre on the Aquamarina boat was what dreams are made of. It was exactly what we were looking for in a boat tour. Relaxing and fun. Our swim in the ocean was divine. The seafood lunch was delicious and generous. The drinks were readily available. It’s hard to put into words just how amazing this experience was. A highlight of our trip and of our lives; swimming in the clear blue Mediterranean, delicious seafood lunch and a lovely view of the five towns. The boat size was also perfect- nine guests on board was just the right amount. Thank you so much. We won’t forget this tour.Written 22 May 2024
- catherinecR7905SR0 contributionsLovely trip!The trip was lovely - perfect weather, calm sea and amazing views. The guide was really helpful and had a good sense of humour. Food was great - mussels, langoustines and swordfish. We also got to swim twice in the crystal clear sea. We would definitely recommend this boat tour.Written 5 October 2023
- nickcE9760HU0 contributionsDon't miss this opportunity in Cinque TerreThis tour is the best. What a beautiful day we had aboard the boat. Small intimate groups, Tour guide and captain we so friendly and helpful. Swimming and snorkeling at two locations in crystal clear warm waters. Abundant supply of drinks on board and the best seafood lunch cooked on board. You can not go wrong with this company absolutely amazing da.Written 29 September 2023
- Pdgtoa0 contributionsGreat boat tour of 5 Terre with good food and drinks and very friendly crew!Very well organized tour to have an amazing view of the villages from the sea. We had a very friendly guide Eugenio and an excellent captain. Food was plenty, good, cooked on board and drinks too including Prosecco, wine and Limoncino. Just one suggestion: we forgot to take medicine for movement sickness… as my wife as well as another passenger were sea sick, it would have been nice to have some medicine (Dramamine) on board to reduce the symptoms…Written 10 September 2023
- curtissS9242NY0 contributionsA great day on the water!!!Memorable experience-captain and his second mate, Eugenio, took good care of us. The weather was lovely and the water couldn’t have been better. The grilled muscles were followed by shrimp and then swordfish with plenty of white wine!!Written 13 August 2023
- Rosalind M0 contributionsChoose this one!Best decision to go with this company! Excellent communication before the trip to ensure we arrived at the correct spot. (We were traveling from Florence to Cinque Terre for a day trip.) The views were phenomenal. The captain described several points of interest but we mainly just relaxed and took in all of the extraordinary views. Lunch was delicious - swordfish, shrimp, mussels and focaccia. Cooked to perfection. Swimming in the afternoon. We made new friends, laughed and had a perfect Italian experience. Thank you.Written 30 July 2023
- chelsea-tumbleson0 contributionsBook. This. Tour!This tour was amazing! We were contacted a few days before that the water/weather in the Cinque Terre was going to be very choppy and we wouldn’t be able to do our original tour. But the company reached out a few days beforehand to ask us if we wanted to do a similar tour nearby that went out of La Spezia to visit Porto Venere. Although we didn’t see the Cinque Terre by boat, they did everything they could to make it worth our while. We paid the exact same rate as the previous tour, and the tour even went a little longer than the original one did. The guides were so knowledgeable about the local areas and exceptional cooks for the delicious seafood lunch. Because of the last minute change, we almost had the entire boat to ourselves! They served us wine, Prosecco, and water, and we were able to have just about as much as we wanted. Best boat tour to book in the Cinque Terre. 10/10 would book Aquamarina Boat Tours again. :) Thank you!Written 22 July 2023
- DeannaOlympia0 contributionsFun cruise and delicious foodThe boat captain and first mate were so friendly and fun that we booked a sunset cruise before we left the boat! Food was prepared on a bbq right on the boat and the captain really knows how to cook! Highly recommend this cruise and the sunset cruise as well!Written 19 July 2023

I cannot recommend Aquamarina highly enough. If you are lucky enough to book a tour with them I suggest you do so with no hesitation.
The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and go to great lengths to ensure you enjoy the adventure. Communication with Aquamarina throughout the process was always efficient and prompt.
I would also like to note that I originally made this reservation for June of 2020 and had to cancel in April of 2020. Aquamarina was very understanding and refunded my entire amount within 24 hours. When it came time to finally go on our Cinque Terre vacation I knew I wanted to book with Aquamarina and I was not disappointed.

We booked this trip as we were only in Monterosso for one night and felt it would be a good way to the see the Cinque Terre. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunset and views of the 5 towns and enjoyed the prawns cooked on the boat. We paid ÂŁ200 for two people and we did feel it was a lot for what was delivered but maybe this is a reflection of the popularity of the Cinque Terre and therefore prices are higher. The website also advertised a welcome drink and drinks 'throughout the tour'. In reality there was no welcome drink, we were served a couple of glasses of wine (or soft drinks) with the food (an hour and a half into the trip) and then our glasses were cleared away. This wasn't a huge problem but we were expecting to be able to enjoy the views and sunset with a glass of wine in hand and perhaps would've felt the ÂŁ100 per head price tag was a little more justified if this had been the case.

This boat tour of the Cinque Terra coast was a delight as it was hosted by someone who grew up in Vernazza. He could tell us all about the local history, swimming holes, and proudly spoke of the fishing. Then he produced an amazing seafood barbecue for us which included prawns and swordfish he had caught that morning. And of course, he provided the delicious white wine of the Cinque Terra region. While this tour was not fancy, it was intimate, with only 12 passengers. Well worth the asking price! My partner and I were very impressed, and the sunset was gorgeous! RM

Terrible experience. Please don’t book with this company. Go somewhere else. We booked a sunset cruise, waiting around for the cruise, arrived at the dock and they were nowhere to be found. I finally called and they said it had been canceled. I was not made aware at any time until right then and they said, well we have just canceled it. If I canceled 15 minutes before a tour, I would be charged fully for that cancelation. There is no negative repercussion for the company. Seems like a terrible imbalance. We should be given the value of the tour for another tour, but they just said, well we canceled and you will get a refund. Yeah, but it cost them nothing except this terrible review.
My family was extremely disappointed and really made the day a bad day for us.
Do yourself a favor and go with another tour that won’t cancel on you.

Hello Sir,
here Silvia we spoke yesterday at the phone!
We had a problem our our booking system...as I explained to you yesterday all our tours in Cinque Terre has been cancelled and moved in a different area, Gulf of the Poets, all customers that we had scheduled that night went out on the alternative itinerary tour.
Your booking has been done the day of the experience and we were sure the date was closed.
Sea conditions has been choppy all day and if you were in the area you could have certainly see there were no small boats around but just ferries.
I'm very sorry that this ruined your day.
We will make sure to double check always the booking system and improve our attentions to not make the happen again but such a bad review for a tour that you didn't even done I don't think could be written even to the worst company ever :):)
We do our best to make all our guests happy and I just want to let you notice that it's not true it doesn't cost us nothing, we have a heart and are person who cares about people holidays and people's plan.
Error can happen to everyone!
Stay Human
Keep enjoying your holidays

We had a slight mishap and missed the pickup in Monterosso. When we booked the sunset tour, the tour operator sent a message saying the pickup time was going to be earlier than what was indicated in the trip description. We book this tour months ahead and it would have been nice for the tour operator to send a reminder the week or day before the tour date. Luckily the boat was willing to pick us up in Vernazza and everything else was great. The skipper was born and raised in Cince Terre and had lots of stories and history to us about the area! Food and wine was delicious! The sunset was absolutely stunning and made for a perfect romantic boat cruise for my wife and I!

A little late posting this, but we had a great time on our tour back in July! We had done the hike between the 3 towns (path is closed to the last 2 due to mudslides) and being able to see the towns from a different perspective was awesome. The guide was really knowledgeable and gave us lot of cool tidbits. The food and drinks were a perfect amount. They take you to see all the towns, then stop to for a quick swim, then find a nice calm area to watch the sunset. There was an upper deck area with bean bags which were so nice and cozy as we watched the sunset :). We only had about 10 people on our tour so it felt intimate and not crowded like some tours can feel. Again, really great experience.

Even though the weather conspired to not give the magnificent sunset we had seen the day before, the cruise along the coast with this company gave us so much more than I was expecting. From the professional crew (perfect spoken English) to the comfort on board (we sat up at the bow and had wonderful experience).
Seeing the Çinque Tære from the sea brings a completely new dimension to their beauty, made all the more special by the crews intimate knowledge of the area.
And then we ate. Cooked on board, the food was the perfect accompaniment to the evening.
Thoroughly recommend this company for a very special time at sea

This was easily one of the best sunset cruises we have ever taken. We had a group of ten and if we thought that the best part was looking at the water and sun, and the spectacular beauty of the Cinque Terre coastline, we were wrong. This is an epic outing with delicious food, cocktails, and such a nice dinner. We were completely blown away and loved the crew, their friendliness and of course the amazing service. You can’t go wrong. We would put this on the top 3 excursions we did on our 13-day trip through Florence, Tuscany, and Cinque Terre. You don’t want to miss it. I can’t wait to return.

Would highly recommend. The crew was extremely kind and always asking if I wanted more to drink, and even remembered my name. The food they cooked was fantastic, and the crew was very informative about telling us all about Cinque Terre as we cruised around the area. Sunset was beautiful, and the boat included an upper deck with a great view.

Highly recommended experience! The guys on the crew, Eugenio and Loris, were kind, welcoming and very nice. The tour is really beautiful, also considering the panorama that acts as a backdrop. The crystal clear sea, the spectacular sunset and the excellent food (fresh fish grilled on board and various appetizers with Ligurian focaccia) made the experience perfect!
