Best way to see the Cinque Terre!!
We came from a cruise ship and booked this excursion on our own. Many of our fellow cruisers were stuck taking the crowded trains or ferries. We had a relaxing day on the water with Sebastiano and this was the best decision. Sebastiano was a great captain and guide. He brought us to see all 5 towns of the Cinque Terre while stopping in Vernazza for lunch, which he arranged for us. We also stopped in Portoverne which isn’t part of the Cinque Terre but had a lot of charm and is far less crowded. I would highly suggest working with blue boat tours. Megan was easy to communicate with and always answered our questions quickly. Do yourself a favor when visiting Italy and book with Blue Boat!!

Cinque Terra the best way!
Amazing day that was better than anyone expected. Our captain and crew were Simone and Sarah, complete professionals and unbelievably accommodating. We walked from the cruise terminal to the nearby pier where Sarah met us and led us to a beautiful Tiara motor yacht which was very well appointed and everything very clean. Boat was well appointed, excellent seating areas, cold drinks, and amazing food. This boat had a good private head too so no worries for anyone. We covered more distance than I expected and we were taken past amazing scenery and were able to go swimming at two different spots. The town we were able to tour was accessed by a small tender run by a genuine local guy, he waited for us and brought us back very securely and safely. The small town of Vernazza was amazing, we walked around and saw beautiful shops and scenery and found great things to bring home. Local seafood was tasty and then it was back on the boat for more swimming and then the crew put out an amazing spread of local food while at anchor. After that it was a nice boat ride back to the pier, overall it was about six hours. We all had such a great time! My 16 year old daughter even said that it was possibly the best day trip ever. We have toured, traveled, and cruised all over the world and this is the best so far. Highly recommend! 11/10👍

Traumtour mit dem Boat
Eine rundum gelungene Bootstour zur Cinque Terre. Wir waren insgesamt 5 Personen und hatten die Tour von Deutschland vorab per Email reserviert. Ausgezeichneter Kontakt. Reservierung ohne Anzahlung oder sonstigem vorgenommen. Dann unverhofft ein Upgrade auf das Blue Boat erhalten. 2 Stopps in den Dörfern. Sehr angenehme Besatzung. Getränke und Snacks wurden gereicht. Absolute Weiterempfehlung. Schöner kann man die Dörfer nicht betrachten.

Excellent excursion
We had a beautiful day on this private excursion. The boat was extremely comfortable and meticulously cleaned. The crew were knowledgeable and friendly. Cinque Terre is absolutely stunning and it was a dream of mine to see it by sea. This was my favorite excursion while in Italy. Thank you to the crew!

Excellent moyen d’explorer les cinque terre!
Bateau très confortable, pilote charmant, à l’écoute, pédagogue. Magnifiques vues depuis l’eau et la terre! Nous avons fait trois stops dont deux sur deux villages différents des cinque terre et un stop à Porto Vénère. Entre 45 minutes et une heure de temps à chaque halte pour visiter. Nous sommes partis de La Spezia à 10h30 pour un retour a 16h30, ce qui correspond à 1/2 journée. 6 heures de bonheur!

Adventure for those in a wheelchair!
This boat tour was so AMAZING and it was the perfect adventure for my mother in law in a wheelchair. Although she can walk a little, Europe is a hard place to have a wheelchair. She got to see things without the crowds blocking her view and with those she was travelling with. They provided a wonderful fruit platter and for lunch a charcuterie board with so many flavours known for in Italy. We even had anchovies and mussel, along with bruschetta using the tomatoes and olive oil. A favourite was the cheese that is only made here, it was delightful. Plus we got to snorkel and swim at our own spot by the shore and swim to a cave while our mother in law enjoyed lounging in the boat. It was a fantastic way to explore and see things without the crowds. Plus stopping at 2 of the towns was a highlight. They were so kind to help my mother in law off the boat. Fantastic experience, 12 out of 10!!

Giornata in barca da rifare!!
Consiglio caldamente il servizio offerto da Blue Boat. Il team è molto preparato e disponibile. Durante la richiesta di informazioni e prenotazioni siamo stati supportati in modo impeccabile. Dato che, per quando avevamo richiesto inizialmente la gita in barca, le previsioni del tempo e del mare non erano belle, ci è stato proposto un giorno alternativo. Durante l'escursione siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti di ogni aspetto, dalle spiegazioni fornite sui borghi delle cinque terre al cibo per il pranzo con prodotti freschi e tipici liguri!! Sicuramente da rifare
