Itinerary
The San Pietro Church Portovenere is one of the landmarks in the landscape of Portovenere.
Palmaria is an Italian island situated in the Ligurian Sea, at the westernmost end of the Gulf of La Spezia. Measuring 1.6 square kilometres (0.6 sq mi), it is the largest island of an archipelago of three closely spaced islands jutting out south from the mainland at Portovenere. The other islands, Tino, and the tiny Tinetto lie further south.
Portovenere, a small town in Liguria, is one of the most beautiful places on the west coast of Italy. In 1997 Portovenere and the villages of Cinque Terre were designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Cinque Terre is a rugged coastline on the Italian Riviera and consists of the five beautiful hillside towns Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. In 1997 Portovenere and the villages of Cinque Terre were designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

3Very disappointing
Lovely yacht and great lunch but… 11 passengers, 5 of which were under 14 and only 1 crew member! One passenger brought 4 children, 2 of which were under 7. No safety briefing or any advice where life jackets were, very worrying as a super yacht sank off Sicily in the same week! The captain spoke english but as we were the only english guests there was little english spoken so we had little idea what we were actually looking at . Very , very disappointing day .
5Wonderful Daytrip
It was a wonderful daytrip with Manuela and Fausto (our very friendly crew). On Board Meals and Drinks were delicious and swimming / diving from the boat was so refreshing. In the end we were even sailing for 20 Minutes. Very inspiring. Thanks to Manuela and Fausto.
4Cinque Terra
We loved our trip on the Riveria ! Andria was great. Very pleasant and knowledgable. The lunch was good.
5I would do this again
It's a day on the ocean, sailing along the Cinque Terre. The food was fantastic, and the skipper was friendly and knowledgeable. I got to take the wheel for a while. I genuinely don't know how I would improve the experience.
5Best way to see the Cinque Terra coastline
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on the beautiful sailboat. We motored when necessary and sailed when the wind allowed. We highly recommend it
4Cinque Terre cruise
Very nice visit to Cinque Terre from a sea perspective. The skipper was very careful to man the ship for good picture angles and provided us with good background information on Cinque Terre. Good lunch well suited to the cruise with appropriate beverages.

About La Spezia
La Spezia is a Ligurian port on the Gulf of Poets, with a naval harbour, museums and the main rail gateway to the Cinque Terre villages and Portovenere.
La Spezia lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Ligurian coast, ringed by hills of olive groves and sheltered by a long breakwater.
