Welcome aboard the Levante & Maestrale
Tommy and I take you the whole coast — from Molo dei Pescatori past all five villages, into the quiet coves the ferries never reach.
Leave the crowds on shore. From Monterosso al Mare, the coast reveals itself slowly — hidden coves, pastel villages, and water so clear it feels unreal. This is the Cinque Terre as it should be seen: privately, from the water.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

What if the weather turns?
If sea conditions aren't safe, you'll get a full refund or a free reschedule — the skipper decides no later than 4 hours before departure, based on the marine forecast and harbour conditions.
