The Cinque Terre at sunset, seen from the sea
As the last hours of the day unfold, the coastline changes colour. The houses turn golden, the shadows lengthen and the noise fades away.
Sunset allows you to experience the Cinque Terre in a quieter and more intimate way, away from the crowds on the trails and in the squares.
From the sea you can take in:
- Monterosso bathed in the warm light of late afternoon
- Vernazza and its natural harbour lit by the low sun
- Corniglia, the only village perched high on a cliff
- Manarola and Riomaggiore with golden reflections on the water
An authentic experience that respects the land
The tour takes place within the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area, in full compliance with environmental regulations.
We sail with care, in small groups, following the Marine Park’s conservation rules and promoting a more mindful form of tourism.
On board:
- We avoid single-use plastic
- We use handcrafted ceramic plates made in Levanto
- We work with local businesses
- We maintain a slow and respectful sailing pace
We believe that even a romantic or evocative moment should be experienced with care for the land.
The boat: our traditional Ligurian gozzo "Giulin"
There are boats, and then there is Giulin.
A Ligurian gozzo built by hand, entirely in wood, entirely unique — the creation of Dino Schiaffino, one of Levanto’s most respected master craftsmen. She has been on this sea for over forty years. And when the light of the late afternoon touches the cliffs of Punta Mesco and the five villages begin to glow in the colours of the evening, there is no better place to be than on her deck.
The Sunset Tour was made for this boat. And this boat was made for this light.

Why choose a sunset boat tour in the Cinque Terre
Sunset is the moment when the land grows quieter. The light is softer, the water calmer and the coastline feels more intimate.
A sunset boat tour allows you to:
- admire the villages with fewer crowds
- enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere
- enjoy an experience guided by locals
- discover the coastline in full respect of the Marine Park
And to finish: a sunset toast with a glass of prosecco, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Cinque Terre and the sea bathed in the golden light of dusk.
