Glide away from the crowds on a hybrid-powered evening cruise from Levanto to watch the Cinque Terre light up at sunset. Expect seaside perspectives on Genoese villages, a swim or snorkel stop, and a local aperitivo as the coast fades to gold.

You push off from Levanto as the sea cools and the villages along the Ligurian coast fall into silhouette. The boat hums forward on a hybrid engine, cutting a low wake while the cliffs and pastel houses of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore appear in sequence, each village pitching its own light toward the sea.
