Discover the magic of the Cinque Terre coastline as you sail at sunset with 5 TERRE FISH AND CHILL, sipping local wine and capturing postcard views from the water.
Off the sun-drenched shores of Monterosso al Mare in the Spezia province of Italy, 5 TERRE FISH AND CHILL SRL offers a sunset boat tour capturing the raw, coastal beauty of the Cinque Terre. This rugged stretch of Mediterranean coastline is carved by cliffs of vibrant terracotta and limestone, punctuated by five vibrant fishing villages clinging to the hillsides above. From the boat, the view is cinematic: pastel houses stacked like a puzzle, fishing boats bobbing below, and vineyards scaling the hills with orderly precision.
What sets this journey apart is its balance of leisurely boating and immersive local flavor. Perfect for those aiming their lenses toward unforgettable seascapes, the tour pauses at each village, offering time to photograph rocky shorelines, tiny harbors, and the unique façade of each town. The guide’s expert knowledge enriches the experience, revealing cultural insights rooted in centuries of fishing and winemaking traditions along this UNESCO World Heritage coastline.
Beyond photography, the tour invites guests to take refreshing dips in the clear Mediterranean waters—a rare chance to swim away from crowded beaches. Afterward, the boat becomes a floating terrace where local tapas and regional wines are served. As the sun sinks toward the horizon, the golden light reveals a panorama of the coastline’s terraced slopes wrapped in shadow and light.
