Perfect experience out of a movie! You will not be disappointed. - Our sunset cruise was the most memorable experience we had on our trip to Italy! Our cruise felt out of a movie, perfect in every way. Luca and Mattia were informative, fun, and warm. They made us feel welcome with their vibes, the drinks and the explanation of Cinque Terre. We got to stop and swim in the water, and see the fish. I would highly highly recommend this cruise! You will absolutely not be disappointed. We left with a lifelong memory and new friends! Thank you Mattia and Luca!

Trip cancelled by police patrol - The police patrol and the boat captain seemed to be in a dispute about whether or not the boat could pick our group up at the doc. Apparently the captains are supposed to pay a fee to pick up people but squirted around paying them and often pick people up there anyway. This seemed to have angered the paying customers that do pay the fee. However the police just smiled and said they can pick you up and when they tried it was obvious they were going to get detained. They went back and forth for 45 minutes before the captain said I am sorry I am not allowed to pick you up. Not something you want to deal with on a once in a lifetime trip. We did get our money back but just be sure whoever you book with has the clearance to pick you up at the dock. We later learned this is not uncommon.
