We only had two hours... but the tour can be customized to the length desired. Stephano's love for the Cinque Terra is obvious. His knowledge of its history is evident and interesting to learn from. Stephano shared some wine and foccacia bread on board and brought us to a calm cave to swim in. If we had more time he... More

My family had a wonderful time learning about the 5 villages from Stefano and seeing them from the water. He provided us with wine and delicious focaccia and soft drinks for kids. He anchored a few times to let us swim in the beautiful Mediterranean. We were enjoying ourselves so much we extended an hour! For 80 euros(max 6 people)... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Stefano.....he is very proud of his culture and knowledgeable about the history of cinque terre. We approached Stefano last minute, late in the day, and he was more than happy to take us on a sunset tour. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip and would highly recommend... More

As Stefano will tell you, he is a simple man, living a simple life - but what he has to share with his guests is so much more than that! Stefano's knowledge of and passion for the Cinque Terre is infectious. He is a great person and a very gracious host. The views of Cinque Terre from the water are... More

We found Matilde Navigazione here on trip advisor. Stefano was the perfect host. From my initial email right throgh to meeting hime in Monterosso went smoothly. He gave us perfect directions from the train station to the dock. Stefano's passion for his home comes through in his tour. We were able to see so much in a short time. He... More

Definitely the highlight of our family trip to Italia was the time we spent on the water with Stefano. He is such a great person and guide, passionate about the area, and knows all the great swimming coves and caves (and restaurants!) from growing up there. Time literally slipped away as the 2-hour trip we booked took over 3, for... More

First of all, Stefano Mil Gracias. If there is one thing you must do in Cinque Terre, this is it. Stefano's passion and knowledge about the place he lives in comes through in all the information he gives you, which is limitless! We learned more in the 2 and a half boart ride we took with him, than all the... More

Our family had a wonderful time on a 3 hour tour with Matilde Navigazione and our Captain for the day Stefano. We had friends that chose to explore the region via the traditional land route and we saw and learned much more in our time there than they were able to do...This is a truly unique way to see the...

My boyfriend, myself and my little Yorkshire Terrier had the best 2 hour trip with Stephano on his boat. He warned us he may be running a little late and he was, but we were happy as we already knew and chilled at the dock in Monterosso. His boat is lovely. We lounged on the front in the sun and... More
