Vernazza: the pearl of the Cinque Terre revealed from the sea
Vernazza is considered by many to be the most precious gem of the Cinque Terre. Seen from the sea, it is an explosion of color: perched houses descending to the small harbor, the church overlooking the water, and the castle looming above like an ancient guardian. Sailing from Levanto with Rosa dei Venti 5 Terre Boat Tours, Vernazza appears like a living painting, a place that excites even before reaching the coast. The sea excursion allows you to capture details that are lost from land: the jagged cliffs, the cultivated terraces climbing the mountain, and the natural harbor that has made this village one of the most photographed in Italy. The sea here reflects every color of the village, creating plays of light that change with the time of day.

The little port and the story told by the waves
As the boat approaches, the small port of Vernazza lights up in all its harmony. The church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, built directly on the sea, becomes a beacon guiding the gaze. The waves lap against the ancient stones, while the fishing boats color the water like brushstrokes on an artist's canvas.
Sailing slowly beneath the Doria Castle, you can sense the strength with which the village has resisted storm surges and time over the centuries. During excursions from Levanto, Rosa dei Venti 5 Terre Boat Tours takes guests to privileged vantage points from which to admire the entire village, sharing its history, traditions, and details that are only visible from the sea. The cliffs, shaped by centuries of wind and salt, become an open book, a natural tale that enhances every moment of the voyage.
Bays, swimming breaks and clear waters
The area between Monterosso and Vernazza is full of coves and inlets accessible only by sea, perfect for swimming in clear, calm waters. Here, the coast becomes wilder, with seabeds teeming with marine life and colors ideal for snorkeling.
Stopping in the bays near Vernazza means experiencing a moment of absolute peace: the sound of the water, the scent of the sea, and the village in the background create a magical atmosphere. It's a unique way to discover Vernazza, away from the tourist crowds and immersed in Liguria's most authentic nature.
