Boat Tour From Portovenere to the Cinque Terre

[MalibuCA]

My husband and I will be cruising the Mediterranean with a stop in Portovenere on April 28, 2014 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. We want to see the Cinque Terre from the sea by boat tour. We are not looking to disembark the boat in any of the five villages, but we are interested in a relaxing boat ride - about two hours in length, if possible - to enjoy the beauty of the coastline. I know that the ferry runs along the coastline with stops at most of the villages, but what we really want to find is a tour that doesn't stop, but simply cruises along the coast beginning in Portovenere and returning there at the end of the cruise. Does such a tour exist? Can you please share the contacts for any reliable boat companies you may know? Is there a boat tour that I can pre-book from home, or do I need to arrange for the tour when I arrive in port?

 

Thanks,

Shelley
