Portovenere-boat company recommendations for short tour

[Travel To Be Free]

We will be in Portovenere for 3-4 hours and then would like a short 2-3 hour tour that goes by the Cinque Terre and then drop us back in La Spezia.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

Here is the ferry schedule for Portovenere and the Cinque Terre for June through October.  If you go on different dates, click on the schedules tab on top.  Dont forget, the dates are in the day/month/year format:

You don't need a tour for what you want.  From Portovenere take the ferry to Monterosso. After Monterosso, pick the other villages (if any) where you would like to stop on your way back to La Spezia.  You buy the round trip tickets on the spot.  The round trip ticket is 35 euros:

From Portovenere you can take the 11 am or 12 noon to Monterosso and come back at 3 pm straight back to La Spezia if you wish.  You still have the option of two later ferries if you want to make another stop.

Instead of the ferry, does anyone have recommendations for a private boat company in Portovenere that may do "short" excursions and have reasonable rates?
