Popeye Boat Tours invites you aboard for an unforgettable maritime adventure along one of Italy’s most stunning coastlines.

From our base in Monterosso, we offer unique boat excursions that reveal the beauty of the Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the Gulf of Poets from the sea — a perspective that few visitors get to experience.

Founded by passionate lovers of the sea and local traditions, our company combines authentic Ligurian maritime heritage with a deep knowledge of the region’s history and landscapes.

Our two distinctive boats, a traditional Gozzo Ligure and the fully equipped Ghibli fishing boat, provide options for every kind of traveler, whether you want to relax on the waves, explore hidden coves, or enjoy a fishing adventure.

You will discover

monterosso boat tour

Monterosso

Monterosso is an historical seaside village located in the center of a natural gulf. The town is divided in two parts: the old part or historical center, where the boats dock, and the new part, called Fegina, in which one can find the train station and the famous statue of Neptune. Monterosso is less rugged and steep than the other villages of the Cinque Terre and it's the largest.
vernazza boat tour

Vernazza

Vernazza, one of the five centuries-old villages, is perched on the slopes of a rocky spur characterized by steep and narrow streets that descend towards the marina, surrounded by colorful houses, the medieval church of Santa Margherita of Antiochia, and the Belforte Tower of the Doria Castle. With a boat excursion, arriving in Vernazza by sea, you can admire the colorful houses and the medieval church from a unique perspective.
corniglia boat tour

Corniglia

Corniglia is suspended between land and sea, as it's the only one of the five villages that is inaccessible by sea. The roman hamlet, surrounded by vineyards and terraces, is perched on a cliff at a height of 100 meters that directly faces the sea; to arrive in the town, you have to go up the “Lardarina”, a long brick stairway (377 steps). To reach this town by sea, with a boat excursion, you'll be able to admire it in all its majesty.
