Your safety and comfort are our highest priorities. If weather or sea conditions are not suitable, our team will contact you promptly to offer the best available alternative:
- Alternative Itinerary
The Cinque Terre coastline is exposed to the open sea. With southern winds (SE or SW), sea conditions may become rough and local harbors unsuitable for safe boarding.
If weather conditions remain sunny, we may offer an alternative experience within the stunning Gulf of Poets (La Spezia, Portovenere, Lerici).
Thanks to its naturally sheltered configuration, this area provides excellent navigation conditions in the vast majority of cases, allowing for a beautiful day at sea with swimming opportunities and breathtaking scenery.
- Rescheduling
Whenever possible, we will offer the option to reschedule your original itinerary.
- Full Refund
If no suitable alternative is available, we will proceed with cancellation and a full refund.
