About us

Your guide

You can’t have a boat tour without a helmsman

Hi, my name is Davide Rossi, owner of Cinque Terre Adventure. For 26 years I have been living in this area with great passion, exploring the nature here and its most hidden and picturesque corners, always searching for new adventures.

My bond with the sea is what represents me most: from surfing and freediving, to sailing and fishing, I have covered all the possible fronts, so that now I know the marine environment around the Gulf of Poets and the entire coastline of the Cinque Terre like the back of my hand.

Growing up, I realised that my territory’s little gems and beauty, some of them better known than others, needed to be shared with others. Cinque Terre Adventure came into being from this awareness, an initiative based on a very simple philosophy: to offer a full-immersion experience guided by people who have really lived in these places and are able to speak about them and show them from the unique and privileged point of view of those who love the Cinque Terre and observe them every day with their eyes brimming with emotion.

The boat

You can’t have a helmsman without a boat

Yes, my collaborators and I will be your guides and your skippers.

But we won’t be alone: joining us will be our inseparable travel companion, our CAP 18, a beautiful Schiaffino boat built by Cantieri Schiaffino right here in Liguria.

This Ligurian boat is about 7.5 metres long and 2.5 metres wide: the perfect size to comfortably welcome up to 12 guests, with comfortable seating areas and a spacious sundeck where you can relax and enjoy the Cinque Terre from the sea.

And the comfort doesn’t stop there. On board you will also find a freshwater shower, a sun canopy, a fridge, a sound system, snorkelling equipment, and of course all the required safety equipment, so you can enjoy a peaceful, relaxing and safe experience.

So, all aboard — make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the ride!

The base of operations

You can’t have a boat without a safe harbour

Cinque Terre Adventure is based in Riomaggiore, in an old cellar used in the past by the village’s fishermen to store their fishing nets.

Its position directly facing the sea makes this office perfect as an info point, check-in point and kayak rental location, but above all as a starting point for enjoyable adventures on the waters of the Cinque Terre.
