Ciao! I’m Davide.
I have always lived in the Gulf of La Spezia and precisely in my small town of Vezzano Ligure where I have also a little guest house, Collimare rooms.
Didi boat tour is the activity, created and wanted by me over the years.
Before that I worked for a large company that operates in the container terminal of La Spezia. For 9 years I was a worker and I moved containers from all over the world using large cranes 20 meters high.
Over the last 6 years, before leaving my job, I literally built two rooms to rent and I bought my first Didi boat with the determination of someone who wants to change his life.
Today, 2025, I can say that I have succeeded and that I have grown, currently having 4 rooms to rent and having managed to buy Didi major, the boat of my dreams.
All the guests that I have had the honor of having and that I will have, have contributed and will contribute to fuel this dream of mine that comes true.
I thank you infinitely.
My goal is to make people visit the area of the Gulf of La Spezia, the Cinque Terre, Lerici and Portovenere like a local.
With respect, awareness and following the typical features and beauties that distinguish us.
Not a usually tour but only the best.:)
Didi Major Boat
Awards 🏆 I am among the lucky few who won the tender to let you visit the Cinque Terre national park
Didi is a typical gozzo, with a length equal to 8 meters with inboard engine, very large sundeck, faux leather cushions and classic wooden rudder to take us straight into the melancholy of the past.

This type of boat best represents what has always been experienced in this territory.
The cruising speed is 20 knots.
Engine: Yanmar 180 cv
Services on board: awning, shower with fresh water, wooden ladder to go down into the sea, faux leather cushions, fridge, towels, table and seats.
On board there are all the safety equipment as required by current legislation including the vhf radio, gps.
What do we do?
I welcome you aboard Didi Boat Tour not simply for a boat ride, but to share a journey shaped by the sea, light and time. As we leave the harbor and begin to sail through the Gulf of Poets, the coastline slowly reveals itself — a land where poets, sailors and travelers have found inspiration for centuries. From Lerici to Portovenere and La Spezia, every stretch of coast tells a story, best listened to from the water.
I offer both shared and private boat tours, designed to follow the natural rhythm of the sea. We can depart at sunrise, when the water is calm and the world feels suspended in silence, or continue throughout the day, ending with a magical sunset, when the sky turns warm and the villages glow above the water. Each moment brings a different mood, a different emotion.
Sailing south toward the Cinque Terre, the coast becomes more dramatic, carved by wind and waves. From the boat, you will discover Riomaggiore, where colorful houses cling to the cliff like brushstrokes on a canvas; Manarola, framed by vineyards and stone terraces that tell the story of generations who shaped this land; Corniglia, quietly resting high above the sea, watching over the coast from its rocky perch; Vernazza, with its small natural harbor and medieval towers rising proudly from the water; and Monterosso al Mare, opening up into wider shores, where the sea meets long beaches and crystal-clear reflections.
Between villages, I’ll guide you to hidden coves and secret inlets, places where the sea invites us to stop. Here, time slows down. You can swim in clear blue water, snorkel along the rocks, or simply lie back and listen to the sound of the waves against the hull.
On board, my goal is simple: to make you feel welcome, relaxed and connected — to the sea, to the landscape and to the moment. I share this coast not as a guide reading a script, but as someone who knows it deeply and loves it sincerely.
With Didi Boat Tour, every journey becomes a memory written by the sea — from the first light of dawn to the last quiet glow of sunset.
