The tourist and maritime consortium of the 5 Terre–Gulf of Poets was created in 2000 by the sea transport companies operating for decades in the area of the 5 Terre and the Gulf of La Spezia, with the aim of establishing a single management facility for the local sea transportation, and, above all, for an adequate promotion of its services.
Indeed, over the last few years, the Consorzio Marittimo has distinguished itself both in Italy and abroad for its ongoing and professional promotion of the Province of La Spezia, its accommodation facilities and tourist transportation services.
The Consortium’s 16 motor-ships guarantee links between La Spezia, Lerici, Portovenere, the Cinque Terre, and the villages along the coast up to Moneglia and Portofino.
In the high summer season, the Consortium employs about 80 people including onboard and shore personnel distributed in ten ticket offices and information points across the area of La Spezia.
