Having read the CT Card web site, it was not clear if the CT card included ferry service between the villages? Thanks.

The standard Cinque Terre Card includes busses, elevators, walking trails, and trains in all of the 5 towns between Levanto and La Spezia. These CT Cards are available in 1, 3, and 7 day increments and are sold at the railroad stations (tourist/ticket office) in each town. However, the Cinque Terre Card also has an add-on option (ferry boat) for 1 day's travel only for an additional fee. FYI, children and groups can get discounts on the CT Cards as well. Check out the website for more information on the CT Card: www.parconazionale5terre.it

A local boat company, 5Terre, navigates the waters in the Golfo dei Poeti, with boats leaving hourly (beg. 9:00 am until 7:00 pm, time dependent on what town you are taking a boat to/from). These boats operate from each of the 5 CT towns, going back and forth between them and also Portovenere. A RT ticket between Monterosso (the northernmost CT town) and Riomaggiore (the southernmost town) will cost you approx. 13 euros. A RT ticket between Monterosso and Portovenere (south of La Spezia, in the Golfo dei Poeti) will cost you approx. 16 euros. 5Terre also offers special excursions to see the small islands in the Golfo dei Poeti (Palmaria, Tino, Tinetto), as well as stops in the towns of Portovenere and nearby Lerici. The 5Terre boat company has an office in Monterosso (Via P. Semeria, 32) or you can walk down to the harbor in each of the towns to find the little ticket booth/office selling the boat tickets from that town to another.

Thanks for the info, Huitres.

I've posted it to the Helpful Information thread.
