Everything was great. Boat was in good condition. Advice from Paolo was good and we managed to find a little cove that we had all to ourselves for most of the day.

We had the best day with our skipper Vito. The food and drinks were amazing and he was so helpful. 100% reccomend to anyone to do the full day. The paddle boards were great too.

I enjoyed my charter with Francesco and Giuseppe! They were very responsive, friendly and even went out of their way to get me a fishing rod to fish! The catamaran is nice and clean and we were offered some local Apulian snacks which was a lovely touch. I'm planning to return to Bari to book another longer charter with them.

Great experience. They were flexible with my arrival time which was nice. The boat is exactly what you need for a day on the sea, nice seating, bluetooth speakers, cooler. Would book again.

We had a great day out with Vito. The boat was well maintained and had plenty of space, with the added bonus of a floating bed and paddle boarding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and Vito was incredibly helpful and responsive. Can’t recommend booking this enough! Thanks for making our holiday

An excellent rental! Communication was clear, pickup was easy and efficient. The boat was pristine and to an untrained eye seems pretty new. It was very easy to handle, and came complete with a laminated map of the various bays and caves along the coast. Coaching on boat handling and rules was given in the port area before we set off by ourselves, and a life jacket was available for our 8 year old son. The coastline you can reach within the 4 hour window is simply stunning, with some beautiful coves and places to stop for a swim. Absolutely nothing to fault - we’d gladly return again. Grazie!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience renting a boat from Peter Nautica. From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded my expectations. The booking process was incredibly easy and straightforward. The SamBoat website is user-friendly, and I was able to select the perfect boat for our day out on the water in just a few clicks. The staff were very helpful, attentive and friendly showing us instructions including a video in our language and physical instructions with perfect english. The boat itself was in pristine condition—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary safety gear. Our time on the water was absolutely perfect. The boat performed flawlessly, offering a smooth and enjoyable ride. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities on board, including a cooler stocked with ice and a Bluetooth speaker for our music. It was evident that the company takes great pride in their fleet and customer. 5 stars ️️️️️

We loved the boat, very clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the sun deck at the front. The captain was very friendly. We would certainly recommend it

In half a day you can cover only one of the two coastal sides (either north or south). The sea in the afternoon of August 23 was quite rough, so it was not possible to stop for more than a dive in the middle of the sea.
In mezza giornata si riesce a coprire solo uno dei due versanti costieri (o direzione nord o direzione sud). Il mare nel pomeriggio del 23 agosto era abbastanza mosso, per cui non è stato possibile fermarsi per più di un tuffo in mezzo al mare.
