Good condition, very clean. Lots of space. Aldi face me a good tour of the boat before allowing me to take it out with my family as a bare boat hire (with license). Thank you!

Had a truly epic day on the boat with my family. The boat and trip were fantastic however what made the trip truly unforgettable was the skipper Vito who went out of his way to look after us and give us the best possible experience. Absolute legend!

Such a great day out on Dario’s boat and with skipper Gabrielle! Even with choppy water we were able to secure a great all day swimming spot. Highly recommend!

Riccardo was great stepping in when our original boat changed location last minute. Riccardo and all his staff were really helpful and even made a restaurant reservation for us! We have a fabulous time and Nicco our skipper was great! I think Samboat could have made it more obvious in the fees displayed that there is fuel to pay on the day as well as the skipper as it’s not obvious at all on their website but that blame lands with Samboat, not with Riccardo. Thanks for a lovely day Riccardo!

Great rental experience. Very good communication from Stefania and what to expect regarding handling, port fees, and fuelling. Carlo explained how to handle the boat and met us to return us to Sorrento Port. Very reasonable price for a full day hire, even though we didn’t use the full day, great value. Thanks!
