It was a fantastic experience and I'm so glad we did it. They even included a map of different spots we could stop off at. Boat had Bluetooth speaker so could listen to music and cool box to keep drinks cold. Amazing. Communication was good throughout. Would definitely recommend!!!

Get a boat app before you start. The boat has no navigation set nor maps. The area is beautiful with many small bays.

Amalfitana very beautiful, Amalfi and Positano completely overcrowded and lots of rip-offs. Seeing them once is enough. Marinas very expensive and poorly equipped, hardly any and then bad sanitary facilities.
Amalfitana sehr schön, Amalfi und Positano völlig überlaufen und viel Nepp. Einmal gesehen reicht. Marinas sehr teuer und schlecht ausgestattet, kaum und dann schlechte sanitäre Anlagen.

We sailed around the island of Santo Stefano. In the south of the island there are beautiful bays for swimming. In the north, between Stefano and La Maddalena, the sea was very rough today
