We had the best time ever on our boat trip with Giuseppe!! Honestly could not have asked for a better skipper he showed us some AMAZING spots to swim and chill and snorkel and was so friendly and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out to see the beautiful Sicilian coast, it was the highlight of our trip :))

A must do in Sorrento! We had such an amazing experience driving a boat to Capri and Positano. Maurizio made the process such a breeze! He explained everything and even provided an map on my phone which showed all the places we could go! Within no time we were on the boat, we were shown how to drive it in the marina before we set out on our day at sea! The boat is very easy to drive and its tge best way to see Sorrento, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. I cant recommend Maurizio enough! 10/10

Everything was as described. Very good communication and all questions answered. Carlo met us at the port and was very helpful explaining everything we needed to know about the boat and where we could stop on the map.

Guiseppe and Piera were amazing hosts. The boat was beautiful, comfortable and perfectly sized for six of us and we had a phenomenal day exploring the waters around Palermo. We were even treated to some home made limoncello and some snacks- 5 stars would highly recommend to anyone looking for a day trip. Grazie mille Guiseppe and Piera!

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
