Due to semi-rough sea conditions, our overall speed was limited and therefore traveling to Positano and around Capri wasn't possible in a 4 hour rental period.

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.

We had a great trip on Stefania’s boat. All very well organised and quite easy to book online. We booked for four hours but still had time to visit Capri from Sorrento. I would definitely recommend this boat hire.

The rental was a pleasure from beginning to end. Boat exactly as promised, like new, and ready to go ahead of schedule. An ideal first experience for my son who had never driven a boat before. Great afternoon out. Special mention for Stefania (owner) and Carlo (who met us and showed us around) and who were very quick and efficient with communication. Bottom line, 100% recommend and would absolutely go back if the opportunity comes again.

Absolutely top boat rental experience. Great communication and simple pick up. Boat was as described. We had a full day exploring the coast line down to Positano. We anchored up and swam ashore to secluded coves. Was a brilliant day, would highly recommend hiring a boat with Stefania.

We had a fantastic day with Antonio the skipper and Francesco, our guide. Nothing was too much trouble - the route was changed on the spot to accommodate our particular wishes. Francesco spoke excellent English and pointed out all areas of interest on the way up to Positano. We spent a fun couple of hours in the streets of Positano before being taken on to Praiano for a beautiful seafood lunch. Francesco had booked all this ahead for us and ensured we had a warm welcome when we arrived. The day ended with a wonderful cove swim and feeding the fish, before reclining on the front deck with Prosecco all the way home. Antonio and Francesco were fantastic hosts and gave us the best day of our holiday so far. Thank you to them both. See you next time!

What a fantastic day and the highlight of our visit to Sorrento. Everything ran smoothly and we were looked after perfectly from beginning to end. Communication leading up to meeting the boat was great. Skipper Filippo was friendly and knew the best local spots to visit. Matilde, our hostess looked after us perfectly throughout the trip. The boat was amazing being only a few weeks old. I have chartered similar size boats 7 or 8 times in recent years and this was probably my favourite. Next time I visit Sorrento I would definitely hire again. Thanks guys.

Giuseppe is a wonderful host. The boat is as advertised with some little hiccups but he is very accommodating and any issues that came up he and his partner were quick to try and fix. The boat is older but is very pretty and the value is there! I recommend taking him out of Naples port as it seems to be his home port not Sorrento.
