Paolo was a great captain. He spoke English well and we were able to focus on our family get together and Paolo focused on the boat and the driving. It was a delightful trip.

Today our group of seven enjoyed an unforgettable boat experience that flowed effortlessly from start to finish. Booking was incredibly easy, and reaching the meeting point couldn’t have been smoother — everything was clear, organized, and stress‑free. From the moment we stepped onboard, the day felt special. The route, the atmosphere, the sea, the stops… every part of the experience was fantastic. But what truly made the difference were the “captains”: their availability, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm elevated the entire day. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the journey. It was one of those experiences where everything aligns — great company, beautiful places, and exceptional people guiding the adventure. A perfect day on the water. ️

The crew was great and made everything easy for us. The seas were a little rough but the captain did a great job to find the calm spots. Also had awesomewater toys to use. Definitely recommend and great experience.

An absolutely amazing adventure! Our family (my husband, our two teenagers, and I) had a fantastic time. There was a slight change with our reservation—the boat we originally booked on the website was unavailable, but the owners handled it very smoothly and promptly offered us a great alternative. Everything else was top-notch! The skipper went above and beyond: he picked us up from the port in his car and drove us back safely after the trip. Onboard, he was joined by his wife, and together they were the most welcoming, warm, and friendly hosts. They prepared a wonderful spread for us with alcoholic drinks, juices for the kids, delicious snacks, and fresh watermelon and pineapple for dessert. Great music, a very cozy vibe—it felt like spending a day with good friends. We went snorkeling, explored a cave, looked at the fish, and had a blast riding the board towed by the boat at speed! We loved every minute of it and highly recommend them!

We had the BEST day with Ciro! The boat is a beast (older and refined) with plenty of space. Ciro was assisted by his deckhand Sal who was also a lovely guy. We got to see the whole island, swum at some amazing locations, and the guys even cooked us an amazing spaghetti lunch. 10/10 recommend!

Great experience and would recommend. The boat was nice and reliable & Luigi and his team were helpful and trustworthy. It was a little bit confusing finding them at the port as we didn’t know what company name Luigi was under, but once we contacted him he helped us find where they are. Overall easy and enjoyable experience.
