Totally pleased with the boat and the captain. The boat is good for doing the Cinque Terre tour. We could land in two locations and it was very important to experience the villages. The boat was clean and efficient. The captain was very kind and helpful. Very well organized and good value.

We had a wonderful day exploring Cinque Terre! We got to see all five 'lands' and to stop in Monterosso for lunch. There were also two stops in open water to allow us to jump off the boat into the sea, so refreshing. A very welcome surprise was the drinks and snacks provided by the crew. Definitely a day we'll remember :)

"We rented a motorboat from Alessandro. The rental was very simple and uncomplicated. We were able to board 10 minutes earlier than expected. After a brief introduction, we were immediately in the water and reached Procida. In total, we were out for 6-7 hours. The return of the boat went very well. The whole team was very kind and welcomed us very warmly. We will definitely book again. Thank you all!"

Booked Marco's Sunseeker for our engagement celebration; when it had an electrical issue the day before, he upgraded us to a much larger yacht with three crew rather than cancel. All-inclusive exactly as promised, honest and fast communication, English-speaking crew who took great care of us as non-swimmers, and a lovely day around the promontory with lunch booked at Stella Maris. Would book with Marco again without hesitation.

We spent an amazing day with Gaspare. From the initial conversation about potential weather issues, right through to the day before the trip when we arranged the food and entertainment on board, he was extremely helpful and clearly knowledgeable about both skippering and hosting. Everyone on the boat, adults and kids alike, had a great time listening to his stories and eating his delicious food. All in all, a fantastic experience, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

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
