We had an amazing day on the Amalfi Coast. The boat and the services were great! We chose to take a skipper with us and we didn't regret it. It was very helpful having someone knowing the region to take us to the best spots. Bottom line, we couldn't recommend renting a boat with Luciano more highly.

We had the best day! Vincenzo was an incredible Skipper. Highly recommend you request him. Polite, respectful, friendly. My wife and I will always book with Fabio & request Vincenzo as our Skipper. We recommend you do the same. You won’t be disappointed.

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
Wir sind um die Insel Santo Stefano gefahren. Im Süden der Insel gibt es wunderschöne Badebuchten. Im Norden, zwischen Stefano und La Maddalena ist die See heute sehr rau gewesen
