We had an amazing time with Maxim and Anna! They were very communicative, they were fun, on time, and knowledgeable about the area. Their boat is spacious and lovely.

Highly recommended. Although we had a mechanical problem as soon as we left the port, they quickly arrived with a newer boat and replaced it for us promptly.

We had a very good charter with Matteo! The weather was not the best but Matteo took us to some good spots for us to snorkel and relax in the water. Would recommend 10/10

Great experience and Dario was incredibly helpful! We originally booked the boat captaining ourselves, but after choppy waters, we opted for Dario as our Captain. He helped get us to quieter waters and showed us hidden caves/spots we wouldn't have been able to find without a local! Couldn't recommend it more :) Informational, Fun, and overall amazing experience.

Cannot say enough about Ettore and his crew—absolutely amazing trip for my wife’s birthday. Ettore was in constant communication throughout the process. The boat was fantastic and the crew made our journey unforgettable. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Ettore for your next trip!

Fantastic experience with highly experienced Captain Riccardo, a lovely person, who took great care to make sure our experience was special. We really enjoyed the day on his beautiful boat, swimming in the clear blue waters, seeing the underwater volcano bubbles and had a delicious, relaxed lunch on Panarea in a lovely shaded restaurant overlooking the port. Highly recommend! Grazie mille Capt Riccardo!!

We had the best time on Francesco’s boat celebrating my husbands birthday. Francesco was an amazing skipper who was really knowledgeable about the local area and was really friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend this boat. The boat was lovely and new and felt really special for the occasion. Thank you Francesco for an amazing time

First time ever visiting, thought it would be nice to rent out a boat for the day. Never having rented a boat before, Dario from the off gave us all the information we needed, made us feel comfortable and provide a really really fun experience. Highly recommend using Dario for any boat rentals, we certainly will be in the future.
