We had a great time with Andrea. He was ready on time, provided drinks and snacks. We were able to boat around the area stopping a couple times to swim. The boat was little more outdated than the provided photos, but clean. Overall an amazing experience!

Had an outstanding 3.5 hour boat tour with my family. Alex was professional, personable and very knowledgeable about the Portofino/Santa Margherita area. Loved looking at all of the remarkable homes built across the peninsula. Will definitely reach out to Alex for another tour when we return to the area.

Andrea is a first class captain of a fantastic boat! He and his staff made our day trip along the Italian coast fantastic. He was even able to make a lunch reservation at a restaurant for all 8 of us. I highly recommend Andrea for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional and communicative captain for an unforgettable experience around the Cinque Terre. Very happy with the experience!
