Renato was a terrific captain and host. He was very responsive leading up to our boat day and was a joy to be onboard with. He was well stocked with drinks and light snacks, and was accommodating to our plans for the day. Highly recommend chartering Renato's boat!

Francesco was a warm and wonderful host, making our trip to Capri and Positano most memorable. From the Prosecco to the sunning and swimming from his beautiful yacht, we had a great time and recommend Francesco highly.
