I'm Francesca, born in Ravello.
What do I love about my job?
Definitely to see my guests happy, to fulfill their wishes, to care for every detail of their reception and accompany them in the discovery of my land!
L équipe a été très disponible, et nous a même proposé d avancer d 1 jour la réservation pour que nous ayons une meilleure météo !
Le bateau était top, très agréable moment !
Absolutely fantastic day. We did the Capri tour, had lunch there and visited other islands, grottos and beauty spots on the way there and back. Our skipper Marco was second to none. Kind, friendly, knowledgeable and none of us wanted for anything all day. Highly Recommend using Sam boat for any boating trip. Great service from start to finish
My wife and I rented a beautifully well maintained boat from Francesca today. We had such a wonderful experience.
Communication was great. Meeting place directions were easily understood and the on dock help was very helpful going through all the details.
Thanks Francesca for our great day out
Our boat experience exceeded our expectations! The boat itself was new, well equipped and a wonderful ride all across the Amalfi coast.
The communication of Samboat is excellent, the handover was professional with good information shared.
All-round made our Amalfi visit super special.
Thanks to all !
The whole experience from start to finish was excellent!! The fantastic communication from Franchesca was great and she made the whole thing very easy. Our boat was fully equipped with a cool box, bluetooth for our music, selfie stick etc etc. it was a modern gorgeous boat and we couldn’t be happier! It really was one of the best days we’ve had this whole holiday! Thank you team, highly recommend.
The booking went smooth and quick and Francesca provided a lot of information and booked the parking for us. The boat was easily found and Marco was there to explain the boat to us. He is a super nice guy and did a fantastic job. We had a fabulous day on the water, not cheap, but a day we will not forget sailing along Amalficoast and Capri.
Communication with Francesca from the very beginning to the end was excellent: she answered all my questions rapidly and provided clear and helpful information. The bist is amazing: new, clean with everything one would need during the day. Very happy with the journey we made and recommend to everyone!
Fabulous experience with C&F and its efficient and friendly team. The service is perfect and the boat superb and very comfortable.
We recommend C&F without hesitation.
Fabuleuse expérience avec C&Fet son équipe efficace et sympathique. Le service est parfait et le bateau superbe et très confortable.
Nous recommandons C&F sans hésiter
Very friendly and competent! We were always in contact, our skipper Marco was also very helpful and very nice. The boat was very clean, we had a wonderful boat day.. Thank you very much
Sehr freundlich und kompetent ! Wir waren stets in Kontakt , unser Skipper Marco war auch sehr hilfsbereit und sehr nett . Das Boot war sehr sauber, wir hatten einen traumhaften Bootstag .. Vielen Dank
We had an awesome day on the boat. The communication with Francesca was easy and she gave us very good tips. The boat itself was super nice, in very good condition and easy to navigate even without having any experience with driving a boat.
Stop where you want, have a swim in the open sea and have the best views of the most beautiful coastline.
Definitely recommend booking a boat with Francesca!
The boat was new this year and surprisingly fast! Exploring the coast was an incredible experience, as well as going for lunch and being brought in from an off-shore morning! Would highly recommend. As a guide - we used about €60 of fuel and were out all day, although going pretty slowly at times. Thanks to Francesca and Marco! If we come back to Amalfi Coast we would certainly use C&F again.
Incredible boat - very new, clean and modern. And spacious! The communication between both Francesca the owner and Marco who helped give and collect the boat was excellent. Couldn’t recommend more!
Couldn’t ask for more from Francesca and Marco. Made everything extremely easy, very professional, boat was faultless. Look forward to seeing you both again!
Had a great experience renting from Francesca! She was extremely helpful in directions to the marina, even sending along the ferry times to get from Amalfi to Maiori. The rental experience was flawless and we were provided a map of the coast with additional suggestions for restaurants and coves/beaches to check out. Would recommend to anyone spending a few days on the coast!
Great experience and a must if you are at the Amalfi coast. The boat was perfect for this area. Thank you to Francesca and Marco for this unforgettable experience.
I rented CF Hope with a friend for the whole day. The Service was very good, the boat was in very good shape and even for me without any experience driving a boat we had an awesome day. I would recommend everyone to rent a boat for one day when staying at the Amalfi coast, it is worth it.
Superb brand new Marinello speed Boat with many extras such as: Bluetooth stereo, shower, Goggles, Underwater Go-pro camera, more than enough comfortabele space for 6 adults.
Also Christina (booking + always friendly advice) and Marco (boating instructions) are a great team.
Thank you both for a perfect day with the most stunning views of this remarkable coast.
Excellent experience, one the best things to do around Amalfi coast. Great idea for a couple or family. Francesca was extremely caring and helpful, she even suggested to change the booking dates due to suboptimal weather conditions.
Boat was easy to manipulate even without any experience.
Spend a wonderful day along amalfi coast and capri.
Would highly recommend:)
My wife and me rented the 5,55 m, 40 HP "Marinello - Eden 18" boat from Francesca through SamBoat for on day. It was located in Maiori harbour and for us the perfect location to explore the whole Amalficoast inclusive of Capri in one day!
The boat (one year old) was in immaculate conditions, is very easy to navigate (you don´t need a motorboat license!) has a lot of space for sunbathing, even if you would rent the boat with 6 people! There is a bluetooth radio on board, so you can listen to your own music through spotify i.e. if you want to. There is even a fresh water shower and they provide two snorkel masks, so it is a big fun to have swim stops in the clear blue sea.
The boat rental is from 10 to 5 pm, which is comfortable enough to explore the whole coast (the boat runs appr. 24 knots!), to have a nice 90 minutes lunch stop at Nerano, ship around Capri and some swim stops. Weather was perfect on September 9th, so we had such a wonderful day on the sea. You do not need any guide for the trip! So we appreciated this private trip much more than booking one of the mass group tours that are offered all around the coast.
Fuel consumption was 75 l a. 2,00 € for a whole day mostly driving, so take in account this 150 € extra charge for fuel.
The service and communication through SamBoat was easygoing, secure regarding the payment and the insurance cover, which was included in the price. You will not need to pay 40 € for an extra insurance, that covers the excess, as the deposit is only 200 € and the offered insurance pays only for damages from 200 € onwards.
Even the communication with the owner Francesca was so much welcoming! She answered every question immediately, sent me a video where to park our car directly under the marina for just 2 € per hour and has a nice guy, Marco, who gave us the instructions and to anchor the boat safely after return.
The most comfortable service was that you don´t have to fill up the fuel by yourself, which would have incured significant time lost in you rental.
Marco did it by himself after the return.
To sum up, SamBoat and Francescas Marinello are very reliable and thoroughly recommendable, even to my best friends!
So thanks a lot for this wonderful day.
