This was the best excursion! We had an amazing tour of the island. The Captain & crew were great, attentive & knowledgeable. The food was delicious & the drinks kept coming. If we’re ever back in Ischia, I would definitely book this again! Honestly, it was the highlight of our trip! Everything was amazing & I had a smile on my face all day.

    A really fun day! Fabio and his family were super welcoming. The bruschetta, pasta, and dessert were all fabulous. We made multiple swimming stops and even went into a beautiful cave with blue water. Prosecco, wine and water were available. Fabio and his son Christian told us about the different spots around the island. I would recommend this tour. A great value for the money.

    Canceled last minute on us

    Matt_H, Oct 2025
    The captain cancelled on us at 11pm (23:00) just 9 hours before the trip. Too late for us to find another boat for the day. Not weather related, I suspect there were not enough people signed up but you need to cancel at least a full day in advance so we have time to find other options.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    The company always decides before each tour, based on weather updates, whether to operate or cancel. You, the reviewer and prospective traveler, forget to mention that starting at 11:00 a.m. today, October 1st, a southwesterly disturbance brought heavy rain and strong winds. You are truly unreliable and have no sense of responsibility, which is exactly what we have. You personally should have been grateful for being warned of the unsuitable day, instead of crying like a child who can't get candy. Your review is truly disgusting.

    Book it, you won’t regret it!

    Italian Party Boat

    StephanieMarie_G, Sep 2025
    I've done many boat tours but this one perhaps has had the best energy! The crew did a great job at creating a party atmosphere the entire day and ensuring everyone was taken care of. The meal was very simple, authentic Italian but absolutely delicious, with white wine flowing all day long. My only two complaints would be that there weren't any swim noodles, only life jackets that can be uncomfortable to use, and the upper deck has formal seating and no real area to sunbathe for those who perhaps wanted a break from the party in the lower deck. The stairs to navigate the decks are also narrow so I'd be cautious for those who are elderly or have vision/mobility limitations.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Stephanie, I've carefully read your review and I must say I'm disappointed by your statements, dictated by the incompetence of those who sail. But I'm happy to address your inaccuracies: 1- Our boats both have upper decks equipped with sofas and poufs, relaxation areas that would rival even the most luxurious vessels. However, for those who don't want to be sheltered from the scorching sun, there's always the solarium area, which you evidently missed because you were busy drinking wine. 2- Anyone with health problems related to mobility is advised not to participate in the tour, and we don't need your inappropriate clarification on this. It's a different story for those who drink heavily and lose their balance on our comfortable stairs, like you did. 3- Our lunches are prepared by excellent chefs that would rival the best restaurants, and we take great care to provide all high-quality products. But evidently you were too drunk to notice, and you turned a sumptuous lunch into a simple one. Enjoy your life.

    Incredible hospitality

    Chris_M, Aug 2025
    A truly incredible experience. The best way to see the island of Ischia with lots of time to swim in beautiful places. Absolutely unmatched hospitality.

    Fun in the sun

    Annie_H, Jul 2025
    It was a lovely day. The crew is friendly and sweet. Snorkeling was disappointing, if you’re used to reefs and rich marine life. More just swimming stops. The cruise is more of a party cruise - not much in terms of the area, points of interest or the history. A bit more of a “booze cruise”. Food was very basic but pleasant.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Dear Annie, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I don't know if you live in close proximity to the coral reef, but for us, the enchanting landscapes offered by our islands of Ischia and Procida are enough, with their rich history and points of interest, all of which are described throughout the trip in three languages: Italian, English, and German. Having said that, "simple food," we obviously focus on the freshness of the products without any particular artificiality, and those like you who choose to eat ”scialatielli” (typical Neapolitan pasta) with fresh tomatoes as an alternative to the fish-based lunch, from what travelers write, are very happy. The only thing I have to object to, and I disagree with your statement "tour to drink": I can't agree with that. Drinks are included, and some people prefer a glass of wine or water, but don't make our experience seem like those who have to get drunk to end the day; that's definitely not us. In the future, you may try other experiences elsewhere, but you will never find the warmth of a welcoming family like ours. Best regards, Fabio

    Best day on the water!

    Karen_I, Jul 2025
    Absolutely amazing day from start to finish. The whole experience was exceptional - swimming, dining, lovely staff! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip.

    Great family fun with wonderful hosts in a family run business by locals

    Jason_C, Jul 2025
    it was wonderful. It was my mother’s 80th birthday and I advised them ahead of time and they had a birthday cake for her. The chef is the wife and she makes everything from scratch including the lemonchello and melonchello The skippers are the sons. The whole experience is great.

    We thought we’d been on great boat trips before—until we met this crew! Ischia’s coastline was gorgeous, the water was so clear we felt bad for not being fish, and the swim under Castello Aragonese? Epic. The food was delicious, and the crew? Absolute legends. By the end, it felt like a family reunion—except we actually liked everyone! If you're looking for fun, sun, and some serious good vibes, this is the one. These guys really know how to do it right! Without a doubt, they’re the best!

    We went with our kiddos who are 11 and 9 along with friends who also had a 9 yr old. SO much fun! The boat took us around the entire island, we stopped at several places to swim. Bruschetta, prosecco, pasta, vino and even cake was served. All delicious. Music was great- even the captain came out to dance! Highly recommend! Was the highlight of our trip.

    A highlight of our trip!

    Caroline_S, May 2025
    We had such a fun time on our boat day with Fabio and his family. They were so fun, welcoming, polite, and really made this such a highlight. We had a delicious lunch on board, accompanied by wine. They learned my husband and I were there on our honeymoon and did a celebration on board for us, having us cut the cake for the dessert- it was super cute and thoughtful. We enjoyed the swimming spots and the views. Such a fun day!

    Delightful boat trip around the island with interesting history commentary, there are were a number of stops all a little different. The green groto was a real highlight. The food and wine that was served was tasty traditional ischia cuisine and was presented well and tasted great. It was a fantastic day and thanks to Simione our guide and the team for making it a great day.

    Cancelled after we got to the meetup spot

    Regina_C, Nov 2024
    I don’t really have a review for the actual activity as it was cancelled without prior notification. I’m reviewing based on the cancellation we experienced for this activity. On the day of the tour, we contacted the tour operator before leaving our hotel but didn’t get any responses. When we got to the meetup spot, that’s the only time they responded but to our dismay, they said it’s cancelled. No reasons were given, only that it’s cancelled and that they are sorry for the inconvenience. They refunded the tour fee right away though. We were so confused, but we didn’t argue further so as not to spoil the rest of our day. I’m sure the tour’s really fun, but i hope they take it upon themselves to notify us in advance for tour cancellations like this so we can plan ahead for something else on our day.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    I am sorry for your misadventure, but I do not think your review is right and correct. In reservations for tours and experiences subject to weather conditions, the telephone number must always be available (sms, whatsapp). Your number was turned off until the morning of the tour (perhaps because you did not find the meeting point easily as reported on the detailed tour map) so much so that you notified your hotel. I repeat, I am sorry for your misadventure, but your negative review, even if contrary to reality, will not give you the lost day of the tour for not having turned on the phone or activated the number. I recommend you do so in the future, in the meantime if you find yourself in Ischia again, contact us via whatsapp. Mi dispiace per la vostra disavventura, ma non credo sia giusto e corretta la vostra recensione. Nelle prenotazioni per tour ed esperienze soggetti a condimeteo, il numero di telefono deve essere sempre reperibile(sms, whatsapp). Il vostro numero è stato spento fino alla mattina del tour (forse perché non avete trovato il punto di incontro facilmente come riporta la mappa dettagliatamente del tour) tanto da avvisare il vostro hotel. Ripeto, mi dispiace per la vostra disavventura, ma la vostra recensione negativa, anche se contrario alla realtà, non vi darà la giornata persa del tour per non avere acceso il telefono o attivato il numero. Vi consiglio di farlo in futuro, nel frattempo se vi troverete ad Ischia nuovamente, contattateci via whatsapp.

    This boat trip was the highlight of our month in Italy. It was so fun to get to cruise around and see all the beauty of ischia, chat with people from all over, eat INCREDIBLE food, drink wine, and enjoy the hospitality of the whole family. Also, I’m shocked with the value for this. We loved every minute of it-highly recommend!

    An exceptional tour & a trip highlight

    Natalie_A, Sep 2024
    I had such a fantastic time on this tour! I have done boat tours before, which are fun, but what elevated the experience beyond my expectations was the Italian family running the tour. Their level of care, attentiveness, and infectious sense of fun - not to mention a three course meal and dessert cooked fresh on board 🤩 - made this scenically gorgeous tour a highlight of my trip. Swimming in the crystalline water was just the icing on the cake… er, tiramisu 😉. Grazie mille 🙏 to the whole crew!

    Amazing boat trip around Ischia! A++++

    Alison_A, Aug 2024
    Such a fabulous day! Fabio and his family welcomed us on board their boat and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful food prepared on board together with plenty of wine/prosecco made sure that everyone had a fun time. Four stops to swim and information in English (delivered by the brothers) about the island as we went round. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough.
