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.

This was a great excursion and shouldn't be missed! It was a beautiful cruise around the island with several stops to swim and a delicious lunch on board. Our hosts were super fun and had us all laughing and enjoying the entire group that was on board! We even celebrated a young couples marriage on board with wine and cake!

From the first meeting in the parking lot until we left the boat I felt like I was with family, a family I truly enjoyed. I like supporting a local family that works hard and plays hard. We had a party of 13 with a birthday celebration and it was my favorite day on the island.
This family went above and beyond to make it a personal, safe and wonderful experience! Our tour took us all around the island with many stops to jump in the beautiful water. We learned some local knowledge, ate delicious food and had so much fun. Two in our group were seasick and the crew did everything they could to help them. Safety was number one, especially when everyone was in the water. Captain Fabio and Christian had eyes on us at all times while the mom and other son were busy cooking a fresh island meal. The food was incredible! Every bite was delicious and a perfect meal for a boat day, right down to homemade cakes! A lot of love went into this excursion to make it one of the best that I have ever been on. We laughed so much within our group along with the crew. Book the tour, eat the cake and it will be one of your best adventures ever!

Adrian and crew were excellent hosts! The lunch was delicious, drinks were served freely, there was plenty of time to jump in the water/swim, and everyone on board was friendly. Of course, the views of Ischia and Procida from the water were amazing as well. We definitely recommend this boat tour.

This was the second time we took a tour around Ischia with Fabio and his wonderful family. Once again, we enjoyed a truly unique experience at sea. Due to different weather conditions, the swimming stops were at different locations this time, but each one was carefully chosen to ensure we enjoyed every swim to the fullest.
What remained unchanged was the family’s generosity and unparalleled care. Their friendliness, sense of humor, infectious enthusiasm, thoughtful commentary throughout the tour, and the delicious food and drinks they kept offering us made this trip just as unforgettable as the first. They are, without a doubt, the very best!

This was a phenomenal day! The family were so kind and accommodating. They clearly love what they do and made everyone comfortable. The directions to get to the marina were clear, they reached out ahead of time to check in, and when we got there it was so relaxing. It was a chill day as we gradually circled Ischia. Had a few stops to jump into the water and swim. Lunch was delicious and they served us meloncello that was sooo good. This was the highlight of our trip to Italy 10/10

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.
Shelby_M, Sep 2025
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
