We were in a group of 8 led by our wonderful guide Dario! He did the tour in English and Italian. We had a beautiful day on the water, seeing beautiful sights, learning a bit of history of the area and also enjoying a swim and some food and Prosecco. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We loved this tour ! We saw the beautiful natural rugged coastline of Calabria and swam three times in the water -delicious snack and prosecco ! Our guide was so sweet and allowed our 2 yr old to join us on the boat ride also. They supplied life jackets to anyone who needed or wanted.

Incredible experience. The clearness of the water is something you must see. It was fun, our driver was knowledgeable and safe and our snacks were yummy.

Dario & Sophia were excellent drivers & guides! Such a stunningly beautiful boat ride! The water was too cold for us to swim, but it is so crystal clear. The coastline is so beautiful. Definitely book this 3 hour outing!

Swimming in the sea! The whole experience was fantastic. We would go again! Kevin was a fantastic guide.

This was a fabulous experience and our Captain Gerardo made it even more spectacular. His knowledge of the area and his hospitality was first class. He made the 10 of us feel like family. Do not hesitate to take this tour. The views are breathtaking. Three stops for swimming in the bluest water I have ever seen. Our apertivo and Prosecco was the icing on the cake. I’m so glad we did this small intimate tour instead of the larger one. Memories to last a lifetime.

An excellent well organized tour, with a small group around 12 people, amazing coastal tour with swimming 🏊♂️ opportunities in some spots not accessible by land, great crew, good music and authentic Italian 🇮🇹 snack with glass of Procesco 🍾🥂🧀👍
Matthew_C, Aug 2024
A great 3 hours spent on the water with Geraldo! Well worth the small amount it costs for the beautiful sites and unforgettable moments. He made sure to translate everything to English for us and we enjoyed ourselves throughout!
Daniel_C, Jul 2024
Great time all together. Try professional and on time. Would recommend if you don’t like big groups.

Very nice trip in the boat, saw beautiful nature plus historical explanation.
Loved to swim in the sea.
It has been a fantastic experience , highly recommended!

The tour by Kevin truly made our holiday.
We went out in April so expected it to be cold, I still went in the sea however as it’s still warmer than British beaches!
You don’t have to be a strong swimmer to swim and see the fish. I definitely am not but I enjoyed it none the less! If anything I wish I went back in the sea later on. If anything it makes me want to come back in the warmer months to go again.
Kevin was a great tour guide, telling us stories of Calabria history. He was also very accommodating.
The lunch provided was perfect, delicious meats and cheese. The views during the tour were beautiful also, the sea was truly magical. Crystal clear blue 🐠🐟
Thank you for a wonderful experience during our Tropea holiday 🙏🏻❤️

The cruise was excellent, and we enjoyed our Skipper, he was wonderful.
He brought us to many beautiful areas and the views along with the color of the sea were amazing.
Thiago_Q, Sep 2023
The ride is very pleasant, with stunning and breathtaking views of the Tropea bay and surroundings. A few stops for a refreshing dive were also part of the tour. Guide is also very knowledgeable and taught us the history of the sites we passed by. I am giving 4 stars just because of the appetizers, they were advertised as “very abundant choices” but this was not the case. Apart from that, the tour is very recommended!
Luisa_M, Aug 2023
When the beaches are crowded there’s nothing better than jumping off a boat into the beautiful clear waters instead ! We stopped 3x for a swim. Lovely views of Tropea from the sea. We were the only English speaking couple (out of 8) and our friendly guide Dario made a point of explaining things in Italian and then in English for us.
Joseph_R, Aug 2023
I cant begin to say enough about Marlove and our guide Gerardo. The tour was absolutely amazing, my parents who were born in Calabria have never done such a fun boat tour. Gerardo was funny, informative and explained things to us in both English and Italian. We were served Calabrian goodies and Prosecco. If you are looking to see Tropea and swim in the amazing blue ocean this tour is for you!!!
Cline_L, Jun 2023
Everything was perfect, the tour guide, the antipasti calabrese and the scene. The temperature was good and i had the pleasure to do snorkeling. The fish are beautiful in Capo Vaticano.
meredith_s, Jun 2022
Beautiful scenery. We stopped for a swim at 3 different places! No snorkel equipment provided, which I could have sworn was supposed to be! But the trip was still overwhelminglygorgeous and relaxing! Kudos to the boat crew who were friendly and gracious
Carola_K, Oct 2025
Really great what the nice helpful guy showed us. Caves, snorkeling, he explained a lot there were snacks, sparkling wine etc. that around 40€. Unfortunately, a bad thunderstorm hit us and we had to cancel earlier for safety reasons and return to the port.
The return trip was also a special fun 🤩 🌊 🚤 ⛈️.
The nice man/guy wanted to refund us the money. Me and my girlfriend told him to please keep this, we didn't get that much on expensive trips.
THANK YOU 🙏 to the nice Geit ( unfortunately didn't remember the name ) he does his thing really great he could easily charge more for this trip.
Can recommend it to me 👍
Thank you
