Overall rating
had an amazing experience with Vittorio as our skipper. He was incredibly professional, attentive and a very safe driver. Vittorio took the time to show us many beautiful places and shared the history behind them, which made the trip even more special. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind, even taking photos for us throughout the day. A true gentleman. We would happily come back and rent a boat with him again!
Experience was worth it 🙏🏽
Serious scam. One of worst experiences i have ever had with boat rental company's. They promised in the advitersiment we could rent a SUP ( first lie). Communication while on boarding was non existing, and had only one purpose, to block a sort of deposit/ pre authorisation on my creditcard. Next: the boat wasn't fully fuelled at the departure and had a oil warning. Again no communication. At the end - they charged us 90 euro for being late, while there was a giant queue At the fuel station, which is a little bit ironic ( thinking we were fuelling to be correct ). Perfect scam, do not cope with this people. First class rippers...
Staff very welcoming and easy of access. Less equipment available than stated on the ad or the pictures, even the paid options. For example there is no towable tubes or gps/map. Few very shallow water in the area, be carefully there.
What a great day we had! The communication a day before our booking was just excellent, they sent us the location and even what the desk looked like to make sure we knew where we were going. Parking is a breeze, super easy. Beautiful area, even has a supermarket. We had to get a last minute skipper, they were so lovely about it and accommodated us so well. Skipper arrived within an hour. Our skipper did not speak English but we had the best time with him, he was friendly and took us to a great spot. Jen & Sophie X
We had a great day on the water and the boat was exactly as shown in the photos (clean, well-maintained, and in good condition). It’s a small boat, and the weather conditions that day included strong winds and high waves, which made the ride quite rough at times, especially at higher speeds. Unfortunately, we caused significant damage to the boat and weren’t insured. That was a hard and expensive lesson. Therefore we would strongly recommend either getting insurance or renting the boat with a captain if you’re not very experienced. Communication with Virginia was smooth and clear via WhatsApp. She was friendly, quick to respond, and helpful throughout the process. When we arrived, there was no obvious desk so we couldn’t find it directly but luckily we found her. Despite the incident, we really enjoyed the day. Virginia gave us great route suggestions, and we were able to explore some beautiful spots. Thank you for the experience.
We had an awesome day on this boat. Really clean and it was a lot faster than expected so we we able to see a lot more. Communication was excellent. The price for the day was so cheap compared with other places we have hired boats. Definitely recommend. Go Bombers!
Everything was great! Virginia was very flexible when it came to the date because of the weather and we appreciated it! Thanks! Till next tim3
Virginia does not answer calls or any questions. The donut was a lie and we lost 1 hour looking for the meet point which is not instructed in the offer. Tank outside in another port cause they trick you and it will be very expensive. Not to recommend.

Boat was in great condition and the service was amazing. This made for a great day on the water and an amazing experience in Sardinia.
Great rental experience. Thoroughly enjoyed with clear communication. Some points to note: - Their bluetooth speakers weren’t working despite me asking for one two days beforehand so just be aware of this. - Also, they don’t tell you the price of the boat fuel beforehand either. To settle up, they ask for you to take a picture of the fuel gauge at the end of the rental. It’s worth noting that they then estimate the usage and apply a fixed cost (ie we used 1/8th of a Kardis boat tank and this cost €38). It was all a bit of a mystery and it would have been nicer to know what the fuels costs were before riding as we could then decide how far to go! Overall a great experience and would recommend.
When we booked the boat we chose the option with a skipper and it showed no additional cost. After booking and paying and just double checking regarding the skipper with the agency through WhatsApp , we received a message that skipper was not included and moreover it was coming at an additional cost of 150 EUR that was not a pleasant surprise. After discussing with the agency and showing them the screenshots proving skipper included in the price at the reservation they still refused to cancel the reservation. So we ended up spending the time on the boat , that was overall really nice. But all the booking process was really not pleasant and stressful. We felt a bit scammed and powerless to prove our point.
The boat and staff was all perfect. Facilities should be revised, toilet and shower after a full day boat ride was hard to get ! Thank you Virginia and Dream Boat team !
We hd a great day on the boat. The whole process was very easy and quick. The boat was very comfortable and easy to navigate. Definitely recommend it!!
Lovely boat and great day out but took a while for virginia to let us know where to check in was after messaging several times. Also the fuel prices are not transparent at all and very expensive as they calculate it themselves - took the same boat out in Cala gonone, refulled ourselves for eur 70 and got charged eur 140 here for a similar amount of driving. Something didn’t feel right and didn’t make sense with the prices they charged and we felt like we got ripped off with no way to check.
The best affordable Rental boat services furnished by Virginia and Francesco. Definitely we gonna use them services again to discover the Sardinia paradise unreachable by car!!! Thanks to give us such a great experiences!!!
Terrible advice from the company regarding rental requirements and whether or not a Spanish license was accepted. They were inflexible in resolving issues arising from their poor information, which forced us to switch to a lower model, although without lowering the price. The boat was almost new and in average condition, with water entering where it shouldn't have, wetting personal belongings. The boat didn't have the requested equipment, causing delays in delivery that weren't resolved by them, but by another company at the port. I don't recommend it at all. I'm also not satisfied with the management of Click&Boat; they did nothing to help.
Everything went very well, the boat was compliant and very well equipped. Good value for money.
The dinghy was as described and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.
We recommend this agency! Excellent communication with the hostess; she responded quickly to messages and guided us to the agency without any problems. All the explanations regarding the rental and the surrounding spots, depending on the day's weather, were clear. However, we had some communication difficulties due to the language barrier (even in English) with the person explaining how the boat works. Likewise, the information provided was very brief. We didn't receive any explanations on how to drive or moor a boat (this can be complicated for a first-timer). Otherwise, everything was great, thank you!
Very nice experience that allows you to see enchanting places and enjoy an alternative day. The only thing I would like to point out is that in addition to the amount you see here on the app, relating to the daily rental, there is a mandatory insurance of €90 not included in the rental amount in order to deposit only €500 as a deposit, otherwise it becomes €1000 but in case of damages you may be asked for more, maybe it would be better to know this clearly in advance (maybe there would have been more convenient rentals) For the rest, the service is excellent. Small advice for the rental company: it would have been useful to have a map of the coves and beaches not to be missed and warnings for non-navigable areas etc. as I have been able to see in other rentals on other holidays. Anyway recommended!
Everything excellent
Very neat all. Good help and explanation. Definitely recommended!
We booked the Kardix and the truth is that it left us with a lot to be desired... without power steering and without gas it would stall at any moment, which bothered us quite a bit. The service was very good and the anchoring coves, both islands and archipelago, make you forget everything mentioned above!!
Everything perfect ?
My experience with this boat rental company was extremely disappointing. The boat was generally in good condition and the staff on site (Virginia + boat boy) were friendly at first. However, we were not given sufficient instructions. Virginia knew that none of us had driven a boat before and this was handled very carelessly. The boat boy did show us how to start the engine or turn the boat, but how to operate the boat in tricky situations (e.g. strong waves or wind) was not discussed. The fact that the boat also has 40 HP and is driven by novice drivers on the open sea was irrelevant. There was also not enough information about which places you might not want to go to. Our destination was the Maddalena Islands. Firstly, it took a very long time to get there (2.5 hours). Secondly, the seabed there is very rocky. With waves and wind, it is very easy to get stuck there (which unfortunately happened to us). I wish we had been warned in advance about what it would mean to go there in this weather. Neither Virginia nor the boat boy complied with this obligation to inform. The company also tried to rip off customers and attach damage that was not caused by the drivers. This approach is unacceptable and shows a lack of professionalism and honesty. Take enough good quality photos of the entire boat, especially the propeller! Last but not least, we had to pay 180 euros because a rope got caught on the propeller in the open sea and we had to call for help. It is shocking that such assistance (20 minutes drive there, cut the rope, 20 minutes drive back) is so expensive and this is not mentioned in any way in the contracts. It was our own fault, which the customer must pay for accordingly. The contract does not indicate that such assistance is extra, nor how high it can be. In the end, according to the receipt, we paid 180 euros for the "extra" item - highly unprofessional. When we tried to find a solution with Virginia that would satisfy both parties, we were turned away with "I don't have time for that". All in all, this was a disappointing experience in which the safety and well-being of the customers was treated negligently. I therefore cannot recommend this boat rental company at all.
We booked the boat the day before and received a message late the evening before saying that the boat was not available. We were offered a smaller one for the same price + a free stand up puddle to borrow. When we arrived our boat was not ready. They had to clean it first, we couldn't leave until an hour later. There were no toilets on the jetty. We got the cool box without a lid because it was broken from the previous guests. The throttle on the boat didn't work properly either, the sun deck was also broken, and the anchor was unusable in the sand. The staff at the boat station were also very unfriendly and couldn't speak any English. We were disappointed with the company.
Super! Nice boat, good communication
We had a great day, we were able to discover the small surrounding islands allowing us to swim in crystal clear waters and had the chance to see dolphins.
Excellent service, pleasant boat to sail and helpful
Everything went well. Price-performance ratio is right. Gladly again.
Top service very serious
Everything as indicated on the site, a nice dinghy, clean and like new. Kind, friendly, punctual and professional welcome. The only note (not attributable to the rental), nautical petrol is incredibly expensive today :)
Excellent experience to be repeated.
Very comfortable in 5 and good fuel consumption, small awning, engine to go around the nearby beaches
Super good everything Virginia a charm !!!
Very good reception and top location of the marina… I recommend this boat rental! ?
Everything went very well, from the reservation to the return of the boat. Thanks to Virginia for her welcome and her advice and to her team for helping to get the boat under control. If the boat had had a gps or if a nautical chart and a compass had been provided it would have been perfect to navigate without going along the coast because google maps has its limits...
Everything was perfect ! We were very well received by Virginia and her team, thank you for the advice! The boat is new, very well equipped and easy to handle. We had an amazing day! To recommend without hesitation !
Excellent service, professionals in everything from check-in to check-out .. new and super-equipped inflatable boats! Highly recommended ??
Good experience.
Nos engañaron! No we inform you that you will arrive 40 minutes later by having them notified and due to the sea conditions they will raise a 110€ extra cost that we "hizo" a 60€ rebate but we ask and we say that we will not cobra' him because we will lie engañaron con la gasolina, we said that we had gastado much more gasolina from which we consume and finally we said that the price of gasolina in the marina was 2'50€/l when you lie, in the site most dear seafarer is at 2,10€ we advise you that you ask very well in all conditions and that you need the photo of the gasolina level so that you do not engage us and if it is possible to repost the boat before embarking it, she does not go to ask for this offer option because this is the way she engages and stuffs. Unos sinvergüenzas. Llegamos tarde porque el mar cambio y hubo muchisimas olas y avisamos aún así no fueron personas .................................................... .................................................... .................................................... .................................................... ......................REPLY FROM VIRGINIA: We would like to clarify that despite your delay of more than 45 minutes, no penalty has been charged to you, even if the contract provides for it. Our boats are all equipped with satellite trackers and that day in the area where you were we had 2 other boats (like yours) which arrived punctually at 18:00 in the port, so the rough sea excuse doesn't hold up. It would have been better to notify with a phone call or message that you would like to do an extra hour, kindly asking if there was a difference to pay. As for fuel, if you go to the ground service station, the fuel served at the pump is €2.30 / L, you have chosen to sail throughout the archipelago of La Maddalena where, obviously, the more hours of navigation, the more rooms the consumption. If you would have refueled the boat before returning it would have been much better for us, to do this you had to be at the tank by 5pm or even earlier to queue and be 6pm in port. You made yourself 2 extra hours without paying anything and we also find such a review!
It would have been more than desirable to have been clarified that additional insurance only applies to Scjäden from €700 and that one is also liable for Schädeb. So we are now left with a €700 bill.
Very pleasant welcome by Virginia. Everything is clear and well organized and the boat is very recent and in perfect condition. I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the 40hp engine, it is more than enough for cruising, even in the waves and the wind offshore. Fuel consumption is correct. The car can be parked for free right next to the pier. I will gladly return to Virginia for a new rental. Michael
Congratulations to the company, really friendly and precise. The boat was new and we were really happy with it. After various searches that have not led to any results, we have found them, also operational this season. We will come back for sure. See you soon!!
