Our day on the water with Alessandro at the helm was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped aboard his beautifully maintained boat in Genoa, Alessandro’s warm welcome and easygoing personality set the tone for the day. His deep knowledge of the Ligurian coast made the journey as enriching as it was relaxing, pointing out hidden coves, historic landmarks, and the best photo spots along the way. The boat itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a day of cruising—everything from seating to amenities was thoughtfully arranged to ensure everyone’s comfort. As we sailed toward Portofino, Alessandro’s skill as a captain shone through, effortlessly navigating the waters while allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. He balanced giving us space to soak up the sun with moments of friendly conversation, sharing local stories and recommendations that added a personal touch to the trip. Dropping anchor in crystal-clear waters for a swim before arriving in Portofino was a highlight, and his recommendations for lunch in the charming port town were spot-on. It was the perfect blend of adventure, leisure, and local flavor—thanks to both Alessandro’s professionalism and the charm of his beautiful boat.

Sorrento is a beautiful base to visit capri and the Amalfi coast. We docked in positano and had a lovely time before returning to Sorrento which is a lot more lively than the other destinations.

Very beautiful island with pretty towns. We even found a local park with animals and old fortress on the northern side of the island.

We really enjoyed our boat hire. Communication from Alessio and his team was excellent, the boat was very comfortable, and the scenery along the cost just stunning. Fuel cost was EUR80 payable at end of hire and had to be paid in cash - lucky we had some with us!

Virgilio and his crew are top notch along with the boat we rented. The boat worked as it should and was very comfortable. Virgilio even made a reservation for us at a boat access only restaurant. 10/10 would recommend
