boat hire in La Spezia · Blu & Blu — Futurama (2023)

Great communication and very helpful

Everything went super easy. Communication was always in time. The boat is exactly like described and in a very good shape. Valentina and Lorenzo had been super nice and helpful. We would love to book it again!

War alles top!

Absolutely fantastic service and instructions from this company. Would highly recommend

We booked for 5 adults and 2 babies. Not kids. Babies. When we came to the port, Valentina greeted us and let us know that the boat is not enough for 7 persons. She made us rent a second boat (a blue tiny boat) with an extra cost otherwise we would miss our money. She accused me I never replied to her messages, although she had sent only one message 14 hours ago and I had replied within 6 hours. We waited 1.5 hour under the sun in August to find lifejackets and prepare the boats (36 degrees Celsius). She insisted on wearing the life jackets to both babies while she was explaining the procedure. NOTE: we were OUTSIDE of the boat. When we told her, that please let them be without life jackets and as soon as we step into the boat, they will wear them for the whole trip. Her answer was: no, they need to wear them from now to get used to them. So we had 2 babies, crying at the top of their lungs for 1 hour under the sun of August. It was the worst experience in Italy. Boats were really dirty and when we told them so they replied “we don’t know we will have babies”. So if we didn’t have babies, it would be ok to have a dirty boat? Our boat (that she made us rent extra) had no ankor because previous guests lost it. So we were also waiting to go and buy a new ankor. She gave as the new ankor in a bag of the supermarket and she told us to put it by ourselves. If we don’t tie it correctly and we loose it, we pay 100€ fine. As a result, we couldn’t stop anywhere in 7 hours sailing as were afraid to take the responsibility and establish a new ankor. Both boats, had nothing from equipment. I live in Santorini and we have dozens of “rent by yourselves” boat companies. I have driven many times. All of them have a basic equipment, like GPS and this thing to show you the depth of the water. Her boats had NOTHING. When we asked her how to know how deep or shallow the water is, she said “you will see by the eye”. Unbelievable. She only gave us a piece of paper map, of places to avoid. Without GPS on the boat, how we were supposed to know where we are? (No signal on the phone in the sea most of the times). To sum up, there are many companies in Mirabello port. All of them, had better boats and we saw many of them (same type) to host 5-7 persons on board (adults). If I were you, I would avoid Valentina and her boats.

We had a very nice day on the boat and everything was perfect, the boat was very good and the communication from Valentina excellent.

We were in Italy for one month and the day we spent out on Valentina’s boat was a true highlight of our trip! She provided great tips of where to go and what to see. I have friends who are in La Spezia now and I am 100% referring them to Valentina!!! Such a great value for the money and SO fun!

Great! Huge thanks to Valentina and Lorenzo. Maximum professionalism!

Valentina was great! She was informative, kind, and responsive! When I come back I will 100% rent again. The boat handled great also which is a huge plus.

Very responsive and helpful. I received the boat, instructions contract, etc.. in 30 min from the time I accepted the offer. Overall great experience and very helpful team.

Valentina's communication was excellent. No issues with the hiring & returning process, all very fair. The boat is in good condition, showing a little age, but it operated without concern.

Valentina was very flexible for the timing and clear in her explanations. Lorenz was very helpful too. The boat was compliant with the description in the announcement. So bad that we cannot use it in the Cinque Terre, however there is still a lot to see around La Spezia :)

Brilliant experience and a great boat. Valentina and Lorenzo were so helpful too and the price was very good too. Great location also, thanks very much!!

Valentina was awesome and accommodating even though we were indisivisive. She gave us all the best spots to stop at and the boat was in great condition. The value was incredible.

Valentina is a wonderful host, very friendly and great communication. The boat itself is perfect for a day on the water and especially without experience isn’t complicated to drive. Loved it

Uncomplicated and amazing experience! Host was promptly waiting at the port to explain and sign over the documents.

Valentina was amazing! Great communication from start to finish. Her boat was in great condition and she showed us all the best spots to visit. It was the best day!

Valentina is a responsive host. Got in touch quickly, accompanied with instructions and advice. The boat could not sail in Cinque Terre. The boat itself is a bit old but everything worked. No usb. Would not recommend for more than 4 people. The boat is heavy, did not glide. But the impressions are great.

Nice host, boat was nice for the value

Very good experience. Easy and flexible rental. The boat was just What we wantwd for 4 people and Valentina was very helpful.

Beautiful boat, great price and very accommodating and understanding when our travel issues caused us to be late.

Owner was very helpful. We had a beautiful day on the water and the boat was in perfect condition

Very good communication, very friendly welcome when we took over the boat. The shower wasn't working, no problem. The ad didn't mention that the Cinque Terre are not visible from the sea with this rental.

Perfect, easy exchange with the owner and clear instructions from the boat man. Super nice, he advised us on discovery routes. Easy boat to drive even for beginners. And the open sea experience. Definitely worth the detour, breathtaking scenery. Sublime experience. We had 3 children who loved it, 6 years old / 9 years old and 18 years old. Thanks to Valentina and the maintenance man. Ps: Remember to refuel the boat at the port at the end of the trip

A very warm welcome from Alessandro Great explanation of the sailing possibilities on the water

Very nice boat

Everything went great, and the boat was also very suitable. Unfortunately, the freshwater shower was broken, so you couldn't rinse yourself off after swimming, but that was all. The rest went really well, including the briefing and information about the area, even for a rental without any boating experience.

Everything great!

Everything perfect!

Everything perfect! Both the owner and her husband are kind, helpful and patient. Mr. Alessandro, the person who delivers the boat, is a nice, kind and patient person. In addition to instructions, he gives advice on places to go. I highly recommend renting.

It was great!

Everything was great, great instructions and nice landlords!

very good

Many thanks to Tommaso for the smooth transaction!

Everything was great, would definitely come again!

Valentina (and Tomaso) were perfect contacts. Very courteous and helpful. Their explanations of the area were excellent. All in all, a perfect charter. Thank you very much... :-)

Very nice communication. Very well helped by Valentina!

We enjoyed our boat trip. Everything went fine!

Valentina was very helpful, friendly, the boat handover was as you would wish, much better than a competitor we had rented from before, highly recommended LG Ursula & Werner

Very good times spent on board with family. 4 people is perfect ?. Thanks again

Very friendly lady. Mobile numbers were immediately exchanged for smooth communication the day before and the day itself. Extensive explanation and nice tips to visit even after the boat trip!

Everything great

Very good day on the boat, Valentina is friendly and gives us confidence. It was perfect ! Thanks to her!

Everything was perfect, thank you very much!!!

Communication prompt and good. On-site support was very nice. Boat has stiff steering, fuel gauge doesn't work properly, boat overall is a bit old. Overall, nice day at sea.

We were very satisfied. Valentina is very nice and explained everything to us very well, including where we could go. The boat is very easy to steer and drives great, you can make quick progress at full speed. The area is beautiful for swimming and the deck is great for sunbathing. I can highly recommend her. Thank you.

Great experience!

Hi, a bit dated but efficient boat. The real problem lies in the engine which consumes a lot of petrol without providing adequate performance, together with the 30-litre tank (according to the owner) which did not guarantee the execution of the tour they recommended to us, so much so that we had to refuel in order not to stay in the middle of the sea. An accomplice to this situation is also a fuel light that is not in excellent condition. Apart from this problem, a pleasant experience and a boat with large cushions and two sundecks.

We were generally disappointed with the boat, which seemed older than in the photos. The engine is restricted so not very optimum for 40 horsepower. Unfortunately, we had a lingering smell of gasoline which really ruined our trip. In addition, the arrival was complicated with a nice proposal to get us into the private car park for an exchange of 10 euros in cash afterwards.

A bit old boat but everything works apart from the missing comforts such as radio and charger

Boat and owner at the top ?. We had a great day despite rough seas this morning. Great family time. Thank you very much ☺️

Top boat super landlord, everything tip top!

Top landlord! Everything went smoothly.

Great experience I highly recommend. Everything was well explained before setting sail so we had a great day!!

A big thank you to the owner of the boat for his welcome, his kindness and his sympathy.

Highly recommended for a day trip. Good tips and nice and problematic communication

A boat of excellence like its description, indeed much more. I had a super welcome and a lot of availability, professionalism from Valentina and Lorenzo. An experience that I will certainly repeat, since it was at the top.
