boat hire in Torre Annunziata · Scar — Next 195 (2020)

Polite and informative. We've got complimentary bottle of prosecco which was very kind. Amazing boat, enough power for me, who was a newbie.

We rented a boat with skipper for the 9th of july to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. The harbour we left from at 12.00 was Torre Annunziatta. Sergio arranged everything and gave us Luigi (25 years old) as a skipper. We were taken to Capri, to the Restaurant Maria Grazia and wanted to see afterwards the Fiord di Furrore. We did not realise that it is too short time in order to get back in time and the skipper did not say anything. After the Fiord, on our way back to Torre Annunziatta our skipper Luigi was driving very very fast and we were almost jumping out of the boat. The situation went really bad, when after one big wave the boat crashed down, so my husband screamed for minutes because of the big pain after falling on his back. Luigi was smiling, we asked for the ambulance to come, because the pain was very strong, we also asked for a bigger boat to come and take us, because the waves got bigger and it was a dangerous situation. Luigi said there is no boat that will come and the only way is to go to the harbour we came from. My husband had to lay down for more than 2 hours on the boat floor because it was the lowest point and the only place where he could be a lilltle safer. He had to stay wet, on the floor because the skipper refused to call help. When we arrived, there were 4 man helping my husband to get out of the boat. My husband was shaking, he was wet, his whole body was in great pain because the Skipper did not adapt the way he was driving, to the weather conditions and put us into real danger. More than that while we were having a bath near Capri, he drank one beer, and while he waited for us at the restaurant he drank another 2 beers. He had 1.5 l of beer and than drove like crazy putting ourselve in severe danger because he was driving to fast and the boat was crushing and throwing us in the air. After an accident like this, you can be paralised for all your life, this is no joke or way to drive and you should not drink and drive. After we arrived in the harbour, they asked us to pay 120€ for the skipper, allthough the price you told me on click and boat was 100€. We also were asked to pay 120€ for the fuel. We did not get any receipt or anything else. Because all of the way the skipper has put ourselves to danger and because instead of having a nice celebration, we ended laying on the floor for almost 3 hours of 9. I repeat, it is not normal to drink and drive and to put the tourists in danger because you hurry to be back in time.

Franchesco was our charter he was really lovely and a great driver. Although he did not speak much English he managed to communicate really well and made our trip lots of fun. We went to Capri and Sorrento and he showed us lots of spots to take photos and swim. Sergio organised it all and is great too. Great experience.
