We had an amazing day on Nicola's boat! He is incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the very first minute. The boat is great, the tour is fantastic: fun diving and swimming in the most beautiful bays, a visit to the two closeby islands of Taranto and sightseeing the city from water with all the stories and legends of the sea he has to share. A wonderful experience I would definitely recommend if you happen to be in Taranto!!

We’ve rented Nicola’s boat in Aug 2018 for a family outing and fishing. What an amazing trip that was! Nicola was very attentive to all of our requests, made sure we had a great time ( some of us didnt really know how to fish :))) and the boat was very spascious , clean and absolutely new! We catch a quite a few fishes, went for a swim , took beautiful photos and overall had an unforgettable experience! Grazie, Nicola from all of us

Nicola is a very kind person. He made everything easy for us. He told us the history of Taranto, and we walked under the swing bridge. It was a great experience.

We had a great day with Nicola, four adults and four young people on the boat. We arrived and boarded the boat as originally planned, but it was very windy. Nicola kindly offered to postpone the trip until the next day to have a more enjoyable time. We accepted, and it was a good thing we did, as the weather was calmer the next day. Everything was great; the boat is comfortable, and Nicola is great, very kind, and does everything he can to make the day enjoyable. Communication is very clear (with the translator system, very practical), there are no hidden fees, and fishing and swimming are available. Highly recommended! Thank you, Nicola!

We had the pleasure of spending a wonderful day organized for our friend's hen party, on a boat with Nicola as skipper, and we can only highly recommend it! Since the preparations, which we made from Milan, Nicola proved to be extremely reactive and available, promptly responding to all our questions and requests. His friendliness and ability to immediately put us at ease made the experience even more pleasant. Nicola understood our needs perfectly, personalizing the itinerary according to our desires and making us discover wonderful places. He was also honest and transparent in his pricing, with no surprises or hidden costs. His punctuality and professionalism always made us feel in good hands, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the day. Not to be underestimated is the presence of an excellent stereo system with the possibility of connecting from your phone, Nicola even gave us the phone charger, also present for the iPhone, in short, with excellent music, fun is guaranteed!!!!! Toilets and showers were also available which allowed us to continue the evening without having to stop by the house. If you are looking for a trustworthy skipper who knows how to make you have an unforgettable experience at sea, Nicola is the right choice. Definitely an experience to repeat! In short, I can only conclude with a great opinion THANK YOU NICOLA!!!!

I give 4 stars to the communication and not to the reception which has been given 5 stars only because in my opinion the communication is written on the site and oral on the phone regarding the amount to be paid deserves more transparency and simplicity. The fact remains that after spending a few hours with Nicola on the boat, he proved to be not only an experienced captain, but also a kind, reliable person, with extensive knowledge not only of navigation. Pleasant and humorous person in conversation. Thank you so much for a pleasant day. Domenico

Professionalmente lavoro nell'antincendio portuale, praticamente sono sempre in mare sia per lavoro che per hobby, per deformazione professionale per me la sicurezza non è mai troppa, pertanto la mia imbarcazione è equipaggiata con criteri e professionalità diversi dagli standard previsti, vi sono a bordo personalizzazioni e accorgimenti che aumentano la sicurezza di bordo. Navigo da quando ero piccolo in quanto il mio papà ha avuto sempre la barca di proprietà pertanto mi porto questa passione da piccolo. Ormai sono più di 40 anni che conosco i fondali e le zone di interesse per effettuare sia battute di pesca che ricche passeggiate. Nel mio Lavoro sono Istruttore antincendio Navale pertanto metto la mia professionalità da istruttore anche per insegnare e trasmettere a piccoli, ma anche a grandi tutte le esperienze marinaresche e sicurezza. Vi aspetto.
