boat hire in Sorrento · Karel — Ithaca 550 (2022)

Great service, communication was very easy! The best experience

Great boat hire. The guys were amazing

Had the best time with our kind skipper Vincenzo who made us feel very welcome from the first moment, and took us to beautiful Capri! He took us to all different kinds of grottos around the Island and let us stop for a swim at any time we wanted. Good communication and very kind and cooperative staff. 10/10 experience!

Everything as described. Open communication, easy handover, tutto bene. Grazie ragazzi

Gennaro Turci was amazing host!! Very good with communication! We had a beautiful experience cruising the almafi coast. I will rent this boat again!

Communication was very clear and made everything easy… overall amazing day and would book again if ever back in Sorrento!

Very good communication throughout the booking process. Great price & driver was good fun and informative.

Everything was perfect! Had a great day on board, the boat was in good shape! Only fuel was charged extra than expected. All the rest was perfect.

We actually had a different boat as the one booked needed maintenance, but the one we got was bigger and really nice! Very happy with the boat and Tobia, our skipper, was great! We walked around positano for an hour and i have to say i am very pleased we travelled by private boat and were able to see it from the sea as its very crowded and much more relaxing by boat! Would recommend booking

Very good day on the boat , staff was nice , thankyou

Excellent experience, thank you!

Very friendly and helped us get everything ready for smooth sailing, helped us agree on a fuel price to where we wanted to go, and also gave us advice on a restaurant where we could dock by boat. Wonderful experience. Also they were always on WhatsApp to help us, and advise us on how to use the boat and if the weather or waves were getting better or worse.

Francesco's boat was in great conditions as shown on photos! Communication via Whatsapp was easy and comforting, collaborators were very helpful! Would recommend.

All booking and arrangements went well. The skipper was great and knew all the places to go!

This was a big pleasure to rent a boat from Francesco. Great service!!! Thank you Francesco and looking forward to cooperate with you again💪🏻🥳

Had a fantastic day on the boat, skipper was friendly and accomodating. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Thank you for a wonderful day on the boat. From 9-5 we did a lot of swimming in between ports and visited Capri for 3hrs. Our skipper Samuel was extremely kind and helpful. It was worth every penny!

Francesco was great to communicate with and answered all questions before booking. We met another man at the boat who was lovely and showed us around the boat. We sailed to capri and went around the whole island on the boat. Visiting the famous rocks. Then drove back along the coastline and stopped for a swim. There boat is lovely and well kept and very easy to drive. The value for money was fantastic compared to other boats.

Amazing boat and amazing experience! Highly recommended. Good communication and support during the whole renting.

Great host, great boat would recommend to others looking to get a day out!

Everything was amazing, the boat is exactlly like in pictures. For us it was a good deal.

The tour was great, Capri was impressive. The boat was the perfect size and we enjoyed our day to the fullest. The skipper was very respectful and always tried to let us do whatever we wanted. Language was a little barrier, we speak spanish and english, but we made it work. Overall a beautiful day :)

Amazing time on the boat, boat is just as the pictures show. Captain Raffaele was really good and we easily communicated via Google translate.

Brilliant day out - highly responsive communication and the boat was beautiful. Thanks so much!

Good experience for us.

Amazing day ! Nice boat for 4 people and Genaro was very kind. He took us to many amazing places around capri. Perfect experience

You get about 1000 whatssapps to deal with the collection and return, fuel was forgotten and was left waiting in the sun for half an hour to collect the boat. very disorganised and money better spent elesewhere

What was advertised, and what was delivered, was not what we expected, or paid for. The advertised Ithaca 550 2022 boat, and inclusions, was not what we received. Its more like a bait and switch. The advert posted when we research option listed many inclusions like GPS/sounder, snorkeling gear, fridge, ect. None of which was on the boat supplied. Instead, we received another boat that was older, with a more basic equipment setup. And in average condition. One appeal of the advert was the pay as you go fuel based on consumption on return. We expected that to mean we get back to base, top it back up, and pay for the fuel used. Or, maybe even have a fuel consumption meter to refer to. If not at least a fuel gauge on the dashboard. Even a tank gauge would have been good. But we had no way to measure what we had used, or had left in the tank. Be it a little, or a lot. But that's not how it works. They nominate a fixed fee for your intended destination. Regardless of your consumption. This was to be paid on return to base. I would rather they be upfront with the fixed fee fuel expectation for each destination plan. That way we can make an informed decision before booking. Many others do it that way. At the end of the day, we made it to Capri on an amazing weather day. Explored lots of amazing spots. Which was great. We just didn't appreciate the bait and switch approach of the advertised boat and flexible fuel plan. Only to have to accept a lesser, more basic boat in less than advertised condition. So that took the shine off the day as a whole.

Communication was easy, we always spoke via WhatsApp. On the day we received the boat, they gave us a different one than the photos. I wish this had been communicated earlier. The boat could be cleaner and more cared for. Overall we were satisfied.

Great day on a nice boat

Great experience

Company policy is 24 hr cancel for refund. I canceled 20 days in advance for a change of plans and kept messaging them but the owner kept saying I canceled for weather for which there is no refund. A scam. I had to contest through my credit card.

Easy to book, easy to find the boat and it was well maintained and easy to manoeuvre. It said that there was supposed to be snorkeling equipment but there was just 3 snorkels and 1 pair of goggles that was a size for a kid, but other than that, good boat, nice charter in the amalfi coast and a nice choice for a boat ride.

Be careful to close with this company. It stings. We arrived at the place and two young men came and demanded more money before boarding after we had already paid by credit. The guys didn't leave us and didn't let us get on the boat, they asked for more money and finally kicked us out.

Despite quite a lot of confusion during this day trip (we waited for 30min for the agreed time, skipper didn’t know where to park the boat in Capri moving around for a while, no snacks or drinks as it was advised being included while booking) overall we had great day with amazing views, clean boat and polite skipper (even though he didn’t know English and sometimes looked confused - perhaps due to miscommunication with organisers).

Unsure if it was the language barrier or what but it seemed like something weird was happening at times. We were dropped off at a hotel resort with no indication of what was happening, it seemed as if we weren’t supposed to be there at all and then suddenly being rushed off the boat. We weren’t able to really stop and enjoy the things we wanted to for various reasons. We we’re made to stay buddied up with another family which we weren’t aware of when showing up for our rental. Things got weird when the coast guard showed up. The skipper was nice and the boat was clean and maintained well.

Thieves. We did the reservation July 2022. I asked if we could be picked up and left off in Capri, they said OK (long talk online and I made sure everything was clear). I asked for a half day rent and they gave us the price of full day, still we accepted because they might find someone for a full day so it made sense. It was 285 + 100 for the skipper. The day of the rental, we call them because we can't find the address and they told us they were waiting for us in a port on the mainland and wouldn't pick us up in Capri! Our hotel managed to make them come to Capri as they wouldn't listen to me and talk badly. The skipper was a nice person but he wanted to flirt (we were 2 girls) which actually wasn't a professional attitude at all. At the end of the half day, when we were about to leave the ship, the skipper asked for 100 for gas. I told him it was never a question, he called his boss who started yelling at him on the phone and also told me in a more calm manner to pay the 100. I did because I was sick that day and had no power for discussion, but I kindly recommend to anyone considering this rental to pass your way!
