We had an amazing time with Vito today! He was very good and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves and made sure we had fun and were safe. The ultimate professional! Some of the places he took us were incredible! We loved going into the caves and the restaurant they arranged for us in Sant’Angelo was outstanding! He was always pointing out certain formations that are very famous along the Ischia coastline. From the start with making reservations with Giovanni, the owner, right to the final drop-off was perfect! Everything they said would happen, did! No hiccups at all! The boat, Dolce Vita, is beautiful and well maintained! You stop multiple times to jump in the water, which is so refreshing on the hot summer days! Then lay out on their bow-cushions and enjoy the easy ride along the water until your next stop! Breathtaking experience! They have lots of water and Prosecco as well! We highly recommend Giovanni and Vito for the Ischia Island Tour. They made it fun and had us laughing and smiling the whole time! You won’t regret it! Ciao! Pablo

We had a wonderful private boat trip around Ischia with our family, and Captain Giovanni made the experience truly special. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, providing all the information we needed before the trip and making the planning process easy and stress-free. During the tour, Giovanni gave us a fantastic overview of the island, showing us beautiful spots and sharing interesting information along the way. He was very accommodating and happy to adjust the itinerary to fit our requests, which made the day feel personalized and relaxed. Even after the trip, Giovanni went above and beyond by providing us with great local recommendations. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made for an unforgettable experience. We had an amazing day on the water and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ischia. Thank you, Giovanni, for a perfect day!

Fantastic boat tour with Giovanni! Beautiful and very comfortable boat, beautiful places between bays and caves with crystal clear water. Giovanni is professional, kind and very attentive to guests.

Sono felice che tu abbia apprezzato la barca, i luoghi e l’esperienza. Ti aspetto presto di nuovo a Ischia per un altro tour insieme!
Booked this full day boat tour with my husband for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The boat was clean and had water, champagne, and snacks. We had the best time, were not rushed, and got taken to the coolest places by our skipper, Vito. He was amazing and explained all the history and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. We got to see beautiful grottos, caves, town of Sant’Angelo, swim in different locations, and ate lunch at a great spot only accessible by boat. 10/10 would recommend this boat tour!!!
