Wonderful experience

Beautiful experience. Captain Luigi and his guys were great and engaging. We spent 3 hours visiting the coast, taking 3 swims in waters that have nothing to envy of the Caribbean. Experience to be repeated.

Beautiful tour between Tropea and Capo Vaticano. Comfortable boat, good aperitif. Friendly staff, 3 stops to swim in the beautiful waters of the area, and the explanation of the places in Italian and English was also useful.

Memorable boat ride with beautiful waters and friendly staff

Nice boat trip, nice swimming spots. There were cyclops and floating sausages to borrow. Very friendly staff. Sometimes loud music, would not bring toddlers but teenagers and up! Had to try several different toppings on bruschettan. Highly recommended!

Operator response

Hej! Stort tack för ert fina omdöme och för att ni tog er tid att dela med er av er upplevelse! Vi är väldigt glada att ni uppskattade båtturen, de vackra badplatserna, vår trevliga besättning och möjligheten att låna snorkelutrustning och flythjälpmedel. Det är också roligt att höra att bruschettan med lokala pålägg blev uppskattad! Tack även för er kommentar om musiken. Vi strävar efter att skapa en härlig och avslappnad stämning ombord samtidigt som våra gäster får njuta av den fantastiska Costa degli Dei. Tack för er varma rekommendation!

Perfetto

Fantastic experience, excellent crew, there’s a bar that serves yummy Limoncello Spritz, you get to swim in crystal clear water, accompanied by some good music, and taste some perfect bruschetta with local toppings 🩷 What’s not to love. Perfetto! Grazie mille!!! Only negative thing is that it is only three hours, I would have stayed for four ❤️

Operator response

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! Reading your words truly made us smile! We are delighted that you enjoyed every part of the experience—from swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Coast of the Gods to the music on board, our bruschetta with local specialties, and, of course, the Limoncello Spritz! 🍋🥂 Your kind compliments about our crew mean a great deal to us, and we're thrilled that you had such a memorable time. We especially loved your "only negative thing"... that the tour was too short! ❤️ That's one of the nicest compliments we could receive. It means you were enjoying yourself so much that you didn't want the experience to end. Thank you for choosing Blue Ocean and for sharing your wonderful experience. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon—perhaps one day we'll surprise you with an even longer adventure! Grazie mille and see you again! Warm regards, The Blue Ocean Crew 🚤☀️🌊💙

Excellent way to spend afternoon

Great way to spend the afternoon. Boat crew were friendly and really compassionate when a few travelers felt sea sick. They were also creative in how to find 3 stops to swim when the weather made the first stop not a possibility (we stopped there on the way back). Lovely wine & food aperitif and also had a bar where you could buy aperol spritz. Would 100% recommend.

Operator response

Sometimes the weather requires us to change the order of the swimming stops, but we always do our best to ensure our guests can still enjoy the most beautiful locations safely. It's great to know that you enjoyed our aperitif with local specialties, the wine, and the opportunity to relax with an Aperol Spritz from our onboard bar. Thank you for your 100% recommendation!
