The service advertised included pick-up from the town centre and a cruise with four stops for swimming and snorkelling.
On the day, no one arrived at the agreed pick-up point, so we had to make our own way to the boat. When we arrived to board, we were told that swimming and snorkelling stops would no longer be included. This was the main purpose of the cruise and the activity we had paid for.
We requested a refund and were told this would not be a problem. However, after we chose not to board, the third-party booking provider advised that they required the vendor’s consent. Consent was later provided, but we are not confident the refund will be processed. We therefore request our bank that the transaction be cancelled and the full amount refunded.

Disappointing is an understatement!
The most disappointing boat tour I have taken so far. Duration 3 hours, 3 stops with 3 swims of 10 min max and an aperitif consisting of a glass of unidentified wine and 4 slices of bread the size of a communion wafer with barely perceptible topping. Not to mention the high number of people on the boat and the annoying music kept at full volume for the entire trip. All for the modest price of €40 each.

Terrible experience
Today we had the boat experience organized by you and what can I say:
More than 100 people inside a small boat where you couldn't even move, 45 euros per person for adults and we did practically nothing except for a 20-second swim, the guide's explanation made no sense, the boat didn't allow for a full view as you only saw the heads of other people who were also trying to see out the windows, the "Calabrian aperitif" with 4 thin slices of bread, the music was so loud and deafening that we couldn't even talk to each other, the staff was rude and impolite and didn't even accommodate one of our requests, 35 euros for children for what???? In the aperitif for them there was absolutely nothing
In short, it was the most disappointing excursion I have ever taken, 125 euros thrown down the toilet.
Thanks and never again!

Terrible, nothing to add
Terrible staff, they make distinctions; the group goes up to the boat's deck while a family is kept closed in a cabin instead

Never again!!!
Terrible boat tour. Large boat but full of people. Fast-food style seating. I had to climb over people and families with children to get to the bow and be able to take decent photos. During the swimming stops, people were jumping into the sea from multiple points of the boat; it was a huge mess. Terrible loud music; it felt like a sad 80s New Year's Eve party, I was afraid the conga line would start. The Coast of the Gods is beautiful, but in that context, you can't enjoy it. They ruined the whole atmosphere. I probably chose poorly; I should have evaluated better and gone with a smaller boat. Surely some people like this type of excursion, but I didn't like it at all. Evaluate carefully.

Experience not to be recommended.
Highly unrecommended, not at all reliable or fair! We went to the port as instructed, and upon our arrival, we asked if the sea was calm enough to ensure a peaceful tour, and we were told that the weather was favorable. As soon as we left the port, the first waves caused quite a few difficulties in reaching Capo Vaticano, a condition that gradually worsened and ultimately made it impossible to reach the destination. On board, many were feeling sick and expressed their desire to return, but this was completely ignored by the crew.
In summary, we sailed at the mercy of the waves for three hours, with discontent and states of agitation that made the tour an experience to forget.
The owner, obviously, washed his hands of it, not even guaranteeing a refund.

AVOID!
DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE, WASTED MONEY!! Yesterday we called to find out if the tour was confirmed since the sea seemed rough to us, and they told us yes. As expected, the rough sea caused the tour to be cut short after 15 minutes, and we wandered aimlessly for a while until we stopped several times due to the rough sea; several people were seasick, some were arguing and asking to go home and get their money back because it was truly pointless to be like that, my husband was sick the whole time, and when we asked for a refund we were ignored; one lady was even treated badly because she complained... never again!!!! Run far away, they are terrible.

Boat tour along the Coast of the Gods, like a trip among friends. Recommended!
On vacation in Tropea for 5 days with my family (2 adults and 2 children, 9 and 10 years old); second to last week of July 2026.
Recommended by the host of the hotel where we are staying, I booked directly via WhatsApp, the afternoon for the next morning.
Invited to arrive at the port half an hour before boarding, it was very simple to park and find the docking point. Quick payment by card, and then the departure.
Very large, clean, and welcoming boat. An audio guide briefly explained the name and history of the various coves along the coast. Three stops for a spectacular swim in crystal clear water. Upon arriving at Capo Vaticano, a tasty sample of typical products was offered.
The restrooms are clean, with accessories provided.
The boat is clean and large.
The staff is nice, helpful, and friendly.
Positive experience!
I recommend it.
