Great boat trip along the coast in August. Kids loved it. Pro’s - really friendly guide, easy & friendly check in, small numbers on boat (we had 10 altogether including the host), 3 swimming stops, time to jump/dive in, crystal clear water, coast line is pretty esp Tropea, basic bread snacks, fruit juice & white wine. Con’s - (some of these are outside of the tour operators control but worth a heads up) give plenty of time to park as parking is limited & chaotic - it’s 10 euros to park in the port, and approx the same £ on the road lining the outside of the port, bring your own snorkelling kit for little kids as the snorkelling kit provided was fine for adults but too big for little kids, and the snorkelling kit was a bit worn and old. We went in August so it’s really busy & lots of the sights were crowded. I would recommend this trip for all the pro’s listed above!
Pleasantly small group size compared to other tours! Great skipper, very friendly and with lots of interesting info, in Italian and in very good English. The snorkeling spots are not exactly secret tips now, so there are some other boats on site at the same time, but that doesn't bother the fish, of which there are many to see! Also good for non-swimmers; with a life jacket, they too can gain wonderful impressions in the clear sea. The boat is new and everything is very well maintained; there is no restroom on board. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
I had the most amazing time on the boat with Federico as my skipper. they show you multiple amazing sites like Capo Vaticano, telling you the history on the way as well as allowing you to get into the water providing you with snorting equipment so that you don’t even have to bring your own. They also provide you with drinks and snack snacks just when you want them. I don’t want too many people to find out about this so it won’t get too busy!! it was a fantastic experience and I’d love the chance to do it again. An extra shout out to Valentina who made it very easy for me to understand where to go what to do and to get onto the boat at the right time.
This boat excursion was so much fun. The water was beautiful. The views were pure Italian delicacy for the eyes. Emilio…our boat captain showed us a great time. Would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone that would like to swim and see the beaches of Tropea.
Impeccable service, professional, kind, historical explanation of every place visited. In both English and Italian
The experience was beautiful, the details regarding the time and meeting point were extremely clear, arriving directly on WhatsApp. The boat trip was relaxing, with a wonderful sea and various swimming stops... highly recommended! The aperitif was also super appreciated!
My Family and I booked a full day sail boat experience with Tropea Sea Sports. I contacted Tropea Sea Sports and Romina was very very helpful and understanding of how special your time is while on vacation. She recommended a full day experience on the Miro sail boat. This is a family run business and you can tell by the passion and care they have for every client that walks through the door. We had an amazing skipper Michelle, who gave us a costal tour of Tropea & Capo Vaticano. Swim stops along the way, as well as aperitifs and lunch on the boat. Michelle even dove down to get us live sea urchin that we ate right on the spot. It’s was the best money I ever spent throughout my entire vacation. My kids, niece and nephews, the entire family loved it and walked away with an experience that will last a lifetime. Tropea Sea Sports are the best tour operators in the entire Marina!
It is the best experience I could have asked for
Excellent experience, I recommend it! Skipper was prepared and very good at the explanations, including historical ones provided during the various stops of the tour.
Really beautiful beaches were visited, and the pleasant captain on board talked in detail about the individual regions in English and Italian. Snack and drink on board were also very good
