A special trip in Forio

5.00An excellente day out. Trip had everything, warmth and true hospitality from a family team, plenty of good spots on the boat, lots of great swimming stops, food and drink were excellent. Brusheta mid morning snack, amazing lunch of fresh seafood pasta, buffalo Mozerella and pomodoro salad. Watermelon, cake. Wine, water. Homemade food not mass catering. No pushing of other services or selling. Truly the best boat trip I've been on anywhere Commentary on some of the key landmarks too. A property day out 10 until about 430. Amazing value.
Highlight boat tour in Ischia.

5.00Our excursion with Criade Cruise was undoubtedly the absolute highlight of our vacation in Ischia! We had an incredible amount of fun with Fabio and his son Christian. The two created a great atmosphere with their warm nature and humor, making the day an unforgettable experience. The selected swimming stops were dreamy and offered beautiful spots for swimming and relaxing. The food on board was simply incredibly delicious and prepared with a lot of love – a true highlight in itself. You can immediately feel that Criade Cruise is a family business that is run with passion and a lot of heart. We felt welcome from the very first moment and enjoyed every minute. Many thanks to Fabio, Christian, and the rest of the family for this fantastic day! We would love to come back and can wholeheartedly recommend Criade Cruise to any visitor to Ischia!

The ABSOLUTE highlight of our European honeymoon!!

5.00Hands down, this was the best experience of our entire honeymoon in Europe, and the best boat trip we have ever had in our lives! From the moment we stepped on board, this incredible family made us feel so welcomed, comfortable, and a part of their own family. The warmth and hospitality of everyone on board who worked tirelessly to serve us, keep our drinks full, and ensure we were comfortable was unmatched. Here is what made our day around Ischia so unforgettable: The Captain (Fabio): Fabio sailed us smoothly around the island and took us to 5 spectacular swimming spots. He even surprised us by celebrating our honeymoon with cake and drinks! The Guide (Christian): Christian was fantastic! He shared so much fascinating history and information about the island spots. He is incredibly friendly, chatted with us throughout the day, and spoke fluent, excellent English and Italian. The Chef (Vincenza): Wow. The food was out of this world. We started with incredibly fresh tomato bruschetta. The main pasta dish was easily the best pasta we had during our entire stay in Ischia—loaded with fresh seafood they caught themselves. It was so delicious we had to go back for seconds! She also made the amazing honeymoon cake. The Drinks: They kept the drinks flowing all day. We had everything from coffee, wine, and Prosecco to incredible homemade limoncello, pistachio liqueur, and melon liqueur. The Vibe: They made the entire day so incredibly fun with great music, singing, and dancing. We cannot recommend a trip with Fabio, Vincenza, Christian, and their family enough. We will absolutely be rebooking the next time we are back in Ischia! Thank you for making our honeymoon so magical! Grazie Mille, Annalise and Tyron x
Exceptional mini cruise.

5.00It was a wonderful day with Captain Fabio and his entire family. The mini cruise was around the entire island of Ischia, with several stops for swimming, and at the spectacular island of Procida where a taxi offers the possibility of a mini tour (which I recommend as it allows you to see as many scenic viewpoints as possible during the time you can spend on land). On board the ship Alcione, everything was perfect, punctuated by continuous breaks with delicious snacks including bruschetta, watermelon, and desserts. The lunch, prepared by Fabio's wife, was worthy of a restaurant, with scialatielli pasta with seafood and "original" buffalo mozzarella. An experience not to be missed to fully enjoy the land and the flavors of Ischia!
Brilliant boat tour around Ischia

5.00This experience was so special. I could not recommend it more. Fabio welcomes you into his family while his sons show you around the island. The boat goes to the most beautiful places where you swim and enjoy the sun. Fabio’s wife cooks the most exceptional lunch. But most of all, they are exceptionally kind and make sure that every person there is having a special experience. It’s also so much fun it’s crazy. A MUST DO
A highlight of Ischia
