1.00Cancelled the boat 15 minutes before departure. They gave an option of possibly another day, however this was planned as our last day activity on vacation. Extremely disappointed / disappointing. Would never recommend this company.
Great experience!

5.00What a great experience! This was definitely our highlight for our stay at Santa Margherita! Our captain Cristiano was amazing- he knew the history, geography and the best spots to eat, swim and sightsee. We couldn’t ask for a better guide and captain. He was fabulous and really made our trip special. The boat is gorgeous and it’s really the best way to see the coast. Highly recommend!
Wonderful

5.00Amazing trip with Captain Lorenzo! Communication prior to excursion was thorough. He picked us up promptly in Port of Portofino. Drove us around the coast in the beautiful "Mimi" and anchored for about 45 min for us to take a dip in the sea! We had a very memorable day and would highly recommend this tour. Beer, water, soft drinks provided on board. He had us back to the port in plenty of time for us to tender back to our ship!
Beautiful Cruise, Fair Service

3.00Service provider was very accommodating to rebook us after a weather cancellation. However the skipper we had was not very engaged with us - didn’t talk much, explain the area, offer for photos, etc. he wasn’t rude or anything, just not the best host.
You will not be disappointed
