An incredible day with an incredible person! - Rocco was amazing! We had three generations (ages 13-73) of family on board Rocco’s boat. Our day started off with light rain but Rocco’s upbeat attitude and great tunes kept us going. He brought us to the most incredible places along the coast and told us the history behind a lot of the secret spots. He was open to adjusting the itinerary and was great about giving suggestions on what to see when we were in certain ports. Mid day, the sun finally broke through and we took a dip in the Mediterranean (bucket list item!!) Overall, such an incredible day with an amazing person! Grazie Rocco!! We hope to see you again!

Magic tour - Very clean boat, super welcoming. It was a fantastic tour among the wonders of the Ligurian coast, with an unforgettable stop in San Fruttuoso. Highly recommended experience and one that I will do again as soon as possible

Awesome experience to see the Liguarian Coast! - Booked this boat charter for our honeymoon and first trip to Italy! We had Rocco as our guide and he was AWESOME! He made sure we had a memorable experience and was great at recommending places for us to eat/see at each of our stops! We had literally the best time and if we ever come back to this area we are booking with Rocco again!

“Best day ever” on the water! - I cannot thank Rocco enough for the amazing time we had with him. In the words of my 6-year olds, it was “the best day ever.” He was thoughtful and courteous and went out of his way to ensure that my twins were both cared for and entertained. The boat was certainly comfortable for our group (4) and allowed for a great combination of swimming, snorkelling, tubing and visiting both Portofino and Camogli. Rocco is clearly experienced and knows the area like the back of his hand. If and when back in the area we will 100% book another day (or two) on the water with him. Thanks Rocco!

Excellent day on the water exploring San Fruttuoso, Portafino, Camogli and more! - Lovely day on the water seeing San Fruttuoso, Portafino, Camogli with lots of opportunities for swimming. Rocco was a great host and customised the tour to us. We wouldn’t have been able to see so much in the same time if we traveled by ourselves. A great mix of activities. Highly recommend!

Fantastic private boat trip from Gonova to Portofino and back! - Rocco was a wonderful captain and the boat was quite comfortable even in rough seas. We stopped for swimming and snorkeling and a lovely lunch spot, all expertly curated by Rocco. I would highly recommend this adventure!

Fabulous Day on the Water! - We spent the day today on Rocco’s boat, 4 teenagers and 2 adults. Awesome day!!! From the start Rocco was a good communicator before our trip, and during our trip today he worked so hard to make it a wonderful experience. We saw dolphins en route to San Fruttuoso and Rocco positioned the boat to get some great pictures. We loved our quick stop in San Fruttuoso, toured this little town and saw the “Jesus of the Abyss”. Next on to Portofino, he pulled us right up to the front sea wall and we got out to explore. Very hot day, so when we messaged Rocco that it was time to go he was ready to take us on to a beautiful swimming spot near Camogli, then into town for lunch. He gave us some guidance and off we went for an amazing lunch at Binji. Rocco got us back to port right on time. Fabulous day on the water!

OK, but way overpriced for what you get - Rocco is a nice man but his business leaves a lot to be desired. For the high cost, it's disappointing in too many areas: the size of the boat (at 7 meters, nowhere to sit comfortably, just a flat cushioned deck); no soft drinks -- even cold water; the snorkel and goggles were dragged out of an unkempt compartment under his seat and rinsed in the sea before being handed to us; and there was no timing organization at all. In fact, on the timing, he changed the meeting time to 20 minutes later than the contract start time, forgot where he told us to meet, which would be fine if he had been at the correct location, I had to track him down, so we started roughly 45 minutes late and were returned to dock not 8 hours as advertised but 7 hours after the start. I would not recommend paying more than €300 per group but it's a lot more.
