Boat holiday rentals in Apennine Mountains

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We gad the most extraordinary time on the yacht. The boat itself was very beautiful. We loved visiting different towns; exploring, sailing and swimming! But it was our hosts who made the trip really special. Piero and Orlando looked after us so well. They were more like extended family than crew!

We spent 4 nights aboard the skylark at the end of our trip to Italy: An extraordinary adventure and an unprecedented experience: La vie august while being attached to the port: The must!!!! Our stay was very pleasant, the boat is beautiful and left to be lulled by the lapping of the water, the best! We were able to observe the movement of liners bringing their share of tourists and this fascinated the children. Paolo's welcome was fantastic, always in mind that everything is going well on board, checking in regularly and answering our questions very quickly. An exciting and passionate man, a rich discovery. See you soon on board again!!! A huge THANK YOU for the trust we were given. We really recommend this step to anyone who wants to have a great adventure, off the beaten track!

From the moment we met them, we knew that our trip as well as our hosts were going to be something special. We were so well taken care of by Bobo and Giusy. Captain Bobo’s knowledge of the weather/currents lead us to beautiful protected bays away from the crowds. Everywhere we visited, we were just a short swim away from a beach we could be completely alone on. Giusy must have been taken out of a 5 Star restaurant and put on Blue Magic to cook for guests. Everything we ate and drank was so delicious. She is also part mermaid, leading us in snorkeling adventures into caves and underwater tunnels, playing with jellyfish and telling us about all the creatures we saw. In the downtime we would play games together, laughing and telling stories or napping in the sun on the deck. We left with inside jokes and local secrets we’ll keep forever. This trip was truly unforgettable and I wish we never had to leave. The two of them made an incredible sailing team and even better hosts for the week.

Adventure for sure. We took our 6 and 10 year old hoping to find a different perspective of the island of Vis and this does just that. We met Kreso, the skipper, and he took us to the boat from the ferry. We knew we would paddle board into dinner and found a lovely restaurant,Boccadoro. Got back to the boat before the early summer storm and had a great thunderstorm sleep in the spacious cabins. Mornings are delightful. Kreso comes at 10am to take us to a beautiful cove of Stoncica where we had a liter of vugava and olives and warm bread on the beach. We had wonderful weather overnight. We met the skipper again and headed to the blue cave, tunnel and spend the afternoon near Rogačić ending in the bay of Vis to catch the ferry in the A.M. 1. Less is more except with warm evening wear and snacks, card games 2. Be flexible and adventurous. This is not a yacht, quarters are spacious but simple 3. Communication is key but also know NO one can control weather or your expectations.

We had a truly amazing experience on Andrey‘s catamaran! We were able to visit all the amazing locations we wanted, and Andrey knew a bunch of secret spots that were a great addition to our own plans. The local specialty octopus dinner that he arranged for us on Solta is not to be missed!! We would love to come back.

Omg! This is the BEST and THE ONLY way to experience The Amalfi Coast! Giuseppantonio is the MOST hospitable and gracious host and took us to the most amazing places and memorable special Amalfi spots!!!! Super comfortable, very fun and just everything good! Thank you Giuseppantonio for the most amazing Amalfi experience we could’ve possibly had! Highly, highly, highly recommended!!!!

I can’t say enough. We stayed 2 nights and didn’t want to leave. Pietro and another skipper took us out all day via separate agreement. Very professional and knowledgeable about the area. Also the boat is docked in a small town with no tourists

We spent 2 nights on Vlado’s catamaran! It was a lovely time, filled with swimming turquoise waters, exploring islands, paddle boarding, relaxing on deck and listening to music. The boat was built by Vlado, and fit us well (please know it’s a boat— of course it’s tight quarters). There were two double beds that fit 2 people and a marine toilet bathroom in each room. Vlado sleeps on a pullout couch. There was a fridge and freezer, all the required kitchen utensils, and a two burner stove for cooking. Vlado told us ahead of time the route he’d take us on for our journey, which included spots like a blue lagoon, an abandoned military base, and a cove that nestled a quaint town. He also informed us of projected inclement weather in advance. Communication was a bit difficult as none of us knew the languages Vlado speaks, but honestly we still were able to chat and learn new words in Croatian! He was very responsive. Highly recommend and it was great for the money! Thank you Vlado!!

Great family stay on Antima, Very nice and friendly port, Thank you to Frederick and his wife.

Gabriel’s boat and crew were first class. Nothing was too much trouble….with their local knowledge and expert understanding of the Adriatic we were able to access and explore some exquisite locations. The boat was clean, well equipped and was perfect for the 5 of us. Big thanks to our captain Daniel & host Brigitta for making our journey so memorable.

We spent three nights on the boat with two adults and two children aged 7 and 5. The stay exceeded our expectations in every respect. The boat was surprisingly spacious, clean, well organised and maintained. Its location was superb, very quiet in the back of the port yet with a parking spot, clean showers and toilets next to the pontoon and within walking distance of the historic town centre with its many shops and restaurants, and to typical Italian beach clubs. Marco is a very attentive and communicative host who went out of his way to make us feel at home. On the last evening, we took our own floating home on a tour with him for a sunset apero at sea, which was an experience neither of us will forget. In all, can only recommend!

The accommodation was exactly as described and close to the beach. There were two bicycles available with which you could be on the beach and in the city in a few minutes. Giacomo was also very nice and the communication was clear and easy.

Italo is such a kind, helpful, friendly and very professional person. The stay was fantastic, the place is beautiful, comfortable and cared for in every detail. I highly recommend it to those like us who want to admire the wonderful Amalfi Coast and live an exclusive experience.

very good communication, small welcome booklet at the top. we were 5 so rather spacious cabin but I do not recommend it for people with a large build. 3 fans available the location is quiet and the neighbors are nice. the port is lively (bar + restaurant) and the toilets are well maintained. i recommend it without hesitation

What a beautiful experience. Alessandro is a kind and generous host and a truly beautiful human. My husband and I had a wonderful time staying on his beautiful boat. There are many delicious restaurants in easy walking distance, we only wish we had more time. Such a beautiful part of the world and very accessible for exploring further afield. We dearly hope to return one day.

Sitting on the front deck, watching the sunset, and having a little picnic in privacy was a really nice experience. Also, sleeping on a boat was a rare opportunity and for us the first time. So, staying at Giovanni's boat was great!

I cannot say enough good things about Antonio and the Alchemia. My wife and I spent 5 days aboard. I have experience being on a sailboat for long periods. Antonio is a skillful sailor, a great cook, and very knowledgeable about the area, the coast, and the beautiful islands. He knows the best spots for a peaceful, private beach, or great restaurants and nightlife. He knows the exactly where to take you. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend him.

Raffaele & his son Jurij were excellent hosts, very attentive, nothing too much trouble for them. They helped book taxis for airport and day trips. We had a very memorable day to Capri with them taking us on the boat. They helped us to get the England football match on the tv and were only a text message away for anything we needed. As three ladies it was a very different but enjoyable experience staying on a boat but a little tricky getting on and off to start with however we conquered it! Would highly recommend. Thank you Raffaele & Jurij for a wonderful experience where we made many lovely memories 🥰

Beautiful area, clean water to swim in and enjoy the sunset. Experience of the extra class. Small cakes for breakfast very tasty. The boat has everything you need Super music sound Water with ice on the cooler.... Recommended Thank you Cristina & Luca

Very nice experience on this sailboat in the middle of the bay. Instructions are clear. The setting is beautiful! Julien is friendly and available. The kayak provided is a plus for accessing the small island and the surrounding beaches. We recommend it.

Very responsive and warm host. The sailboat is offered, it changes from the usual setting, it's perfect!

We were very warmly welcomed, as the owner could not speak English, he even brought someone to translate. It was very appreciative that he wanted to greet us personally and therefore came to the boat. It was super equipped with everything you need. There is a very small toilet on the boat, but you can also use the sanitary facilities of the port for free, the key is provided. All in all, we had a nice and romantic stay for two with our dog. However, I would not recommend it for more than 2 people, as it quickly becomes quite cramped. We slept great on the bed. If you want to stay on the deck in the evening and enjoy the wonderful sunset, you should definitely take mosquito spray with you! What was also a plus, we had rented a boat trip, and it was right on the same pier so we had a minute's walk :)

I spent a week with my adult daughter and my dog on Angelo's boat. Everything was great, Angelo took great care that we didn't need anything. There was always something to have breakfast, every 2nd day Angelo asked us what to bring for breakfast. It was very nice and convenient (including prosecco😄). Also, at our request, Angelo arranged a trip for us on another boat, which was also great. There are 2 walk-through cabins on the boat, a total of 4 beds. In addition, 2 toilets, shower and kitchen. Parking nearby and very convenient. In the port there are several restaurants and cafes where you can have a great dinner or drink Aperetivo (all in the area of 100-300 meters from the boat) . Walking distance to various beaches both unequipped and equipment (including the only beach where dogs are allowed). By the way, it is the first in a row of beaches. For those who arrive by plane: Fiumicino airport is only 20 minutes away by car. Rome and Civitavecchio are an hour away. There is a fairly large excavation park (Ostia Antika) within 15 minutes.
