If you’re looking for a great boat tour around Ischia, Dolce Vita is the best choice! We had Skipper Vito, and he was absolutely amazing; so knowledgeable and kind. Great stops for swimming along the way with a few snacks and drink options (they have prosecco)!
Our private boat tour around Ischia was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The island is stunning from the water, and spending the day exploring hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear seas, and taking in the dramatic coastline was unforgettable. What made the experience exceptional was our captain, Vito. He was warm, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely wonderful to spend the day with. His love for Ischia was evident, and he went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. By the end of the day, he felt more like a friend than a guide. A special recommendation: don’t miss lunch at Gardenia. The setting is beautiful, the food was outstanding, and it was the perfect complement to a day on the water. If you’re visiting the island, a private boat tour with Vito is an absolute must. It was the perfect way to experience the beauty, charm, and magic of Ischia, and a memory our family will cherish for years to come.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure showing you the beauty of Ischia. We’re so happy you enjoyed the day with Captain Vito and we hope to welcome you back soon!
This tour was one of the best ways to see the whole island!! Our guide Vito showed us all the best places to swim & snorkel, while making sure we had the best photos and videos from the whole day. Would highly recommend to any travelers but especially couples!

Per la recensione di Megan: Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour with Vito and discovered the best spots around Ischia. Hope to see you again soon! Giovanni Dolce Vita
We had a fantastic day on the boat with Giovanni, he was great! The weather was beautiful, and he knew the conditions perfectly. We went around the entire island and stopped for a drink at Sant’Angelo. The kids had a great day, we’d definitely recommend it! Thanks Giovanni!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you and your family enjoyed the day — Ischia is even more special when seen from the sea. Hope to see you again!
Amazing trip, highly recommended. Giovanni was a fantastic guide and brought us to places we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. I’d book again if we return.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure showing you the hidden gems of Ischia. Hope to welcome you back on board for another Dolce Vita experience!
My fiance and I went on a tour with Vito in September and it was everything we wanted and more. First, we were supposed to go in Thursday but we had to reschedule because of travel delays and Giovanni had no problem accommodating us. Our captain was Vito and he took dozens of pics of us and showed us the best snorkeling spots around Ischia. He also took us to La Pace for lunch which was amazing. All around 10/10 boat day. We know during a cold day in February we’ll look back and think of our Ischia boat day with Vito.
Thank you so much! Vito will be thrilled to read this – he always gives his heart to every tour. We’re glad you loved La Pace and the snorkeling spots!
An idyllic day. Amazing boat and service from Giovanni. Highly recommend. Saw lots of hidden and unique parts of the island. Thermal water, the green cave, and excellent commentary on Ischia, what it is like to be a local here and on each town as we circumnavigated the island. We wish we did it on our first day in Ischia not the last
Thank you, Malinda, for celebrating such a special day with us! I’m so happy you enjoyed discovering Ischia’s hidden gems. Hope to welcome you back soon!
