On vacation in Tropea for 5 days with my family (2 adults and 2 children, 9 and 10 years old); second to last week of July 2026. Recommended by the host of the hotel where we are staying, I booked directly via WhatsApp, the afternoon for the next morning. Invited to arrive at the port half an hour before boarding, it was very simple to park and find the docking point. Quick payment by card, and then the departure. Very large, clean, and welcoming boat. An audio guide briefly explained the name and history of the various coves along the coast. Three stops for a spectacular swim in crystal clear water. Upon arriving at Capo Vaticano, a tasty sample of typical products was offered. The restrooms are clean, with accessories provided. The boat is clean and large. The staff is nice, helpful, and friendly. Positive experience! I recommend it.
Excellent experience: kind welcome, beautiful tour along the coast, pleasant stops, and spectacular sea. Complimentary appetizer of excellent quality.
Beautiful trip, reasonable price, very kind staff, excellent rustic aperitif with local products... absolutely not to be missed!!!
Coastal tour from Tropea to Capo Vaticano with 3 stops for swimming in fantastic waters along the entire coast and wonderful beaches. The welcoming crew and then on board for an aperitif of local products prepared directly by Maria and wine that my husband greatly appreciated. Everything was fine.
That's bad. Broken main boat replaced by a dinghy that with rough seas made us all wet for spray. Itinerary not respected any cave and we were not at Vatican head. Non-existent aperitif a simple glass of wine to save. For 45€ the agency had talked about an aperitif with local products. The duration of the trip instead of 3 hours was two hours. No discount for disservice. To be avoided.
Chaos have not respected anything of the itinerary we did not arrive at the Vatican cape we stopped only to make short stops in the water without masks and fins, poor and mean aperitif as the whole trip did not provide any mask and fins for snorkeling, an experience not to be done absolutely given the cost
We are a family of five - three teenage children. We had an amazing time. The captain was a brilliant host. It was an interesting and informative tour, but also had a warm Italian feel. We stopped at three swimming locations, which were stunning. Some local snacks were served which were delicious. Highly recommend.
Exceptional experience. Lovely places to breathtaking. Super nice and nice crew. Made 3 stops with bath about 30 minutes. In the stop of grotticelle we were offered a tasty aperitif with bruschettine with typical products (eggplant onion nduja and sun-dried tomatoes) and wine, with background of Calabrian tarantelle: exceptional. During the trip beautiful Italian music. Really a great experience. Very good indeed!
I will take home a magnificent memory of all the staff: kind, cheerful, made us dance and sing, offering delicious appetizers. Pasquale, thank you for passing "Romagna mia", to play a joke on a dear friend. Live in a beautiful place, be proud
All very nice. Aperitif on board, friendly and nice crew. Sea Turquoise/Blue/Green, all colors. To be redone
