Boat vacation rentals in Italy

Great location, Easy to walk to numerous restaurants in the area which were new. Very safe area on the waterfront. Lots of people frequent the area in the evening. It is well lit. It is very easy to access the historic and tourist areas of the town as well. The train stop is about 20 minutes from the boat as well. The owner is very helpful and communicative during the stay and helps with any issues you might have and suggestions for food etc. Would highly recommend the location.

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.

We enjoyed beautiful days on the Tai-Pan with 2 couples. Lorenzo was a very welcoming host and captain and got us to the ferry in Porteferraio. He knows how to tell a lot about the island and the sea and the evenings we spent in the beautiful port towns. During the day, Lorenzo provided lunch on board while we anchored in beautiful bays. Really a recommendation.

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 had such a great time spending a week in Ciro’s Boat. Everything went smooth, and we enjoyed every single minute of our journey. We’ll Come back again for sure! 5 star Stay! Quiet, respectful, clean, safe and organized. What more could a boat guest hope for? Ciro is a Wonderful host that is super easy and open to new experiences. He was our skipper for the entire week. We discovered beautiful places with him… Breathtaking beaches, small villages, authentic & beautiful Italy!!! Our children loved fishing & snorkeling during the day & playing Pirates at night🤩 Such an amazing experience for everyone. Ciro’s wife Assunta is a wonderful person, we enjoyed her typical Italian dishes made with fresh & local ingredients. And the smell of her Italian coffee & croissant in the morning is just great. We would definitely recommend Ciro’s experience for traveling around Italy in a sustainable & enjoyable way!!!

Incredible getaway on the island of San Pedro, advised by some friends was a magical adventure from its inception! We've had a lot of fun between the beautiful beaches and the comfort of this large and comfortable boat. Sardinia, the boat and the owner loved her kindness and incredible beauty! I recommend 200% of living this experience to anyone wanting to try an out of the ordinary vacation😍

My first time on a boat, it was a beautiful setting and the host was so helpful. The neighbours were friendly too and it’s an easy walk or short ride to the other side of the mariner where there are lots of restaurants and shops. I felt very safe and had a wonderful nights sleep, with the boat rocking me gently, like a baby in a cradle.

The boat is an amazing place to stay, felt very safe. Great location, ease of walking to restaurants and bars. Perfect for a short stay. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would stay there again.

Paolo's boat is beautiful, with attention to detail, clean, you can clearly see his passion. It was a beautiful and original experience that I would recommend to anyone, the Marina di Loano is very nice, clean and quiet but close to any service. Paolo was thoughtful, friendly and also nice in his presence, we hope to be able to repeat this experience as soon as possible. Her boat was stocked with everything we needed. Having breakfast on the boat with a nice sunny day was indescribable. Paolo allowed us to stay a few hours longer than we should and we were also able to eat on board. Awesome! Thank you Paolo. Thank

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.

I can’t say enough about our experience on Adrianna’s boat in Pompii. It was a great experience from start to finish. The boat is adorable and comfy, I had the best night sleep that I’d had in a while! The fan was a bonus! The fridge was stocked with drinks and a bottle of Prosecco. Adrianna and her husband are amazing hosts, quick replies, recommendations, and even offering to come make up the extra bed for us while we were out to dinner. And to top it off, when I asked about making coffee, they brought us an electric water kettle, mugs and even fresh delicious Cornetas (croissants) for breakfast! We are so happy we decided to stay on Adrianna’s boat!

What an amazing experience! Staying on the boat and being able to actually have private captains take us for 3 days all over the almalfi coast by boat. There was truly no other way to see all the places we saw with such ease. Being able to stay on the boat and visit Sorrento, almalfi, positano & Capri in a weekend! Enrico was a super skipper & host, he made us feel safe, welcome and was very helpful. A few things to note, a boat is the best way to see all of the almalfi coast without staying hotel/land based. Bed was comfy. Small quarters but it felt like glamping. Every marina we stayed at was very nice. There was no WiFi but we had service so not to worry. Showering quarters are pretty small but it’s an expected size on a boat. Top tier experience!

The host are super nice . Make sure to book a island trips on the boat with them

So for our stay the weather did not cooperate with us. When I was booking I debated on if the experience would be worth the money if it were to rain and finally decided to book and hope for the best. Well for any of you in the same boat, let me just say we experienced the “worst case scenario”. And I would still do it all over again if given the opportunity. Antonio went above and beyond to make sure my mother and I were enjoying ourselves. He took us personally up and over the mountain so that we could experience Amalfi and arranged a cooking class for us. Another thing I’ll note on was if you’re concerned about the rocking of the boat, I can’t tell you how soothing it actually is. Being rocked to sleep every night was probably my favorite part of the experience. All I’m saying is even if you’re unlucky to have weather like we did, you’re lucky to be hosted by Antonio.

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 🥰

My stay on Ruben's boat went as I could hope, starting with a warm welcome from his mother who was specific about the use of the boat. The boat is well maintained and spacious with hot water comfort, a kitchenette and a shower room with shower and toilet. It is moored in the peaceful port of Brindisi and therefore very easy to access. A few very small improvements and we would be close to perfection: a mattress topper eventually, and why not a few kitchen essentials (which we often find in other AirBnBs). Ruben was some great tips for where to go. Would love to come back.

Angela and Giuseppe were two very kind and attentive hosts. Despite some inconvenience, they were present and available. One-of-a-kind experience. We recommend stopping by them to rest cradled by the sea in a beautiful boat

We booked the boat for 4 and despite a lot of luggage everything fit inside. It is possible to shower on the boat but it is tiny, we preferred to shower in the port bathrooms which are accessible with access to the boat, it was very clean and deserted! The bedding is not comfortable at all but the experience was nice.
