boat hire in Sorrento · Salento Marine — Elite 19s (2023)

Brilliant rental from start to finish, communication was by far the quickest and easiest out of all companies. The boat was very good for 4 people and great on fuel travelling the whole Amalfi coast. Would certainly recommend anyone to use.

Simple and easy

Great day with our skipper, Stefano!! Highly recommend Francesco :) he also helped us organize a ride to and from the port!!

It was an incredible experience, I recommend it to everyone who finds themselves on holiday in this area. The guys at the port were friendly and knowledgeable and the boat was perfect. Especially the suzuki engine that had just been put on this year I liked a lot, very powerful and very very economical. In my opinion the best value for money!

Excellent boat for the money. We were 4 and the skipper. We were able to go from Maiori to Capri, around it, have lunch in Capri and have sone stops on the way back. Great skipper: Elio. He was able to accommodate our needs. Would definitely rent it again.

Reception was very stressful as there was no berth in the harbor. The little explanation at the handover took place on the boat in the middle of the harbor. The oil pressure warning light flashed when the boat was handed over - the owner said "no problem". Anyway, the day towards Capri and back was very nice. The handover after the trip was even more stressful than the one in the morning as there was no berth. It was almost like a "boarding maneuver" by another boat. Pay €80 for fuel - get out quickly - and goodbye - that was it. That's what we thought, but then the cheeky thing happened in the evening: at dinner we received a WhatsApp with a photo showing a hole in the side of the boat with the succinct text "Damage, we have to pay". You would have needed a pickaxe for a hole like the one shown! A bottomless cheek and an attempt at a cheap rip-off. It's a shame that landlords like this destroy the reputation of an agency like that. In any case, I would definitely not recommend booking with this tenant, or I would remove this tenant from the agency.

Nice experience !

It was a horrible experience. Initially, when the boat was delivered to us, we asked if it was in good condition, asking especially if the anchor was in the boat and if it was okay, to which the two people who delivered the boat to us answered that yes, that everything was ok When we wanted to anchor near a beach, when we dropped the anchor, it was untied, so we lost it at the bottom. Obviously that produced that we could not remain anchored in any place. Then upon returning, before entering the dock, two boats and a motorcycle with approximately 7 people were waiting for us, where one of them approached and got on the boat. When he got on he immediately went to check the anchor (very strange that it was so fast) and when he saw that it was not there, he began to point out that we should pay him 100 euros. We explained the situation to him and pointed out that it was a problem for both parties because we had asked him if he was okay at anchor and they had told us yes. Then they started yelling at us and the situation turned awkward and aggressive. They also began to say that we had to pay 100 euros more for gasoline, that that was what it cost to Capri and I replied that FRANCESCO had told me that we had to pay for the gasoline consumed or used, that he never spoke to me about a fixed price for gasoline, because so I asked him to take us to a service station and see how much it filled up with. This annoyed them more, so before a very aggressive discussion where they threatened us not to move from the place until we paid them, we decided to agree to pay 70 euros for gasoline and 50 euros for the anchor. As if that were not enough, once everything had been paid, we asked him to please leave us at the pier since one of the people who came with me urgently needed to go to the bathroom, but when he realized that the Police were in the port asking for the boat papers, they did not want to enter the pier (apparently they did not have any boat papers) so they went in and out again and again, changing drivers and shouting from one boat to another that the Police were there . All this scared us a lot since they kept us in the sea for at least 1 hour. When things began to get difficult, because the person who wanted to go to the bathroom was very distressed, they asked us to tell the Police that one of them was pregnant so that we could get out quickly, but we did not do it because we knew It was so they wouldn't go through the police. Then they told us that they were going to leave us in another port and before this we began to yell at the police because they really looked like pirates. We constantly repeated that they should leave us at the correct port, because we also had the motorcycles in that place and one of them told us that they would pay us for the transfer to return to the initial port. Finally, after all this ordeal, when they left us in a private port, we asked them to pay us for the transfer or a taxi for 6 people and after a discussion since they did not want to pay us, they gave us 50 euros IT WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE, with rude, dishonest people who wanted to take advantage of a situation in the worst way. I DO NOT RECOMMEND RENTING WITH THIS COMPANY EVER!!!
