Boat trip to Ischia and Procida was something out of a dream. The boat was beautiful, comfortable and spotless. Luca, our Captain, grew up on the water nearby and shared so much interesting information about the area and its history. They took us to a seaside restaurant on Ischia that was accessable only by boat. It had to be the most beautiful place in the world. Lots of swimming off the boat, snorkeling equipment if you wanted it. This trip was the highlight of our trip.

I love the Mery Rose and even more, I love the energetic, friendly people who crew this magnificent, completely updated boat. There is no better way to spend a hot summer day than to cruise from some gorgeous Amalfi Coast port to a tranquil cove or beach for a day of swimming and relaxing. A day at sea is the ultimate luxury and completely worth the expense. The captain, Nello, is young, adorable (a requirement of all Italian captains apparently), experienced and takes great pride in his boat and the Sorrento area where he was raised. He is capably supported by the personable and helpful Angelo on board, as well as by Teresa, who is a delight to work with when planning your day. And it is, your day. While they have many great itineraries, they are mere suggestions. Teresa and Nello want the day to be about what you as a guest enjoy. Snacks, drinks, and fresh fruit flow. Want ice cream? Like magic, the ice cream man arrives in a boat! Looking for some out-of-the-way lunch spot where they come get you in a dingy to take you to a local, family-run waterfront restaurant? Nello knows them all and you will feel like a rock star walking in. Speaking of that, spend the minimal extra fee for pick up and drop off at the small, private marina in Sorrento. Not only will you feel like Mick Jagger, you will feel even smarter as you will have no wait whatsoever, unlike all of the other boats bobbing around waiting to get in and out. This was our sixth time on this boat and it is hands-down what brings us back to Italy during the crazy, busy summer. The best people. Impeccable service. The gorgeous locale. Nothing beats floating in the warm, clear blue water with the unforgettable view of the iconic Amalfi coastline from the Mery Rose.

My wife and I did a private day cruise to Ischia and Procida from Positano for our Anniversary and had an incredible time. Our captain Luca was very friendly and made sure we had the best experience imaginable, bringing us to several beautiful spots around Procida and Ischia to go swimming and take in the sights, as well as pour some Prosecco! We had an amazing experience and would recommend to anybody!
