Boat holiday rentals in Apennine Mountains

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We gad the most extraordinary time on the yacht. The boat itself was very beautiful. We loved visiting different towns; exploring, sailing and swimming! But it was our hosts who made the trip really special. Piero and Orlando looked after us so well. They were more like extended family than crew!

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.

Adventure for sure. We took our 6 and 10 year old hoping to find a different perspective of the island of Vis and this does just that. We met Kreso, the skipper, and he took us to the boat from the ferry. We knew we would paddle board into dinner and found a lovely restaurant,Boccadoro. Got back to the boat before the early summer storm and had a great thunderstorm sleep in the spacious cabins. Mornings are delightful. Kreso comes at 10am to take us to a beautiful cove of Stoncica where we had a liter of vugava and olives and warm bread on the beach. We had wonderful weather overnight. We met the skipper again and headed to the blue cave, tunnel and spend the afternoon near Rogačić ending in the bay of Vis to catch the ferry in the A.M. 1. Less is more except with warm evening wear and snacks, card games 2. Be flexible and adventurous. This is not a yacht, quarters are spacious but simple 3. Communication is key but also know NO one can control weather or your expectations.

We had a truly amazing experience on Andrey‘s catamaran! We were able to visit all the amazing locations we wanted, and Andrey knew a bunch of secret spots that were a great addition to our own plans. The local specialty octopus dinner that he arranged for us on Solta is not to be missed!! We would love to come back.

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 spent 2 nights on Vlado’s catamaran! It was a lovely time, filled with swimming turquoise waters, exploring islands, paddle boarding, relaxing on deck and listening to music. The boat was built by Vlado, and fit us well (please know it’s a boat— of course it’s tight quarters). There were two double beds that fit 2 people and a marine toilet bathroom in each room. Vlado sleeps on a pullout couch. There was a fridge and freezer, all the required kitchen utensils, and a two burner stove for cooking. Vlado told us ahead of time the route he’d take us on for our journey, which included spots like a blue lagoon, an abandoned military base, and a cove that nestled a quaint town. He also informed us of projected inclement weather in advance. Communication was a bit difficult as none of us knew the languages Vlado speaks, but honestly we still were able to chat and learn new words in Croatian! He was very responsive. Highly recommend and it was great for the money! Thank you Vlado!!

Superbe sejour familial Accueil et gentillesse Quelques détails nécessaires d'ajustement , mais la réactivité a été forte Nous reviendrons sans hesiter dans cette magnifique ile paisible

Excellent séjour en famille sur Antima, Port très agréable et convivial, Merci à Frédéric et sa femme.

Nous avons passé 4 nuits à bord de skylark à l'issue de notre périple en Italie : Une aventure extraordinaire et une expérience inédite : La vie au grand large tout en étant rattaché au port : Le must !!!! Notre séjour a été des plus agréables, le bateau est magnifique et se laissé bercé par les clapotis de l'eau, le top ! Nous avons pu observer le mouvement des paquebots amenant leur lot de touristes et cela a fasciné les enfants. L'accueil de Paolo a été fantastique, toujours en soucis que tout se passe bien à bord, prenant régulièrement des nouvelles et répondant très rapidement à nos questions. Un homme passionnant et passionné, une riche découverte. A certainement très bientôt à bord à nouveau !!! Un immense MERCI pour la confiance qui nous a été donnée. Nous recommandons vraiment cette étape à tous ceux qui souhaitent vivre une belle aventure, hors des sentiers battus !

Gabriel’s boat and crew were first class. Nothing was too much trouble….with their local knowledge and expert understanding of the Adriatic we were able to access and explore some exquisite locations. The boat was clean, well equipped and was perfect for the 5 of us. Big thanks to our captain Daniel & host Brigitta for making our journey so memorable.

We spent three nights on the boat with two adults and two children aged 7 and 5. The stay exceeded our expectations in every respect. The boat was surprisingly spacious, clean, well organised and maintained. Its location was superb, very quiet in the back of the port yet with a parking spot, clean showers and toilets next to the pontoon and within walking distance of the historic town centre with its many shops and restaurants, and to typical Italian beach clubs. Marco is a very attentive and communicative host who went out of his way to make us feel at home. On the last evening, we took our own floating home on a tour with him for a sunset apero at sea, which was an experience neither of us will forget. In all, can only recommend!

Es war eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gerne wiederholen würde. Das Boot ist sauber und liegt an einem ruhigen Ort. Wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt und eine angenehme Nacht verbracht.

Italo è una persona tanto gentile, disponibile, simpatica e molto professionale. Il soggiorno è stato fantastico, l'alloggio è bellissimo confortevole e curato nei minimi dettagli. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi come noi desidera ammirare la meravigliosa Costiera Amalfitana e vivere un'esperienza esclusiva.

très bonne communication, petit livret d'acceuil au top. nous étions 5 donc habitacle plutôt spacieux mais je déconseille aux personnes à forte corpulence. 3 ventilateurs mis à dispo l'emplacement est au calme et les voisins sympas. le port est bien animé ( bar + restaurant) et les sanitaires bien entretenus. je recommande sans hésiter

emplacement idéal pour laisser la voiture et faire tout à pied....calme car à l écart de la ville ( sauf feu d artifice le soir....que nous avons bien apprécié), la gare, à côté pour faire toutes les activités et un départ pour Capri, la côté Amalfitaine....bref, idéal....nous aurions souhaité faire la côte Amalfitaine de la mer, malheureusement le temps ne si prêtait pas....une prochaine fois.....

I cannot say enough good things about Antonio and the Alchemia. My wife and I spent 5 days aboard. I have experience being on a sailboat for long periods. Antonio is a skillful sailor, a great cook, and very knowledgeable about the area, the coast, and the beautiful islands. He knows the best spots for a peaceful, private beach, or great restaurants and nightlife. He knows the exactly where to take you. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend him.

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 🥰

Schöne Gegend, sauberes Wasser schwimmen und den Sonnenuntergang genießen. Erfahrung der extra Klasse. Kleine Kuchen zum Frühstück sehr lecker. Das Boot hat alles was man braucht Super Musik Sound Wasser mit Eiss am Kühlbox.... Ist zu empfehlen Danke Cristina &Luca

très bon accueil de la part de notre hôte, lieu insolite pour une nuit romantique, nous reviendrons avec plaisir 😊

Great place to stay for a night in Porto-Vecchio. Due to wind, the boat was docked at the port instead of out at sea during our stay which is unfortunate. But having an evening picnic on the bow of the boat surrounded by the city lights was nice. Overall, would recommend. Can’t comment on the boat when it’s at sea.

merveilleuse nuit à bord du voilier. très bonne expérience, des hôtes très accueillants et bien vaillants.

Grazie

Båten til Angelo var over all forventning! Det var god plass, godt utstyrt og utrolig hyggelig plassering - en skjult perle rett og slett! Angelo stilte med god frokost, det var rent og ryddig og masse vis av plass for både soling og hyggelige måltider. Båten ligger i tilegg godt plassert på havnen, med tilgang til gode restauranter og barer. Hit vil vi tilbake - anbefales på det varmeste!!
