Boat holiday rentals in Francavilla al Mare

A pleasant change of pace for a couple days during our Italy trip. The hosts were hospitable and made us feel very welcome. We even opted to have them provide us with a home cooked Italian meal on the deck of the Akhir which was lovely. They also offer cruising options for those looking to do some more serious exploring. Would definitely recommend for those looking for something other than the usual airbnb experience.

Giuseppe was the most amazing host ever! He helped us plan and execute the trip of a lifetime. We went to stunning restaurants on the beaches along the coast, spent our nights in gorgeous towns, and he entertained and took great care of us while we sailed and swam. He is a very patient man:) We will absolutely be back! He made an unforgettable trip even more special than we could’ve hoped for. Arriverdverci Italy…till next time!🇮🇹⛵️❤️

THE PLACE TO BE IN NAPOLI !!! What a great experience at Pierluigi's boat. I highly recommend this location very clean, cosy and very close from the city center. You'll have a great time with Pierluigi I will come back with a great pleasure

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!!!

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.

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!!!!

We stayed 3 nights on the sailboat. Giuseppe is very good and friendly. We hired the food and the chef, Antonella is very rich, she helped us with lactose-free alternatives. We were touched by hot and humid days even at night because of the season chosen. They must wear extra payments for sleeping in the ports for example 200 and 350 euros in Amalfi and Capri respectively. On the contrary, if you want to go down only in one place, you must pay taxis of 40 and 150 euros in Positano and Capri (value includes a trip to and from the sailboat).

Our party of four arrived into Castellammare Di Stabia about midnight, but this was no trouble for the host who greeted us and saw us to the boat. We learnt that the toilets and shower facilities were not actually on the boat itself but instead were part of the harbour facilities. However, they were very clean and always available and I think we all appreciated not having to share the boat with a toilet! The two bedrooms were great, one was smaller and more cramped than the other, but that is what you get with a boat! Each morning when we woke, we were greeted by the majestic views of Mount Vesuvius across the Bay of Naples. The town itself is lively with restaurants and cafes, and the boat is only a 10 minute walk to the train station that has direct links to Sorrento and Naples, including stops for Pompeii and Vesuvius at around 3 euros return per person which is fantastic. We used the front of the boat to sunbathe and the back has a table with comfy seating around which was perfect for gorging on cheap bottles of wine and olives. The kitchen was completely out of use so we had to eat out each night. There was also a bad smell on the boat which came from the waste pipes but went after opening the windows. Something of a must if you visit here is the Funiviar which gives breathtaking views of Castellammare di Stabia! In all honesty, this was a fantastic place to live for four nights. It is great value for money as well! We all had a lovely time on board and would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a more unique experience on the bay of Naples!

Clean environment, very spacious for 3 people, always friendly and helpful staff

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.

We spent the last night here after a week of traveling in Puglia and it was a great choice - a change, adventure and a night on the water was a very pleasant experience.

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 🥰

Italo is such a kind, helpful, friendly and very professional person. The stay was fantastic, the place is beautiful, comfortable and cared for in every detail. I highly recommend it to those like us who want to admire the wonderful Amalfi Coast and live an exclusive experience.

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.

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.

We were super satisfied with our experience at the boat! The boat is located in a really nice and calm marina, close to the city center. Would highly recommend ☺️
