We had booked another boat trip and they canceled and refused to find us a spot even with four days we gave to be squeezed in. So while at a place with bad wi fi I booked this trip and thank god we did! I will say they need better signage to find them a few folks were lost and late and our taxi driver was really convinced we were at the wrong dock. We were not. So they squeezed in two different boat tours due to the rain and we did things a little off their normal itinerary. So we did a lot of swim stops but not the cave, due to waves and wind. We did get to swim by the castle and see Procida. First, it's a family affair and they were all a delight. Silvio the captain helped my husband when he hurt himself ( don't jump off the top of the boat in a dive, just do not do it). His sons are a big part of swimming with you, translating the tour into multiple languages... his wife is the chef and a showman producing giant vats of pasta with mussels, massive burrata, salads, just a feast! She is somehow making delicious food in a tiny boat kitchen and served with drama, flare and joy. If you go to Procida take the tour because the boats don't land at the pretty part of the island, and things can be closed for siesta. This trip was full of fun, joy, great food, company and I can't recommend it high enough. Go bring yourself some Italian family hospitality and the joy from being served with love and care while in their hands. It was fun to bond with strangers from all over the world as we shared our marvel of the beauty of the scenery, the fun of the swims, the fun of the boat staff and food and drink. We all climbed off that boat with smiles on our face, our humanity expanded and bonding with strangers on vacation.

The best boat ride we have been on! Went round to lots of beautiful swimming spots, fed the most delicious homemade food with unlimited wine. The crew were so friendly and funny. Could not recommend more!

Simply dreamy. We had read the very good reviews, but in reality, they were even surpassed. Everything written so far is more than accurate. We were a mixed group from all over the world and had a lot of fun together, especially with the Alcione family. Pure hospitality, perfect food, and lovely drinks were the icing on the cake for an already great tour. We would and will definitely do this tour again.
