Yacht charter in Amalfi · Primatist — G50 (2024)

My husband and I are deeply disappointed about our experience and treatment after booking Andrea on his Primatist G50 for a tour of the Amalfi coast. It was storming and terrible sea conditions that morning, however he never canceled or cautioned us about how bad the sea was. We only realized this once we boarded the boat after waiting almost an hour until the sea was safe enough to take a water taxi out. Once on the boat, the sea conditions were so terrible that he could barely drive forward because the waves were crashing down on his windshield so we just rocked back and forth in the storm and could barely see in front of us. We never received a briefing about the day plan, the boat, or any safety information including where the lifejackets were which would have been helpful given the conditions. He took us to the worst part of the storm where the waves and weather only became worse. Given the awful conditions, we became very seasick. We asked for Dramamine or any seasickness medication he may have however due to the English-Italian language barrier he couldn’t understand what we needed. His shipmate did go down to look for something in the lower deck, but we never saw him again the remainder of the trip. After another 10 minutes passed, we used a translator app and the captain found Benadryl for infants in his medical kit. The waves continued to worsen. It was raining so we could not be out on the deck of the ship. At one point it was raining so bad, the captain had to open his windshield to see because the water crashing on the windshield have him no visibility. My wife became progressively ill and we had no choice to ask him to return us to shore. He was hesitant to (or language barrier), but we managed to get us back to a water taxi to take us back to land. We were on the boat suffering the waves and rain for about 30-50 minutes. I reached out to Andrea the next day to see if he could take us out since the weather forecast was much more favorable and no storms were on the forecast. He said he could, but that it would be an entire new booking and that it would an additional 2900 Euros. I told him this is completely unacceptable, we already paid for a boat charter but were unable to use it; and he replied with that “the weather was not that severe.” We understand that the weather is unpredictable and out of our control which is why we purchased both the Weather Guarantee and Mondial Assistance for scenarios such as this. However, when we reached out to the insurance company they claimed “the weather was fine,” and refused to give us any type of compensation for our troubles. Highly urge against purchasing the insurance as if this storm didn’t count, nothing will. It cost us over $4,000 for about 45 minutes of a nauseating boat ride due to the extreme sea conditions. The insurance was useless and only added to the price. Highly caution against this company and driver, I’m sure if the weather is nice it would be worth it but retrospect, wasn’t worth the risk if the weather isn’t favorable.

We had such a lovely day on the water with Andrea. He was so friendly and did an amazing job at showing us around Italy. i absolutely recommend his service as we had such an amazing day! We can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Spent a great day with family. Andrea is first and foremost a great person, and an amazing captain, very welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. It was our first time in the Amalfi coast and certainly will not be the last. Will certainly book again. Can’t wait!
