Yacht charter in La Spezia · Authorized — 5terre (2012)

Fabrizio was a great host, he was very accommodating and helped us find a solution through a potential bad weather day. His boat was clean, well maintained, and he was understanding and very knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend renting with him, we had a great day out on the water!

Wonderful time on the boat today. Unbelievably beautiful weather and the boat was perfect. Fabry was so accommodating and helpful. We were novices with the boat, but he helped us feel capable and confident. Perfect day in Cinque Terre.

We made a beautifull cruise around cinque terre and neigbouring villages. Everything about the boat and the rental service went perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Almost everything was perfect! Nice boat, clear and quick communication. Why I say everything is because it wasn’t communicated beforehand that a 40eu fee for accessing Cinque Terre had to be paid afterwards as well. Still worth the money anyway, but would be nicely to tell upfront. Recommended for a nice day on the water!

Fabrizio was a wonderful host! He answer every question I had before we booked quickly and thoroughly. His boat was comfortable and all we needed for our use. The check in/checkout was seamless and the value could not be beat. Rent from him! He’s the best!!

Super friendly service, quick responses and spoke English well! Boat was great and we were given a thorough map with a suggested route for our day. Loved it!

Perfect day on the water!

all good only no fridge

We had the best day on Fabrizio’s boat! He was very quick to respond, very friendly and accommodating as he drove the boat to a port closer to us to pick us up! The boat was very easy to drive, and such a gorgeous way to see the five lands. The only thing was we weren’t pre-warned that we had to pay 60 euro for fuel and 40 euro for land tax. There was an esky on board, but could have used ice! Other than that, great day! Thanks Fabrizio

Fabrizio have us Lots of Tips regarding the travel.

Awesome experience! The boat was easy to maneuvre, Fabrizio was very pleasant, and he even suggested an itinerary! You must see Cinque Terre this way!

Excellent experience all round. Would definitely recommend.

Nice boat and great communication with the owner. But the marina on the website is the wrong one and there was just a cooler to put ice in and no fridge. Two options we looked for specially. Quick and easy getting the boat and get to know everything. Also the tour we where suggested was very good and we had a great day on the water and beautiful view on all the small towns and cliffs.

We had a great day with Fabrizios boat, the meeting point is a bit outside the center of La Spezia. Communication was fast and easy

Absolutely the most amazing day! Fabrizio is such a wonderful host, very helpful. Perfect boat for getting about & seeing some of the most amazing coast. Also loved the shower. Definitely recommend!

Very friendly and good introduction to the boat details. Boat is beautiful.

Had a very nice day on the boat! Everything was very clean and fabrizio was very good in communication.

This is my first time driving a boat. The boat was easy to control and we have a lot of fun using this boat. The host is very friendly and offers me a short beginner driving lesson. The boat didn’t consume too much fuel and we went to a lot of places and used 37L of fuel.

Really easy to communicate with Fabrizio. Even on short notice, there was enough time to prepare the trip.

My bf and I had a great time aboard Fabrizio’s boat. We did not have any prior experience with this type of boat and Fabrizio gave us clear explanations to how everything worked. Fabrizio gave us excellent recommendations as to what we should see and do. He also told us to download a navigation app which was very helpful during our boating excursion. All in all, we highly recommend booking with Fabrizio and we will undoubtedly book with him again when we’ll return to Cinque Terre! Grazie Mille Fabrizio !

Fabrizio is very nice and the description of the boat matched with what we got. Good boat, good price for quality.I strongly recommend. Thomas

Wonderful day at sea, we were able to see all the villages of the Cinque Terre from the sea, we even had the chance to have dolphins around us for an hour. unforgettable. Fabrizio is very nice and gives very good advice. To do without hesitation

Great day. Cinque terre is so much better to watch from sea than in the towns self

We had a lovely tour of the Gulf of Poets and the Cinqueterre with swimming stops along the way. Fabrizio was an excellent host and skipper knowing the.beat places to stop and swim. We did have some difficulty coordinating the meeting arrnagements despite taking the initiative to make a plan a few days before. I didn't have data roaming on my phone and there were any wifi hotspots at the harbour, and when I tried to phone Fabrizio didn't answer his phone. There was also some confusion about whether we were taking the boat with a skipper which we had booked. Bad after a bad start we ended up having a very enjoyable day. Thank you Fabrizio.

Fabrizio was extremely understand when we arrived late after not realising the distance from the station. Fabrizio spent the time to explain how to navigate around not only La Spezia but also Cinque Terre. Would definitely book again if we returned for another holiday

Amazing day hire. Boat is exactly as described and pickup and drop off couldn’t be easier.

Fabrizio was communicative and super accommodating. He replied right away to our inquiry, answered any questions we had and even delivered the boat for a seamless check-in/check out. The boat was well maintained and great to drive. We had the best time!!

Fabrizio was welcoming and friendly. We did not have any prior experience with driving a boat, but he gave us an introductory lesson, albeit very quick and fast paced. He did not trust us driving the boat by ourselves at first (which is understandable), but he still allowed us to go without a skipper. The boat itself was responsive and felt very safe. Overall amazing experience viewing Cinque Terre from the coast and I would definitely recommend!

What a fantastic day out! We had an amazing time, it was a surprise trip for my husband’s birthday and we took all 3 kids with us. Fabrizio was great, communicated via WhatsApp and we were really happy with the boat and whole experience. The boat was beautiful. We anchored at a couple of places and jumped off/swam, and we moored up at Porto Venere for a delicious lunch. Thanks Fabrizio !

TOP SERVICE!!

Fantastic!!!

Nice boat, well maintained. Fabrizio was a great in the pre-rental contact and explained everything nice and thorough before departure.

Very friendly, answers fast and quite uncomplicated

Everything worked like we hoped it to do! Fabrizio was very kind and courteous. He gave us a good and clear introduction into the boat and some tips for our tour we couldn’t await…. All in all - extraordinarily great!

Fabrizio is a very nice host and we had an amazing day on the boat! Would totally recommend him!

I’ve had the worst experience ever with Fabrizio. The communication was very, very, very poor. First of all he told me to pay the €500 deposit in cash (even though the site says it goes by creditcard). I told him I was not comfortable with carrying that much cash with me (especially in a country I did not know). He did not respond to any of my messaged about that. I also wanted to change the date but he never replied to that also. Then I wanted to cancel because the weather forecast said it would thunder and rain but he didn’t want to cancel it (I even had and weather insurance) and wanted to wait until the morning of the booking. This way we could not make other plans and had to wait for his response. After receiving little to no information about the time and date, we (finally) agreed te meet at 11:30. My train had a big delay (which was definitely not our fault) so we were late to the meeting (which I kept him updated about). After telling him I would arrive in 10 minutes it was complete silence. We waited there for around 30 / 40 minutes. I tried to call him 4 times and he just ignored me. Also on whatsapp I could see that he would come online multiple times but I never got a response. Once I called him out on the fact that I saw that he was online for the 4th time and failed to respond he texted me back that he was gone. €300 down the drain because of this. We were looking forward to this day but Fabrizio completely ruined this for us. So I would definitely NOT recommend this renter if you wat to be sure you get a boat ride.

Very kind and professional skipper which know nice places to visit cinque terre and also places to have a bath. Highly recommended :-)

Fabrizio was very fast in responding and easy to talk to, we had a great day navigating to multiple cinque Terra locations and beautiful bays to take a swim. The boat performed perfectly. We expect to plan such a day shortly!

We where a family of four renting a yacht. We had a great time and everything went well. Fabrizio was professionel and communication before booking was class. I can highly recommend this boat.

We had an awesome day with Fabrizio's boat and with himself. For me one of the best ways to experience Cinque Terre. The whole communication was good. The boat was in a very good condition. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy. A clear recommendation!

It was just perfect day, with a nice boat and very good service

Boat was nice and in good condition. It really made fun to drive. Fabrizio is a funny guy and gave us some good tips on where to go. Would book his boat again, if I revisit La Spezia.

Great responsiveness from Fabrizio who messaged quickly after our booking request. We picked the boat up and had a great day out on the water around Porto Venere, however there are a few things we new in advance. As Cinque Terre is such a busy area for boating you are not allowed within several hundred metres of the shore line north from Riomaggiore or risk fines. We had expected to dock and explore the towns or have lunch but were then unable to leave the boat. Make sure you pack enough for a full day on the open water or coastline away from villages. We perhaps in ignorance should have expected additional fuel costs but this was not mentioned on the advert and when he explained the fuel limit it seemed like we were allowed to use a certain amount. On return of the boat we then had to spend another half an hour on the boat while he re-fueled so we could pay which was tedious.

Absolutely amazing experience and great value for money. Fabrizio had an impeccable knowledge of the local scenery and took us to all of the best spots for swimming, snorkelling , cliff jumping, bathing and arranged a fabulous lunch. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Everything went smoothly. We were picked up from location convenient to us. Boat was easy to drive. Fabrizio showed us locations to visit.

Great and fun day exploring around La Spezia and Cinque Terra. Fabrizio Was very friendly and gave us some good recommendations on additional places to see including some villages as beautiful as those the the reserve. Only improvement would be that the sun roof couldn’t be used while traveling and also the shower ran out of water v quickly.

Fabricio is a nice guy, gave a some valuable tips, a rally good trip and a perfect day! Many thanks, John

Everything as expected. Fabrizio is very responsive (unlike other owners who sometimes take more than a day to reply to a simple message) and friendly. Absolutely recommend.

Impecable

Fantastic experience and great value for your money. They were accommodating and made things easy. We were a family of 3 and the boat had all we needed. Happy to book with Fabrizio again in the future.

Fabrizio was very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed every minute of our boat experience and would highly recomend it for your Cinque Terre experience!

Cruising around La Spezia and Cinque Terra in Fabrizio's boat was an unforgettable experience, and easily the highlight of our vacation in Northern Italy. Fabrizio's boat was straight forward to operate, and it seemed well maintained. Communication/language barrier was an issue in the days leading up to the rental and meeting up with Fabrizio. Fabrizio tried to warn us that sea conditions may be too rough, which we took to mean that we wouldn't be able to rent his boat--which caused a lot of worry. But this was a misunderstanding caused by the language barrier. Meeting Fabrizio was also challenging because there was a technology glitch in the google maps coordinates he sent us as a meeting point. The coordinates sent us to the wrong area of the Marina, and the language barrier made it very challenging to communicate his actual location. Once we found him, Fabrizio was very helpful in pointing out some places near La Spezia to check out, as well as a recommended route out to sea and along Cique Terra. Overall, despite some communication issues, this was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend Fabrizio's boat to anyone.

Our Boat Day in Cinque Terre was the highlight of our trip! Fabrizio was great. The communication was good and quick. He also provided us tips and guidance on where to go. The boat was easy to manage and fun to ride! I would definitely rent the boat again from him if we visit the area again. :)

Nice boat to discover the area and everything works fine onboard. Nice longer daily rental time compared to others. Fabrizio very responsive and friendly. To improve: Fuel tank gauge seemed to display always as “Full”, also in calm waters. Bimini starting to tear off but still holding on. It would be nice to get “recommended mooring spots” based on the current day conditions (wind&waves), not just an informal list of them, since there are many.

Thank you Fabrizio for helping make this a great experience.

We had a fabulous experience exploring the Cinque Terre with Fabrizio (we had him skipper for us, too). We have boys aged 3, 5, and 7, and they had so much fun. Unfortunately a rainstorm cut our day trip short but fortunately Fabrizio anticipated it so we got to shore without getting drenched. Heads up to parents that Fabrizio does not allow children to wear life jackets on the boat, rather he brings their size along on the boat. Also, bring your own power cord if you want to charge any devices. It was really nice to have the fresh water shower after snorkeling! The views were amazing and I’m convinced this was the best way to explore the Cinque Terre with young kids.

We were running a bit late. Arrived 15 minutes late but Fabrizio was still waiting for us and was still friendly and helpful. We had a good chat about the boat and he told us everything we had to know about boat, area and anything else necessary. Also every other question, he answered very friendly! We can recommend Fabrizio to every one! And of course the boat was great too! We loved the trip with his boat!

We had a wondelful daytrip with this boat around cinque terre and La Spezia! Everything perfect organized, from communication, parking to a clean perfect completed boat. We used the boat with 5 person, perfect for the family. We can really recommend Fabrizios rental services!

Everything was excellent, nice boat exactly as described. I can recommend Fabrizio ´s boat and service. We had a beautiful day visiting Cinque Terre.

Fabrizio provided an amazing service! Boat was in excellent condition and he provided a cooler for drinks, and even made an extra effort to get the boat to our location. Very happy and would highly recommend.

Nice experience with Fabrizio

Trip did not happen due to weather. Skipper did not cancel the booking which was already paid for and no refund has been issued till today. Clickandboat customer service are the worst and no assistance has been provided. worst experience ever and basically lost over euros 180 of my money. Fabrizio not responsive nor to messages nor to emails for the refund after the cancellation. DO NOT RECOMMEND

We enjoyed an excellent day on Fabrizio’s boat. The boat was exactly as advertised and worked well. He sent good instructions on where to meet and was very prompt. It is an easy motor to the Cinque Terre, taking about an hour to Riomaggiore. It is then about 10-15 minutes between the villages. It is possible to go ashore at Vernazza. You can moor just outside the small harbour, and Tonino will come and get you in his small boat. It is busy at lunch time so you may have a wait. There are a number of places to moor and swim along the way. All in all a terrific day. Mark

Everything was just perfect. The boat is as described and in good condition. Fabrizio very nice and easy going and he responded very fast on all of our questions. Thanks for this wonderful day on sea and the uncomplicated booking.

Everything went well. Fabrizio was helpful and we had a great time in Cinque Terre. Fabrizio explained everything before leaving the port. However we had to pay 20 euros for the entrace of the Cinque Terre Parc, this was not communicated at the beginning of our trip. He told us after our trip. In general the boat and the trip reached our expectations.

We had a fabulous day exploring in Cinque Terre at our own pace without crowds and good advice on places to swim and where to go from fabrizio. Communication with fabrizio was easy and he was prompt with meeting us and showing us the boat. The only problem we encountered was that the day went too quickly .

Fabrizio made our day in Cinque Terre magical. We not only stopped in the towns that we could but he took us to caves and places to go snorkeling that were out of this world. Fabrizio, is a wonderful genuine person who went above and beyond and really made sure our whole family had the most amazing time. I would highly recommend you book with Fabrizio if you are visiting Cinque Terre

The best way to see the cinque terra. Amazing to swim off the boat and explore all the villages

We had a fantastic day on Fabrizio's boat. I suggest buying snacks and drinks before you arrive. Fabrizio will meet you at the marina and will navigate the boat out of the marina before getting off. This made it very stress free. He will also order you the necessary permit for Cinque Terre and text it to you so you have it if stopped. The cost for the permit is $20. We spent the day seeing the villages from the water and stopping and swimming. There are many places to tie the boat up and swim. We kept the boat a around 3000 RPMS. It goes much faster but we were trying to conserve gas. Once we returned to the marina Fabrizio met us and got on board to go fill the tank. We spent all day on the boat and used less than a half tank. It was $50 euros to fill up. We had a perfect day and I cannot recommend Fabrizio's boat enough. It was such a great way to see Cinque Terre. We saw the ferry boats going from village to village and they were cramped with tourists. We were so happy we were able to enjoy it all on our own.

Boat is perfect, very well maintained. We loved bimini, refrigerator and shower. Fabrizo communicated very well, explained everything and gave us some great tips for visiting.

We did a daily trip along the Cingue Terra coast with Fabrizio on 22nd july, 2018. It was a fascinating journey with a very friendly and uncomplicated captain:) The price was quiet affortable, compared to that offered on the La Spezia promenade. Fabrizio speaks a pretty good english. This trip should be the highlight of our Liguria vocation. Many thanks and mille gracia Mark and Olga

The boat in very good shape and Fabrizio was charming and nice. I recommend !

Renting Fabrazio’s boat for the day was the absolute highlight of my trip through europe. My partner and I spent the entire day exploring the cinque terre and surrounding coastline. Fabrazio was very easy and happy to help with any questions we had. Unfortunately something blocked the fuel line at the end of the day as we were pulling into the harbour (luckily) however within 5 minutes, Fabrizio came to us and helped us get everything working again. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the cinque terre to rent Fabrizios boat for the whole day or two! Thanks Fabrizio!

Boat in great shape and conform to the description. Fabrizio was very welcoming and helpfull : I recommend !

Fabrizio has a perfect boat, perfect suitable for a nice trip to the Cinque Terre and back. Although the rental was on short notice, everthing went fine and Frabrizio was on time on the location. He took the time to explain the working of the boat and give us praticle information. Fabrizio replies quickly on massages. WE have had a very nice day.

I found Fabrizio to be extremely helpful and accommodating. I was worried the idea of renting a boat to drive ourselves would be more than we could handle and would be complicated, but Fabrizio made the whole experience very easy, comfortable and was extremely helpful. Highly recommend renting his boat as a fun excursion for a small group to see the Cinque Terre from the sea, or visit the other beautiful places nearby on the coast!

Hiring a boat from Fabrizio for the day was pretty perfect. Easy to confirm and connect with Fabrizio, the instructions for pick-up were easy and we enjoyed our boat, exploring the 5 villages by sea. When we were done, Fabrizio was waiting for us just as he said he would and he let us out right where he picked us up. All as planned, and the boat was in great shape. I can only hope to make it back to La Spezia and Cinque Terre so I can rent from Fabrizio again!

Fabrizio has been an excellent captain. We had an amazing experience on his boat. He took care of all the details. Everything was as expected, the boat, the captain, the itinerary suggested, etc. We would enthusiastically recommend Fabrizio and his boat!

I recommand this boat and the owner of the boat ( Fabrizio) was a very Nice person, who explained everything very clearly. Everything was good arranged. Compliments

Fabrizio is very friendly. The boat is good and easy to drive. Wonderfull day.

We had a superb experience with Fabrizio. Our boat day around Cinque Terre was easily our favorite day of the trip - such an amazing way to see the area (and without all the tourists). We would highly recommend it!

Awesome experience, only way to see cinque terre! Fabrizio was great to deal with. Thank you, we will

Such a great time! Fabrizio helped us with everything and was very accommodating. His boat is ideally located for exploring the cinque terre by sea. Amazing. Honestly, best thing we’ve done in a while. We passed all these people with little hand-steered motor boats that they rented from the towns themselves and could hear them talking about how they should have rented this boat. Highly highly recommend.

We had a very good time on Fabrizio's boat. The boat is perfect to enjoy the good weather on the sea. We highly recommend it. Thanks again !

The boat is great, strong but also handy. And Fabrizios explanations were brief and very precise. We had a fabulous day trip.

We had a very nice boat day around cinque terre. Boat is ok, everything is inside, and owner very nice and give good advice

Fabrizio Is a very nice guy..

everything was great. Fabrizio was very helpful and we enjoyed the experience very much

Thanks Fabrizio, it was a great afternoon with your boat at Cinqueterre ;-)

amazing cruise in cinque terre. Fabrizio was a perfect captain. i absolutely recommend him!!

We have been really well welcome, Fabrizio showed us really nice places and the boat was totally alined to our expectations. Really positive experience

We had a very pleasant trip to cinque Terre - the boat was clean and prepared - fabricio very nice and competent - he knows the area well and we had a wonderful time on the boat - thank you

Fabrizio arrived on time and for returning the boat. Everything worked well and Fabrizio's local knowledge was very helpful for our plan. The boat was reliable and comfortable and with required safety equipment. Just had to make sure I asked the right questions. Speaking French helped as I spoke little Italian and his French was much better than English.
