boat hire in La Spezia · Salpa — Sunsix (2024)

This is the best boat in porta mirabello ,we had the best time of our lives,the skipper was nice accommodating and he is a 100/100 🥰thank you for the experience 🥰

The boat was pretty much brand new and exactly as described on the listing, so 5* in that regard. We found Giacomo a bit aggressive. He clearly wasn't happy that we arrived an hour late as he was brash when giving final 'walk here' instructions over the phone when we arrived at the dock and repeated "you must tell me" several times with regards to being late (everything in life is bi-directional, you could've called us too asking where we were). We'd paid in advance for the whole day so did not think being late would cause Giacomo to be moody when we arrived. On drop-off it was identified we'd slightly damaged the underside of the bow by causing some scrapes to the paint when attempting to dock at a destination. When this was spotted, being told once "it's damaged, you'll need to pay" would've been fine. Instead, the point was repeated several times by Giacomo which came off condescending, brash and again, aggressive. It could've been handled very differently to make us not feel like we'd royally f***** up... When the situation with the damage was unfolding Giacomo mentioned how this has happened lots of times before. Well some stern direct feedback would be = rather than let it keep happening and treating people who damage the boat like a naughty schoolchild when they return, perhaps invest a small amount of money to line the underside of the bow with some 'fuzzy felt' styled material to prevent people from scratching, scraping or even denting the boat when docking... Bit baffled you've not thought of that before tbh with you...

Everything was perfect! Would recommend it

Everything was smooth and fine. Thanks for amazing time on the boat.

Salpa Sunsix 115hp. Communication with the team on their site before confirming the boat and after via whatsapp for check-in was quick and clear. The boat was in great condition with a chart plotter, fresh water wash on the transom, electric windlass for the anchor and sufficient shade. The boat went will with 4 adults on board, even in the rough water we had. With the condition of the boat and the professional service of the team, we will definitely use them again. Thank you Giacomo and Alessandro!

Great team and owner, excellent welcome, boat in perfect shape (everything almost new) and with all the equipment one could need. A perfect boat to discover hidden beaches, visit the islands etc. Fast and super easy to maneuver. Happy to come back soon.

Amazing boat and service. Giacomo made it very easy and comfortable trip. Great charter for a day. Explained what to do and not to do in Conque Terre … where it is allowed and not allowed to go. Explained great places to take a swim and where to moor at anchor and buoys

The front seat cushion was smaller than it should be. We had to pay extra $ to a rowing boat to take us to Vernazza and it was not mentioned. Skipper was not a professional.

The boat was very new and had plenty of power. Good for groups of 4-6 or a family. Cinque Terre park is 10kn max speed limit and 5kn within 500m of land. We cruised up to Monterosso and then worked our way back. We found the only real place to go on land for lunch was at Vernazza, where you can grab a public mooring out the front and a water taxi will take you into shore. Try and get in early or make sure you have a booking as the crowds were huge for such a small little town. The best spot for swimming was back at the start of Riomaggiore.

Thank you so much Giacomo for your kind and friendly welcome! We’ve had a great day at sea with your nice boat! 🙏🏻👌🏻

The boat and Giacomo where perfect! We had a wonderful day at Cinque Terre!!! We can highly recommend him and his boats!! Thanks and see you soon!

Thanks to Giacomo and Marco for this great day. The boat is almost new, there is a fridge available (mandatory in summer), all the equipment to sail safe, and the seats are comfortable. If you want power, you will have it. Enough to have great sensations on the sea. We really enjoyed our day ! For your information, if you sail at something like 7-8 knots, it consumes 4-5L/h. For the day, we consumed around 50 liters. I highly recommend Giacomo’s boat !

My wife and I had the most wonderful day in this lovely boat. It had all the amenities we needed for a great boating day. We would highly recommend it to anyone. the advice given by Giacomo on what places to visit and his suggestion for lunch was second to none. A day to cherish. Thank you again

Excellent boat, excellent service. Thank you!!!

Excellent service, beautiful boat! Giacomo and the Salpa Sunsix are a strong recommendation for my part! :)
