boat hire in Naples · Dufour — 430 Gl (2021)
Description of Giulio's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour 430 Gl 14m
The boat is a comfortable 14 meters, new, built in 2021, with four cabins (three with double beds, one with bunk beds), for a total of 8 beds plus two more beds that can be obtained by knocking down the table in the dinette (maximum 10 people). The boat has two bathrooms with showers; another shower is outside on the stern. It is equipped with all navigation aids: autopilot, GPS chart, wind station, depth sounder, VHF etc. The mooring in the center of Naples also allows you to take advantage of the boat holiday to visit the historical part of the city, the royal palace, the Borgo dei Marinari, the San Carlo theater, unique museums such as the Chapel of San Severo with the very famous Veiled Christ, the underground city and many other things. Restaurants and typical pizzerias are a bit 'everywhere in the area and, be sure, someone can' be better than another but no one leaves dissatisfied! Dive equipment with and without self-contained breathing apparatus is available on request.

Many thanks to Giulio who made this a perfect experience from start to finish. He answered very quickly, proposed different options of routes and solved all of our queries. The boat is very new, comfortable and well maintained. All the equipment works perfectly and the boat was impeccable on arrival. The welcome tour was very structured and relaxed and we took the time to fully understand the boat, safety, the equipment, the paperwork and any specific instructions to sailing in Italy. Giulio made great recommendations on best ports and places to visit. Logistically the boat is in the main port of Naples which is a great advantage to go out. Supermarkets and supplies are very close and accesible. We had friends join us for a few days at a time during our two week rental and they were all able to arrive with a 1 hour fast boat from Naples to the different places. ( Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Capri, Ischi, Procida.) The Amalfi Coast and Islands are amazing in October and we had 26-28 C temperature. La Dolce Vita! The area is quite sumptuous and it is a perfect time to visit post tourist season as people are very relaxed everywhere. Each place has its own vibe and we had wonderful holiday. Check-out was also very cordial and friendly and Giulio made sure throughout the rental to make himself available for any advice. I would willingly return and highly recommend this boat.
The trip was fabulous. The boat clean and modern. Gabriella and Pascuali were outstanding! We had a lot of fun and relaxed a lot as well. We are 2 couples and highly recommend this boat. Only complaint is the click and boat takes a huge hunk of the cost and are not very responsive.
Beautiful boat, great communication before, until and after the procedure. Everything was clear for the cost and they do everything for us the skipper and the hostess was one of the best for our experience they clean and cook to us making great experience around the sorrentina and amalfitana coast. boating very comfortable to sleep. The skipper Marco and Karmela are very respectful and off course Marco and Karmela very expert for the boat Amazing experience!!
Giulio's boat is just as its described. The boat was clean and equipped with the tools that helped us to stay comfortable on the boat. He also very clear with the informations and give us the best suggestions for the trip. A very recommendation host and boat!
Six of us had a great week-long trip sailing ourselves around the bay of Naples and Amalfi coast. Guilio was available immediately and on top of everything whenever we needed advice or assistance, including coming out to us on Capri at our request. A really successful charter.
Thanks Giulio, it was a very good and relaxing vacation. All was perfect in such beautiful places!!!
In general it was great. Our skipper, Tommaso was excellent and professional. The boat is specially well maintained compared to our other previously rented boats. The only thing was missing on our holiday in 30+ Celsius is the air condition in the night.
We had a wonderful 4 day/3 night trip to Capri and Amalfi. The boat was clean and comfortable and the captain and hostess Giulio arranged for us (Paco and Gabriella) were excellent. We highly recommend them and we would use them again in the future.
Communication with Giulio has been very fluent before during and after the boat rental. During our trip he helped out with booking a marina on Procida as we could reach our marina of choice. He is very diligent which makes for a reliable person to rent from.
An absolute DREAM of a trip, sailing across the Bay of Naples, Procida, Ischia, Capri and the Amalfi coast!! Giulio is the best host: he gave us access to the boat earlier than expected and perfectly communicated with us before and during the trip. The boat is brand new, more than comfortable for the 5 of us. Shoutout to Captain Francesco for looking after us and being so amazing and accommodating. A vacation we will NEVER forget!
We had an excellent charter with this vessel. Giulio was a pleasure to work with and was incredibly accommodating when it came to check in and drop off times to accommodate our schedule. The location to pick up is very close to the Naples train station and very accessible, but parking can be a bit tight. He gave a thorough explanation and in brief and the boat worked perfectly the whole trip. We had 9 members on our charter, which was a little bit tight, but it was still a very new and spacious boat. Would probably recommend having 8 or less charter members next time. We had the opportunity to cruise the Amalfi coast which was incredible and Giulio was able to provide very good information about some of our destinations and anchorages/mooring buoys. I would highly recommend Giulio and this vessel to anyone, and would charter with him again any time that I am back in the area!
