Booking conditions
These are the rules we sell a day at sea by. There are few of them and they are all here: what you pay and when, what happens if you change your mind, and what happens when the sea decides.

What you are booking
- You book the whole boat, with the skipper, not a seat on board: we do not put you together with other people.
- The price is per boat and does not change with the number of people, from 1 to 8. VAT included.
- A full day lasts 8 hours, short runs and the sunset trip 3 hours.
- You leave from Marina Piccola, Sorrento. You pick the time from the ones offered; for the sunset trip we work it out from that day’s real sunset, because between April and October it moves by more than two hours.
What you pay, and when
- You pay 30% of the total when you book. The rest, 70%, is paid on board on the day, by card or in cash.
- The date is yours straight away: as soon as the booking is confirmed that day disappears from the calendar and nobody else can take it.
- There are no service fees, commissions or hidden supplements added later.
If you change your mind
- More than 14 days before: cancel with no penalty, the deposit is refunded in full.
- From thirteen days onwards: we keep the deposit, that is 30%. Nothing more.
- If the sea does not allow it, we move the date or refund in full.
What is not included
- Transfer to and from the harbour is not included: it is a separate service, and we can arrange it for you on request.
- Lunch, entrance fees (the Blue Grotto, for instance) and any stops ashore are not included, except where the tour page says otherwise.
- Fuel is always included.
When you can book
- The season runs from April to October. Outside those months the calendar is closed.
- You can book up to the day before. For the same day, write or call us: if the boat is free, we go.
- From 1 to 8 people come aboard: that is the boat’s capacity, not a price bracket. If there are more of you, write to us before booking.
On board
- The skipper is in charge: if for safety they decide to change course or head back, that decision is not up for discussion and gives no right to a refund beyond what is written above.
- Children are welcome; tell us when you book, so we bring life jackets in the right size.
- The itinerary on the tour pages is what we usually do: sea and wind can change it, and if they do we offer the best alternative of the day.
If anything above is unclear, write to us before booking. Answering a question costs less than fixing a misunderstanding.
