A selection of public reviews shared by guests after their experience with us.
Welcome Party Cruise - Sorrento Wedding Celebration
We had the incredible pleasure of booking a sailboat excursion with Exclusive Cruises while visiting the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, and it was nothing short of magical. We chose to host our son’s wedding welcome party on one of their beautiful sailboats, and it was the perfect way to kick off a lifetime of happiness.
From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Valeria and her team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Their service was impeccable, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire evening.
The sailboat itself was stunning, offering both comfort and elegance. The chef prepared a delicious meal that exceeded all expectations, and we were treated to live music that set the perfect tone for celebration. The views of the coastline were absolutely breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to enjoy a spectacular sunset that made the evening even more memorable.
This experience was truly unforgettable—a perfect blend of romance, joy, and Italian charm. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin the wedding festivities. Thank you, Exclusive Cruises, for helping us create such a special and meaningful memory.
Best part of our Italy trip
We had the most unforgettable experience on our private boat tour of the Amalfi Coast! From start to finish, everything was seamless and beyond what we could have hoped for. The boat itself was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery.
Our skipper was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable – he shared interesting stories and history about each town and hidden cove we passed, and also gave us plenty of time to swim and explore at our own pace. He even recommended a lovely spot for lunch that was appreciated.
Sailing past the colorful villages, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear water was magical, and having a private boat made it feel so special and peaceful. We never felt rushed and were able to truly enjoy every moment.
We couldn’t recommend this tour more – if you’re visiting the Amalfi Coast, this is absolutely the best way to see it. Thank you for making our day so memorable
Secret Coves, Crystal Waters, and a Perfect Day
We had the most unforgettable experience on our private boat tour of the Amalfi Coast! From start to finish, everything was seamless and beyond what we could have imagined. Our family of four was met right at the Amalfi docks, and the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in for something special.
The boat was pristine, spacious, and stocked with fresh towels, masks, noodles, and plenty of chilled drinks — the perfect haven for soaking in the coast’s beauty.
Amazing! Fantastic!!!!
We went to Europe for 15 days and spent 4 in Sorrento! This boat trip was one of the highlights for the entire family! Our captain was wonderful and so fun! The boat was beautiful and had an amazing deck pillow to lay on! We went to a beautiful restaurant for lunch that is only accessible by boat (on the company’s recommendation) and it was one of the best meals we had the entire trip! We swam in the sea several times, went cliff jumping, and relaxed while seeing the Amalfi Coast! I cannot recommend this boat trip enough! It was worth every penny!
