Great little team, very friendly and professional. Very fair prices. We saw so many beautiful locations and swimming spots and had lots of time to snorkel and explore. They provide goggles but not snorkels, so bring your own snorkel if you want that. They also provided swimming noodles, some slices of pizza and cold bottled water. What else do you need?? 😉

Great day viewing the shoreline of Gaeta. Snorkeling was awesome with no rush. Staff was fantastic as well as Beau the beagle.

Bit disappointing: we did nog see a lot of the beautiful coast or grottos and due to high waves we could not swim in the bay. Instead we went to the fishermans port to swim, where we had only 1 snorkel for 7 people and there was nothing to see there.

A wonderful short trip with option to swim in the sea. Simone the captain is super friendly and native to Gaeta. There’s an undercover section and section to sunbathe on the boat. After experiencing this and swimming in the sea, it may be difficult to enjoy spending all your time on the beach under a sunbed, surrounded by too many people. I struggled staying on the beach after experiencing this opportunity to swim in glorious sea. A family run business, seafaring people, delightful humans. I highly also recommend the 4 hour boat cruise too (I did both).

It was a really nice trip to get out of the heat of Rome. Very attentive captain, we felt very safe. The water was warm and the bay we swam in was protected so it was an easy swim. Learned about the area on the way back. Lots of tips from the captain of where to go once back on land. Family enjoyed it very much.

A great experience of gaeta from the sea with amazing views and a great tour to learn some history. I didn’t catch the boat drivers name unfortunately but he really made the trip great! And of course the swim in the sea was magnificent too (even if I can’t swim as good as I remember haha)

Rebecca

Simone was great and shared lots of stories about the area, including fish and wildlife. It was a nice trip and the swimming was refreshing.

Gaeta and this boat excursion was the highlight of my trip. Nothing beats the peace and well informed captain who gave my friends and I a memorable experience. Simone is very respectful and relaxed man which goes well with the quiet small town of Gaeta.
