One of my favorite days ever! We took a private boat tour around the island of Ischia. Luigi, our captain, was an excellent and safe driver, even in some rough waters. Angela, our guide, was kind, pat... See more

Professional services
They arranged transport from airport to Ischia for us and some trips. Very professional. Everything went smoothly due their perfect organization skills. We are looking forward to use their services again in the future 🙂
Best day of our trip to Ischia!
We rented Gozzo Iolanda through Ischia Review for a day with the skipper Gianluiggi (Gigi) and it was the best thing we did in the whole trip!
The communication with Dion through email was easy and super quick (answers coming in minutes). All the information was clearly explained and the payment worked without any problems. When we arrived in the port of Forio, we were received by the West Coast team and were in the boat in a few minutes.
We were a group of 8 people and enjoyed the whole day doing a tour around the island.
Gigi was absolutely amazing, telling stories and explaining many different POI around the island. He took us to swim and scuba dive in the most beautiful places, accompanied us to some of the activities, like swimming in the caves, swimming with the CO2 bubbles near the Castle and even jumping from a rock!
We also had some soft drinks and beers which were enough for the group (although no one was drinking heavily).
I'd strongly advise to do this with a skipper and not rent the boat by yourself, they can definitely show you things you'd never find by yourself, but also they really know what they're doing with the boat!
All went well
All went well - great communication before the cars were to arrive. All drivers very professional. Highly Recommended for first timers to Ischia as the ferry/taxi system can be daunting if your planning to catch a flight.
Professional service with great communication!
Our drivers were on-time and courteous. There was one point of miscommunication(through no one’s fault), but it was proactively and immediately resolved. We even had one driver give us very detailed information about Ischia during the drive. It was like a guided tour without the extra fee! Ischia Review really took the stress out of planning a wonderful vacation.
Renting a boat from Ischia Review was…
Renting a boat from Ischia Review was amazing! They were incredibly helpful and responded very quickly to any emails or question. We got a boat for great value compared to other companies in Ischia. Our boat was clean and everything was explained to us on arrival as we have not driven a boat before. We had the best day ever, highly recommend this company for any boat rentals!
Super punctual and reliable
Very reliable service which I have been using for transfers Naples- Ischia for the past few years.
Always on time and very helpful.

Our best experience on Ischia :-)
The boat rental was simple and the email and phone communication with Dion and his crew was smooth. The price for the boat and the fuel was fair, and there were no hidden costs beyond the initial offer. We arrived to Forio on the rental day and the boat was already waiting for us. The formal issues took 15 minutes. The boat was new and clean, we got very precise technical instructions and good advice on dos and don'ts during the trip. Overall it was our best experience on Ischia :-)
Such a great experience
Such a great experience, very smooth and easy. Great communication and affordable.
Magical Experience
This is our second time we used the boat rental and won't be our last. Magical time exploring the coves of Ischia. The boat is immaculate, easy to drive and even came with a cool box. Can't recommend this service enough.
Absolutely great
Dion and the team were awesome. Super responsive, great value, everything was perfect! 10/10 would recommend.
Our Best Day in Ischia!
An absolutely fantastic experience! We rented a boat for a day and it was easily our most enjoyable day of the seven we spent on the island.
A gentleman delivered the boat to us in Ischia Porto and went over not only the operations of the boat, but all the suggested stops along the way and things to to do and see, which he pinpointed on a map that we took with us.
As an American, one of the hardest adjustments to make with European travel is the obscene lack of ice available anywhere, which is why it was a welcome surprise that they provided us with a cooler WITH ICE in it!
When we got to Forio, we were confused about where their dock was but they spotted us and helped us get in and dock. We then went to lunch and bought some beverages since we knew that we'd be able to keep them cold with the cooler.
The eight-person dinghy was more than adequate for our family of six and was easy to get in and out of, which we did often as we were there during an historic heat wave.
The costs were clear and simple up-front, there were no surprise charges, and their communication was impeccable.
I can't stress the efficiency and professionalism of their service enough and will 100% use them again the next time I have an opportunity.
Excellent service
Excellent service, seamless transfer between Naples and Ischia. Highly recommended!
Ischia Review was INCREDIBLE!!
Ischia Review was INCREDIBLE!!
We couldn't have been more pleased with Ischia Review - they were very communicative and flexible, answering questions quickly and easily. The boat trip was more beautiful than we could've imagined and while served as a functional transfer, ended up being a highlight of a magical trip. Our boat driver provided fantastic and interesting historical details about the coast and islands. I couldn't recommend them enough!!
Ischia Review - Top Service
I am happy to recommend Ischia Review for professional, reliable transfer services. My family and friends recently engaged Ischia Review for pick-up/transfer from Naples Airport to our hotel on the island of Ischia. The entire booking and reservation process was professionally managed. The day prior to our travel, airport workers in Italy went on strike resulting in cancelled flights for our travel party and subsequent re-booking. Our travel party, originally one large group of nine people, split into three separate arrivals across two days. Ischia Review accommodated the changes with no fuss. All three groups were met and delivered promptly and efficiently. Big thanks to Dion, who provided first-class back-of-house services, and to the drivers who met us as scheduled, helped with ferry tickets and baggage, and brought us safely to our destination.
Great boat trip at Ischia
Boat was in excellent condition and the service was great. The staff also speaks very good English, and gave us good Tuos where to stop on our tour.
Such a great and easy service to use
Such a great and easy service to use!
Hassle free and takes all confusion out of transfers.
All the drivers were friendly and on time and made the ferry crossing simple too.
Would book again!
Great Experience
Had a fantastic day on our boat with our guide Gianni. Could have been better was informative and knowledgeable about all aspects of the island as well as having a great sense of humor. Great day with the whole family
Took a boat out with Ischia Review and…
Took a boat out with Ischia Review and had the best day ever. They were very helpful and communicative beforehand and they were even able to pick me up near my hotel. Highly recommend a boat tour with them. 10/10
Ischia Island boat trip
We booked our ischia island boat trip through Ischia Review and could not be happier with the booking process and the trip. Adriano our skipper was awesome. Very friendly informative and accommodating. Dion also assisted me with transfer advice and help when our flights were delayed. He was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend booking through Ischia Review. From experience with a second boat trip it's clear that they are not all equal and it was good to have booked the right one in advance of our trip
Highlight of our vacation!
We chartered a small boat for our family of four for a day long tour around Ischia Island. Right fom the start Dion was so helpful and answered all my questions over email prior to our trip. The boat charter couldn't have been any better, our skipper Vito was just amazing and he took us to so many special spots around the island, including a beautiful restaurant overlooking the castle that we accessed by their water taxi - it was such a unique experience. He was also fabulous with our two young daughters. We won't forget our special day, it was the highlight of our week in Ischia. Thank you Dion and Ischia Review for organizing it for us!
