Testimonials
RADIANCE - broker reference August 2022 charter
Captain Fabiano was a dream to work with. He was so communicative and he really went the extra mile to make the clients happy. He even found a few gyms for them to work out at, which is next to impossible along the Amalfi coast normally and they still have covid protocols in place. My clients said the boat was immaculate.
