boat hire in Porto Cervo · Cantieri Capelli — Capelli Tempest 900 St (2021)

The experience of renting with Valentino was good and the boat, and cost was exactly as was promised. The final cost reflected what he explained to us about the fee for the skipper and estimate of gasoline charges. Everything was clear and transparent. The Marina was beautiful and had a market to supplies for a day on the ocean. The problem was that the Marina where the boat is located was very far to where we wanted to visit (Archipelago Madalena ) and it takes too long to get there. Specially in the extremely windy day (not Valentinos fault) and the heavy traffic of huge boats and yacht causing huge waves for our small boat. Also the skipper Vladimiro ( nice , affable young men) had only one week experience (that is what he said ) and did not speak much English or Spanish. He was a bit inexperienced. We did not visited the best beaches and calas of La Madalena either due to lack of communication or the wind. Finally we decided to go to a beach restaurant recommended by Vladimiro in a mostly empty beach (we love empty beaches) with great food and service. We spent most of the day there and was the best part of the experience even though it wasn’t in our plan. The prices were what you would expect in Sardinia during high season. Our way back was a roller coaster of huge waves and wind. In short, I would book this service again to visit areas near the Marina where the boat is. To visit la Madalena I would rent from a Marina closer so I don’t waste to much time coming and going. Specially is you get the windy conditions like we did.

Great experience. The boat is located in a small marina very easy access. All questions were answered promptly. Definitely recommend and would book again.
