SUMMERTIME | Luxury Crewed Catamaran

The sailboat trip was wonderful. The crew did a great job of keeping everyone happy and very helpful to everyone when it was needed. Lorenzo was a great chef and captain. Very competent at both. He fed us well. Lots of pictures taken of his food by everyone. His presentations were beautiful. Dinner in Ischia was very good. Ischia was a highlight. Also, we loved Sant’ Angelo. Very cool little marina and town. Amalfi and Ravello were highlights. We loved both of those places. Capri was beautiful but we did not get to see much of it. Captain Lorenzo did a great job of finding us places to dock in the Marinas as a few people were having problems with the motion. Merry and I were fine either way. The only disappointments we had were we never sailed or even see the boat with the sails up. That would have been nice to do a time or two. And I was disappointed we did not get to see the Blue Grotto in Capri. We went by it and it was closed. It seemed like we could have made more effort to get to it when it was open. All in all though, it was a great trip and lots of fun. It was the nicest boat we have been on and this was our fourth sailboat trip. I would tell people though that the fifth cabin is not very inhabitable and going with 4 couples is probably much better for everyone. Thanks for all your help Boatbookings as well. You were very responsive and helpful every step of the way.

Such a wonderful experience! Thank you to the wonderful crew and especially to the Captain. How do you possibly both command the boat and prepare the most wonderful food! An amazing Captain and chef! We appreciate all that you did for us to make our trip so wonderful!

Our trip was amazing. We enjoyed everything from the second we step foot on the boat until we left. The crew was hands down our highlight. Lorenzo was accommodating, knowledgeable, an amazing chef, and knew what we wanted before we asked. Erminio and Eduardo were super helpful, kind and fun. My kids still stay in touch...they were all awesome! Honestly, I was not looking to vacation around the Aeolian islands. I knew nothing about them and reached out about the Amalfi Coast. Boy am I glad we did. They were beautiful, authentic, not terribly crowded, and everything we dreamt of. Our two families (consisting of 5 late teens and 4 adults) were blown away by the beauty. There was lots to do or nothing to do...it was perfect. We hopped from island to island and took each day as it came. We had a loose plan, but if there was any weather or a better option Lorenzo would just make a suggestion to try somewhere/something different. The boat itself was pleasantly roomy. We had 9 people plus the crew and never felt overcrowded. It was clean and updated. Overall we had a fabulous experience beginning with the booking until we left. I am hoping we can travel with Boatbookings, Lorenzo and crew again soon!!

You (Patrick @ boatbookings!) encouraged me to venture these islands instead. Boy am I glad we did. They were beautiful, authentic, not terribly crowded, and everything we dreamt of.

On behalf of a very grateful Anglo-Australian group we have had a fabulous week. We have been to all the islands and had amazing weather. Lorenzos food is simple outstanding. Tommys coffee and cocktails have been prepared over and over again with a big smile. Erminio could not be more helpful in every way. This has been the best holiday ever.

Thank you Boatbookings team, excellent knowledge of the best boat to cruise on... We are boaters ourselves, and this is not our first high-end charter, but it certainly was our best. This boat is very comfortable for our family of 5, well equipped with paddleboards, 2 Sea Bobs, jet ski, kiddo water mat, etc. The boat and all the equipment are impeccably maintained. However, the true gem of this charter is its people. Seldom have we met such talented and professional people. Even rarer is the overall ambience of kindness, ease and fun they foster on Summertime. Their warmth brought the sunshine into our family vacation in Aeolian Islands, their expert navigation and planning brought us to cocktails under the lava flow at night and the perfect anchorage at every beautiful bay. Did I mention my family is now concerned of underwhelm as we head to Naples for Michelan star dining, as Lorenzo’s food is that good. Bravissimo, Lorenzo, Tommy and Erminio!

We wanted to thank you and the rest of the team at Boatbookings for organising such a fantastic holiday in the Aeolian Islands on Summertime. We enjoyed sunny weather and beautiful scenery, but the week was made additionally special because of the amazing food served onboard. Captain Lorenzo is a fabulous chef who made great use of the local seafood and produce. The other crew members, Dani and Ilya, were friendly and accomodating and Dani makes a mean cocktail:) The yacht was scrupulously clean and maintained. I think some of the highlights were watching Stromboli erupt in the evening, swimming in the caldera of an extinct volcano at Salina, squid jigging at midnight off Alicudi and walking around Lipari town. Our kids enjoyed themselves hugely and are already thinking about a next voyage when son number two hits 30 in a few years time. We look forward to your guidance then!

We are so happy about our trip. The cleanness is impeccable, the crew is fantastic, very professional, super polite, taking care of every single details and they always had a smile or coment to make us happy and feeling we are very well taking of. What can I tell you about Lorenzo? He cooks like one star Michelin. Really, everybody has been so happy with them and they made us feel like at home. Fantastic people. Thank you so much again to Boatbookings - excellent company to work with.

We cannot express how much we appreciate your personalities and positive energy. You all brought so much joy to our trip and made it completely unique.

What a truly amazing week! Wonderful, amazing swimming spots, food, drink. Most astounding is that I still fit into my non-boat clothes! You guys are fabulous - nothing is too much trouble. Thanks for showing us so many beautiful places - I cannot believe I have been swimming in the caldera of an extinct volcano.

Life aboard Summertime couldn’t be better. The boat is very comfortable and the crew are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble - and as for the food - WOW! You could advertise this boat just on the basis of the food. Homemade pistachio mayonnaise- seriously. Everyone is very relaxed and looking forward to the rest of the week. Thank you Boatbookings!

Between the cocktails and Lorenzo fantastic cooking we managed to disembark much happier and heavier than when we boarded. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel part of the family and welcome at all times. Lorenzo makes a brilliant cocktail and has fed us the most amazing food for the whole week. Specifically the swordfish, scallops and lasagne were highlights that we will not forget. We were made to feel special when we celebrated a 30th wedding anniversary and a birthday as well and would not have wanted to celebrate anywhere else. Stefano tried his best to control the weather and we wish him and his partner all the best with the birth of their daughter. The entire crew was amazing! Thanks Boatbookings for your excellent recommendation and guidance along the whole process.

After 2 years of looking forward to our charter we were finally able to reach our charter on SUMMERTIME. We have all had the most wonderful time. The care and attention paid to all the details has been outstanding. It takes a lot of care and attention to make something look so seamless - and seamless did it feel! I knew we would have a good time but Lorenzo`s food really lifted the whole experience to another level, so so delicious! We all feel completely relaxed and it will be difficult to re-enter the real world!! So once again, many many thanks to Boatbookings and the crew, we have loved our charter with you and will cherish these memories for a long time.

I would also like to say we have had the best time. Lorenzo, ilia and Veronica have done a wonderful job taking care of us and we have really appreciated everything they have done. We really could not recommend them more highly. Many thanks Boatbookings!

Many thanks to the Captain and crew of SUMMERTIME; we could not have been happier with how the week turned out. The Captain`s suggestions were excellent, and their care for our comfort and safety was very much appreciated. The meals were delicious and exceeded our expectations time and time again. Very good recommendation from Boatbookings team, professional and lots of knowledge.

We’re having a great time. The crew are excellent! The food is amazing! They’re so sweet, intuitive, discreet and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Boatbookings for your recommendation and making it happen!

To the best crew ever! We had the most fantastic week of our lives. Everything was more than amazing! The company, food, scenery and energy was simply wonderful. We made the most awesome family memories and they will last us forever! We all are grateful to the entire crew for hosting us. You all made our voyage one of a lifetime! Grazie! Shout out to Boatbookings team who are experienced and professional and really know the crews.

Thank you to boys of SUMMERTIME. We had an amazing time, thank you so much! The Amalfi Coast was my dream trip and being on the boat with y`all made it even more special. Can`t wait to come back. Thank you Boatbookings; we really appreciate all you have done to make our trip special!!

The crew was simply amazing…they were attentive, they took care of the smallest details and they were always eager to please. I can’t say enough about Captain Andrea, and his mates, Stefano and Lorenzo. The food was delicious and plentiful – the meals, desserts and mid-day snacks were well thought out and very much appreciated – especially since he had to customize meals for a couple of picky eaters. Lorenzo even let Amber and me saber a bottle of champagne - which was so much fun! The crew really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our trip – even going the extra mile to make sure I got to enter the Blue Grotto off the coast of Capri (which was one place I mentioned I really wanted to see). I am very appreciative of their efforts to make this dream come true. The boat itself is beautiful and well maintained, you can tell they take great pride in caring for the vessel. Andrea, Stefano and Lorenzo made it a very memorable week for us and by the end of the sailing, they felt like family.Boatbookings did a fantastic job!

Buon Giorno! The Catamaran SUMMERTIME is beautiful and the crew is AMAZING! The weather could be better but that’s in God’s hands not ours. Thank you so much for checking on us and assisting us Boatbookings.
