Ischia Island Round Trip Cruise - We had a wonderful day on our cruise with the Criade Cruise family. The boat was very comfortable with downstairs tables and chairs to enjoy the lovely home cooked food and upper deck for lounging and sightseeing. We were able to swim in 4 spots and enjoyed a lighthearted commentary from Adrian throughout the day. Our group enjoyed some great music and dancing as the day drew to a close. Thank you Criade Cruise family. A fun day all round.

A truly magical day - Absolutely fabulous day! The trip was worth every penny. Fabio and his crew were so welcoming and funny and provided lots of information as we toured the island. There were regular stops for swimming with many jumping and diving off in spectacular fashion. Food and wine were provided throughout the day resulting in lots of ‘mini celebrations’ as each delicious dish appeared. Compliments to the chef - she was brilliant and her efforts were very much appreciated. We were a really multi cultural group from many different countries and easy friendships were formed as the day wore on. As we returned to Forio at the end of the day we were all very sorry to leave. We had a truly magical day with great company and would definitely go on this trip again given the chance.

The first choice for a complete experience to discover the beauty of Ischia! - We are going to go for sure, as my mom had this experience last year as well. We boarded the boat in the morning at the pier of Forio, and immediately they welcomed us as a family, complete with welcome coffee that always makes a great pleasure. In the previous days there was bad weather, so to make up for the missed trips we were made to do both the tour of the island and the stop in Procida. We stayed 8 hours on the boat, and they flew!!! The boat is family run, Enza and Fabio and their children and grandchildren are helpful, polite and kind. They make you feel really at home!!! Between laughter, jokes and discoveries of the island, you can not miss lunch (included in the initial fee). The cook is the owner, Enza, who cooks a full lunch, all fresh and first choice! Pasta with fish, typical Neapolitan buffalo mozzarella, bruschetta, coffee and typical Ischian coffee killer, and even fruit! (I also attach the photos). Wine at will and prosecco. The stops for the bath are many, and always well organized and equipped. If you are not able to swim, they provide you with tubes, lifebuoys and tablets; and they always look for the best location to swim and enjoy the view. The stop in Procida to do absolutely if you have never been there! In agreement with Enza, you can pay a minimum fee to take the taxi tour throughout Procida, with a guide and stops to admire the views. (Excellent solution, as the island is divided "into plans" and in no time you would not succeed and visit the best places on the island. We return by boat and continue the tour of the island, and there is the final surprise! Dessert always prepared by Enza as a tribute, EXQUISITE!!! What about... wonderful experience, I repeat!! A great choice and a great find for me. Enza and her whole family remain in your heart, make you truly experience magical moments and make you feel at home throughout the experience. Fabio, Enza's husband, the Captain, playful and playful, always ready to make a joke and make us laugh! In general there is a homely atmosphere, the team speaking in Neapolitan dialect and pleasant music always in the background. But that doesn't mean it's not suitable for tourists, as children are always ready and trained to translate everything into English. Given my satisfaction with everything, the next day we repeated the experience with the tour of Ischia, and what about... wonderful as the first time. I bonded even more with Enza, who is a wonderful person!! Definitely I will return to repeat this experience, now it is a fixed stop! A GUARANTEE!!! The only flaw... (?) unfortunately you can not choose the people on board the boat. We came across a group of adult people (foreigners and Italians) not really pleasant. But Enza and his family immediately "dampened" the situation and managed everything to the best, to make us continue to live this sensational experience. To these people I just give a tip: if you do not like the group experience, laughter and fun, music and cultural variety, I recommend you rent a private boat to enjoy relaxation and monotony without disturbing others. (If you want you can charter the private yacht that has Enza). Despite this, absolutely not the fault of the team of Enza and Fabio, I bring home only positive memories and lots of love. YOU ARE SPECIAL, keep it up. See you soon!!!!!

Magnificent mini cruise of Ischia - Beautiful tour of the island. Great organization of the whole family, a close-knit and passionate staff. The food was great, cooked impeccably.

Unforgettable boat trip!!! - I had an absolutely amazing time on this boat trip! The whole experience was well organized and filled with fun from start to finish. One of the highlights for me was the multiple stops for swimming — the water was crystal clear and refreshing, and it felt like we had our own little paradise at each spot. The food and drinks onboard were fantastic, with plenty of options to keep everyone happy and refreshed throughout the day. Everything was served with a smile, which really added to the atmosphere. Speaking of which — the atmosphere was unbeatable! Relaxed, friendly, and full of positive energy. Music, laughter, and stunning views made it feel like the perfect day out on the water. If you’re looking for a memorable adventure that combines swimming, great food and drinks, and a lively yet relaxed vibe, I can’t recommend this boat trip enough. Truly a five-star experience!

Unforgettable day 💙💙 - Unforgettable day Enza Fabio and their children are people of a unique kindness and sympathy. The food all cooked by Enza was an exaggerated goodness. A unique experience to repeat and that I recommend. Thank you so much for a wonderful day. ❤️❤️❤️

A very special day on Alcione Boat, doing the round of the Ischia island. - The tour was excellent. We visited places that we couldn't visit from land and also some we didn't have time to visit so far. I checked other companies' tours, but their stops didn't suit us. Everything was well organized and the boat stuff was kind, funny and helpful all the time. The food was excellent and drinks too. I wouldn't change anything if I had to, and I will definitely do it again when I come back to Forio someday in the future.

Not to be missed! - I rarely feel like recommending anything with an open heart, as I do with this review for Criade Cruise. Fabio, Enza and all the guys on staff are the real added value of an experience that, otherwise, you could find on any other boat. You don't. Here you will be welcomed, pampered, you will live one day as Ischians, as a family. Enza will cook a lunch that has nothing to envy to the best trattorias, Fabio the commander will lead you to discover the bluest waters of Ischia in which to immerse yourself. Everyone will ensure that your day passes light and carefree, as it should be every day when you are on vacation. The boat is cared for, clean and impeccably maintained and you will feel at home as soon as you step on board. Do not have any doubt, it is the best choice you can make in Ischia. And Forza Napoli Always.

Oat trip around Ischia - Boat not as well maintai ef or as comfortable as experienced in other countries . Food very good and warm friendlly atmosphere .Pretty location .

This time it was a big disappointment - I am giving one star review this time. We had booked this cruise second time. Last year we had the same captain Fabio and truly enjoyed the cruise. We’ve decided to book again this year - what a disappointment!!! We paid this time directly to Fabio 70 euros per person and we had a party of 5 people. It all started off with - the boat was parked far away and we had to walk 15 min to the boat. It was a different boat than last year- old, uncomfortable and Fabio who was supposed to be a captain - let his sons take the control of the boat and didn’t come on a tour with us( we didn’t know this), finally, there was a lot of people and not enough space, people were sitting on the floor. In a middle of the day the boat motor broke and we waisted 2 hours standing and waiting until it will get fixed, the Fabio sons care only about how quickly to unload passengers- if the last time we arrived around 5 pm - and they let us swim at least 5 times at 5 different places - this time - because the boat broke we only were allowed to swim 3 times. Every time we start swimming - they may called us back. The sons of the captain were horrible, ignorant - they wouldn’t explain in English. Everything from the way the treated people to food quality - was so different this time. When I sent a message to Fabio to let him know about how we feel about this time cruise - he called us “rude” and told us that we are no longer welcomed. Do yourself a favor - stay away from this boat and pick someone else
