Best day in Ponza! - The seven of us travel to Ponza in August so our mom could visit the island where her mom is from. As part of the trip, we wanted to do something special by taking a boat ride around the island. I had somebody introduced me to Giuseppe and his family, and I'm very glad I did.
This was by far the best tour I've ever been on. And I've been to over 50 countries. Not only is this the only boat that doesn't overpack people, there was only about 16 of us on the boat. It felt so special, relaxing, and private. Giuseppe and his family is extremely attentive. They checked on us all the time to see if we wanted drinks or if there's anything we needed. The boat is very well packed with all snorkeling gear, floating devices. There is appetizers, lunch and dessert. Including unlimited drinks, as well as alcohol and wine. they thought of everything. The best part is they really gave the attention to my mother-in-law who had a cane. She couldn't go in the water, so Giuseppe brought a bucket of water to her so she could touch it. He was also wonderful with all of the kids. At some point, my son was afraid to jump off the boat so he jumped off first.
it was such an amazing experience, by far my favorite experience of my trip to Italy. The entire family says so as well. I can't wait to go back to Ponza. It is magical. But this boat tour made it so much more special than it already was. I highly highly recommend this tour over others as I've mentioned. Other tours tend to have 20, 30, 40 people on the boats and you will not get the same personal experience you would here. They are truly wonderful people. They treat you like family!

unforgettable - we stayed today in Ponza me and my family and we met by chance the crew of this boat. We decided to do the tour with them and we had an unforgettable experience. Beyond the sea, which would have been wonderful with anyone, Birgitta and her family made us feel at home, a truly wonderful experience that I recommend to everyone. Thank you very much and see you soon

Number 1 on the island of Ponza - This boat trip was fantastic, we did not think we could see the captain dive headfirst from above his cabin, the magnificent staff, Franco and his sparkling water will be the slogan of our summer, you made us live Ponza with fun and serenity, the boat is large and comfortable, abundant and exquisite food, congratulations to Brigit for her commitment. We recommend this trip to everyone, and we will be the first to return, the next!

Wonderful - Crazy day!
We discovered this excursion almost by accident and we boarded the boat... better choice we could not make! It was the best day of the whole holiday. 5-star hotel atmosphere, all super nice and attentive from the first to the last minute.
Crazy ride among the most beautiful coves of Ponza and Palmarola, with long stops just right to take endless baths and relax. Nothing was missing on board: breakfast, lunch, aperitif, fruit, cakes, coffee, beers... and all served with a smile.
The whole crew fantastic: experience, sympathy and a Welcoming that makes you feel immediately at home.
We will be back safe and recommend it to everyone!
Greetings to Brigit and Vinicius

I would have put 10 stars but 5 is the maximum !!!! - Maria Madre is a wonderful modernized fishing boat, spacious and welcoming equipped with every comfort. You will have at your disposal masks, donuts, mats of all kinds to make your day comfortable. During the boat ride you will be refreshed enough as there is an open bar and lunch, aperitif, fruit, dessert and coffee are included. The boat is equipped with large spaces both sunny and shaded that will allow you to relax in comfort. While Joe, the captain, pilots the boat you will have Brigit at your disposal who will show you and explain all the coves and beaches of Ponza and palmarola. It was an unforgettable day. Thanks for everything, see you soon.
