We had the absolute best time with Nicola! His boat was just as we expected. We spent 3 days sailing and he took us to excellent locations along the Amalfi coast. One of the best nights we've ever had on vacation was at his friend's restaurant. Rocco was a hoot and his food is excellent! He even sent us wine home and it made it back to the states intact!
There were 5 of us including 3 young adults 19, 20, 21. We had no complaints over space.
Nicola we are absolutely serious about making another trip down...just maybe not with the kids next time! We consider you a friend and look forward to seeing you again.

There were six of us that stayed on Nicola’s sailboat for three nights. The space was a bit tight for six, but we didn’t spend much time below deck. We scheduled to be sailing for two days with Nicola, and he did a wonderful job with recommendations and arrangements. We would definitely stay and sail with Nicola again, but for at least three days next time!

My sister and I were looking for a place to stay near Pompeii and came across this listing. It sounded so different and like a fun adventure. We're very glad we booked the boat for two nights, and Nicola took us to Capri in the boat one of the days. That is an extra cost but is well worth it. Imagine waking up on the boat and just heading out on the sea without fighting any crowds! The coastline was so beautiful on the way there, and Nicola arranged a lovely lunch reservation for us on the island. We had a few hours before going back to the dock at Castellamare di Stabia, which is a quiet little town, not touristy at all. The restaurants are good and so reasonably priced. All the locals come out at night and stroll around the park on the shoreline. Nicola was a great host, and he even took us to Pompeii the next day, which is only about 15 minutes away.
The bedrooms and bathroom on the boat are small compared to a hotel or house, so just be aware that it is a different experience. But the weather was so lovely that we didn't spend much time in them. It was definitely an exciting adventure!

We had a fantastic 2 nights with Nicola. Along with a day trip to Capri. I wish we had more time to spend. We'll be back one day

We loved our stay on Nicola’s boat. We were four in our group (2 adults and 2 kids), and the boat was very comfortable. Our kids loved the adventure of sleeping on a boat. We also took a trip down the coast with Nicola, stopping at a beach restaurant for lunch. We saw parts of the Amalfi coast that you can’t see from a car and loved our day. This is a truly unique experience! We will be back for a longer trip and a longer sail!

Nicola delivered an incredible and informative trip down the Amalfi coastline over a 4 night stay. We had a wonderful time and found Nicola to be a great host and boat skipper. His knowledge of the coastline was top shelf. We would not hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends and hope to meet up with Nicola in the future as a close friendship was made by all. He even took us to his friends restaurant, where we had a fun and gastronomic evening. Grazie Amico Mio - until the next time. Stu, Linda, Karen and Andrew. X

Captain Nicola was amazing. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy. Three days on the boat and he went out of his way to make the visit very special. We will never forget it. If you want to see the Amalfi coast and Capri by private boat, he is your guy. Knows everyone and speaks great English. Can’t thank you enough Nicola for a wonderful cruise. Can’t wait to return. Hope you enjoyed the Kentucky Bourbon and the cigars.

This was our second time sailing with Captain Nicola.That should tell you everything. We enjoyed our first trip so much we returned, this time bringing our 16 year old granddaughter with us. His new boat is comfortable and more spacious than the last, we had a great time sailing and swimming, Nicola is fun and interesting to talk with, all in all a perfect two days.

This was the best part of our entire 3 week trip. Loved every minute of it. Nicola was very accomodating and showed us around the town including where to eat out and get supplies, and how to get around. He gave us a tour of the boat and took us out sailing one day, and we swam off the back of the boat - amazing. Castellamare di Stabia is only a 20 min train ride to busy Sorrento, and the boat is walking distance to the train. The food at Castellamare di Stabia is terrific and the locals really helpful. The port is very safe, we never had any concerns. Nicola also provided transfer to and from Naples airport which was a big help. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this to others. Nicola's boat is wonderful, it has everything you need, and is most comfortable. I especially love being rocked to sleep each night and drinking Prosecco off the back of the boat each evening watching the sun go down. Thank you for a wonderful time Nicola. Hope to see you again soon. xx

The boat is moored in the quiet port of Castellammare di Stabia. Hardly any other tourists in this authentic Italian town. Captain Nicola was the ultimate host. His boat is imaccularely kept with everything and more you could need. Going out to sea with him was an experience to never forget. A wonderful man with a love for people, the area and the sea. My family and I can not wait to join him again, hopefully soon.

Our time on the Kala Nag, docked in the historic (non-touristic) port of Castellammare di Stabia, was a refreshing break from hotels and B&B's. Nicola greeted us at the train station, gave us a quick driving tour of places we would need to know to make our stay comfortable (...like the best pizza we ate in 2 weeks!), and introduced us to our "quarters." Then, the boat was ours, and he only appeared as agreed to take us out on excursion. There is no crime in the town, and the dock employs a 24 hour watchman.
Living on a boat is tight quarters, but beyond that, it could not have been more comfortable. Everything from bedding to kitchen to bathroom, to spacious table area is in tip top shape and immaculately clean. The care that Nicola takes of his boat is to be admired, yet he was relaxed about us making ourselves at home, once we knew the "ground rules." Everything we needed, including the train station, was an easy walk from the boat. We traveled one day by train (20 minutes) to Pompei. Sorrento is also within short train ride.
One day, weather permitting, we scheduled a trip to the isle of Capri. Nicola is a skilled, experienced, knowledgeable captain and an interesting, caring, and fun person. His interest in our stories was genuine, and we thoroughly enjoyed hearing his. We learned much about the shoreline and its history.
We have only one regret, and even that was not the fault of Nicola. We were passionately looking forward to sailing, but the day we left harbor, the entire trip was motor. The wind was not strong enough to sail. Because we had failed to ask questions, we left thinking any minute the sails would go up. A huge let-down, but totally our fault. Nicola is trustworthy and honest...and his English is great. A simple conversation would have avoided the misunderstanding.
We highly recommend a stay on the Kala Nag. The entire three days was a delight.
