Worth the money!
Christine_G, October 2026
We enjoyed this excursion. Staff was very nice. Boat is perfect with shade and also a sun deck.
Wish that the last swimming stop was further from the end of the trip so there was time to dry off.
Response from the operator · Blueocean10vm Thank you so much, Christine, for your wonderful review! 😊
We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your excursion along the Costa degli Dei and appreciated our friendly crew, as well as the comfort of the Blue Ocean, with both the shaded area and the sun deck.
Thank you also for your suggestion regarding the final swimming stop. We understand that having a little more time to dry off before returning to the port would be even more enjoyable, and we truly appreciate your feedback.
It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again in Tropea for another beautiful day at sea! 🌊☀️💙
Warm greetings from all the Blue Ocean crew!

Great boat the blue ocean!
imbieelf, September 2026
Great experience and fantastic captain. Waited for weather to clear so we could have a great experience. Even an area to wait while rain stopped. My husband and I weren't able to swim that day but felt very welcome and included. Even gave me bread to feed the fish. Such a nice crew! With every penny. Ps did 3 stops for those to snorkel and swim. What included a drink and appetizers. Great job
Response from the operator · Blueocean10vm Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙🌊
We’re truly happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your time aboard the Blue Ocean, even though you weren’t able to swim that day. For us, everyone should feel welcome and enjoy the experience in their own way. 😊
We’re glad we waited for the weather to clear and that you appreciated our covered area while waiting for the rain to pass. And we’re especially happy that you enjoyed feeding the fish! 🐟😄
Thank you also for mentioning our captain and crew, the three swimming and snorkeling stops, and our aperitivo with drinks and local appetizers. Your kind words mean a lot to all of us!
It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back to the Costa degli Dei someday! ⛵☀️💙
A big greeting from Luigi, Alessandro and the whole Blue Ocean crew!
