One of my favorite days ever! We took a private boat tour around the island of Ischia. Luigi, our captain, was an excellent and safe driver, even in some rough waters. Angela, our guide, was kind, pat... See more

Transfer to and from Ischia
They were informative, communicative, and fairly priced. All of the drivers were timely, courteous, and spoke English well. We do not speak Italian and were unfamiliar with the ferry system. They got us there on time and in the right place to be successful. I would highly recommend them for your transfer needs.
We have rented a villa in Ischia for…
We have rented a villa in Ischia for two years in a row and Dion at Ischia Review has been an invaluable resource, booking excellent boat tours of the island and providing recommendations as to sites, restaurants and shops. The process is always seamless.
Highlight of our trip!
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time on this excursion around Ischia - it was by far the highlight of an already unreal holiday! We had Dario as our skipper who was beyond fantastic - he was super friendly, informative, and fun to be around. Going into the trip we did not know much about Ischia, but Dario took us around the whole island and taught us about the history and showed us thermal waters, the castle, and amazing swimming spots all over the island. Dario also arranged for us to have a lunch at an authentic Ischian restaurant that was only reachable by water, followed by a tour of the restaurant’s garden - this meal was one of the best we had in Italy. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day. I highly recommend West Coast, and especially Dario, to anyone who is looking for an amazing experience that can be completely customized. I hope to one day come back and relive this day, and I will definitely encourage friends and family who are lucky enough to visit Ischia to do the same!
Great experience!
It was easy to rent a boat here. We reserved it ahead of time. The staff communicated via WhatsApp and it was easy to find the boat, get helpful instructions, and spend a day circling the beautiful island of Ischia. The boat itself was clean and perfectly functional.
This boat tour was amazing and beyond…
This boat tour was amazing and beyond all expectations. Our skipper Gigi was extremely knowledgeable and flexible regarding our wants and needs. It was a spectacular day on the water! Would very highly recommend this experience!
Smoothest transfer in Italy
We contacted ischiareview to get transport from naples airport to a hotel in Ischia. We had a transport waiting for us at the airport even after 30-40 minutes delay. Took us to the port, payed for our tickets then told us exactly on where to go. When we arrived in Ischia we had another driver waiting with our name. Excellent service from Dion on mail as well before the trip. Will deffinitely use again next time we come back.
100% recommended!
I can’t say enough about this company. We traveled to Ischia and Positano during our vacation. We needed four different transfers and they all went smoothly. They even booked our ferries for us so it was easy from airport to the island. That for me was key since I don’t speak Italian. I coordinated my travels with Dion who was extremely helpful. He was always very punctual with responses to emails and texts, as well as helping with my travel plans. I will absolutely be using them again and I would highly recommend!!
Great service and knowledge on Ischia
Ischia Review answered a ton of questions for us prior to our trip - they are better than almost anyone regarding detailed explanations of how to best explore this lovely island.
They arranged a perfect transfer for us, very professional, and also were responsible for the best day of our 2 week italy tour, by providing a rental boat for a day-long tour of around the island. What a beautiful place, which Ischia Review made possible. I can't recommend them highly enough for your Ischia needs.
Everything worked perfectly
Everything worked perfectly, with lots of communication about pick ups and drop offs.
Charming and efficient staff.
We were a little nervous about paying up front, but took the risk and all worked out well.
Perhaps it might be possible to take a credit card guarantee instead, but all in all, absolutely no complaints about a job well done.
Full day tour Ischia by boat
We had a fabulous day exploring around Ischia from the water. A wonderful perspective! Our skipper Giuseppe looked after us extremely well and was tentative and respectful. Highly recommend this tour and company!
100% recommend
This was the best thing we did in our two weeks in Italy. The company was very responsive and answered all questions leading up to the rental, the price was very reasonable and the skipper and assist were great! We were 4 people but with the two employees it really felt like 6 friends boating around for a day.
The best boat trip
The best boat trip ! Great service great coordination . As always thank you
For a stress-free transfer to Ischia
Ischia Review made our arrival into Ischia from Naples airport after a long flight from Australia and then back to Naples city so effortless. There is a certain chaos at Naples airport and ferry terminal, which could be confounding for the uninitiated. An excellent service I have no hesitation in recommending.

Most amazing boat trip!!!
My family and I had the most amazing boat experience with Gianni as our tour guide. The boat was perfect which heaps of space to lay down as well as esky filled with wine and beers :)
Gianni has the best character and was the perfect guide showing us unique spots we wouldn't know without a local.
We loved it so much we came back two days later to hire a small boat for ourselves and go to all the same spots.
Highly recommend for groups and couples, they provide all options!
Easy and seamless
My transport from Naples to Ischia and back to Naples went seamlessly. The drivers were always on time, courteous, and got us where we needed to be. I would definitely use Ischia Review for all my transport needs in the area!
fantastic!
We hired a driver under IschiaReview.com who promptly met us at the airport with a lovely air conditioned Mercedes van, drove us to the ferry and handed us tickets to get on the hydrofoil. Upon disembarking; we were met with another gentleman who drove us to our hotel (quick and took the guesswork out of where we were going). Yes, it’s a little more money than getting a cab on your own along with tickets but it really was worth it to pay a little extra for the sheer ease and was a wonderful start to our trip in Italy!
Excellent boat tour of Ischia
We chartered a boat and skipper for a day on the water in Ischia. The excursion was all we expected, and more. The boat was clean and comfortable, with padded bow and a sun canopy. The skippers on board were friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out areas of interest and giving tips about other things to do on Ischia. We spent the day cruising around Ischia, stopping to swim multiple times. We also stopped for lunch in Sant’Angelo. Cold drinks were also provided on board. We saved Ischia as the last stop on our Italy trip, with the boat tour as a highlight. It definitely was a highlight of our holiday, and as the skipper said, “like the cherry on top!” I highly recommend Ischia Review!
A great boat tour around amazing Ischea!
Helpful and knowledgable guide, easy booking and good info from the company ahead of the tour. A wonderful experience! Highly recommended!
Private tour of ischia
we had a great private tour around Ischia with our skipper Adriano - He knew everything we asked about the island and even showed us exclusive spots only the locals of the island knew about.
The boat was very comfortable and soft drinks and beer were complimentary during the trip, towels were also provided as well as snorkelling goggles.
I would definitely recommend taking this trip if you have the opportunity to!
Highlight of our trip!
I found West Coast Tours through Ischia Review, and I'm so glad I did! Every time someone asks my husband and me what the best part of our honeymoon was, we always bring up our boat day in Ischia. The Predator 600 was the perfect size for the 2 of us, and Adriano was the best skipper we could have asked for! He was born and raised in Ischia, and we learned so much about the island from him. But not in a tour guide kind of way, it really felt like we were out on a friend's boat and they were showing us all of their favorite places. So many great swimming spots and the water was nice & warm! The masks provided were great for seeing all the fish, reefs, and finding sea glass. At one of our stops Adriano dove down, plucked up a sea urchin, and we ate it right there! He took us to hot springs, grottos, and to a restaurant that you can only get to by boat. He told us his grandpa took his mom there when she was little, he grew up going there, and they're all very close. It was truly the most beautiful day with the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I can't recommend West Coast Tours and Adriano enough!
