Top Tropea Port Transfers

Dear Kevin (owner) and Mattia of Marlove, Siamo davvero lieti di conoscervi. Grazie mille per la splendida ed eccellente esperienza con la vostra escursione in barca. Siete stati fantastici. Kevin of Marlove saved the day, even with short notice, when the GetYourGuide previously booked excursion was a no-show after my friend and I arrived early and waited at the boat dock for an hour and a half in the hot sun with 5 other people, and canceled the booking last minute! We are very frustrated and disappointed. The other people left. (GetYourGuide, when later requested, said a refund will be provided within 3-5 business days.) My friend had initially booked that particular excursion because she went on it 2 years ago on a prior trip to Italy and Tropea, and had an excellent experience then. After our great disappointment, my friend and I decided to try to book another excursion. This is my first trip to Italy. We had traveled by 3 trains from Scalea the day before Tue, 9/15/26, to Tropea - the main intent was to go on the planned and paid for prior booked boating excursion. With our departure due by that afternoon, we knew we were running out of time for the hoped for opportunity. I saw two men on a boat, preparing to go out to sea. The one man I approached, after explaining our frustration and dilemma, said he knows a friend, and immediately called Kevin, the owner of Marlove. I talked to Kevin personally. An hour and a half later, we paid his reasonable fee quoted to me, allowing us to engage in a truly wonderful experience of a lifetime on his boat, thd Grecale, with Mattia, who provided the 3-hour private boating excursion for my friend and I on and in the Tyrrahenian Sea. We give a glowing review for Marlove and express much gratitude for their accommodating us on short notice, their timeliness and reliability, their excellent hospitality, personableness (amiable, congenial), genuinenness, trustworthiness; knowledge of the area - showing and explaining sights of interest and stunning beauty; for two beautiful areas to swim and snorkel in; the yummy snacks and drinks provided (we chose the cold water and non-alcoholic drinks). Our entire excellent experience exceeded any expectations, resulting in a very satisfying, relaxing, enjoyable, very worthwhile experience we'll cherish always! Our ride back to town center afforded us to walk to the train station (discovering our train was canceled), where we caught a taxi to take us an hour away to the next train station where we continued our journey with pre-bought train tickets, arriving safely back to Scalea. I'm most grateful my first trip to Italy from America included my treasured opportunity with Marlove in Tropea with Kevin and Mattia!! Many thanks with all the enthusiasm and appreciation I very sincerely express!!

We had booked a different tour. The guide didn't show up, leaving seven of us sitting in the hot sun. The others left but after the journey with many train issues, we were determined to go on an excursion. My friend talked to a man at the dock who called a friend. He showed up at the exact time he said he would, and gave us a private excursion. It was incredible!!! Thank you Kevin and Mattio!!!

This is a perfect experience if you’d like a romantic sunset swim with a glass of prosseco, our skipper Vincenzo let us connect our phone to play our own music, the boat tour was the highlight of our trip

Super nice and friendly guide, delicious aperitif with snacks were offered and totally beautiful moments were captured on camera for us

truly a top-notch experience

We did a tour of Lipari, Panarea, and Stromboli; it was truly stunning, wonderful places, and I wanted to compliment the guide on the ship, the lady was truly professional and engaged us in a fabulous way; you can tell she does it with passion and transmitted all the enthusiasm for these wonderful lands.

Punctual, precise, well-organized. Onboard staff helpful and prepared. Bar available and affordable prices, a guide who explained the entire geological and mythological history of the islands and did not hold back at all. Enchanting islands. Amazing experience!

Beautiful excursion and Captain Gerardo was top-notch! There were 6 of us, and in the afternoon, due to clouds, many gave up, so we enjoyed it even more!!!

Great half-day on the Invictus SX200 boat. The crew was very kind, and the boat is very pleasant and well-equipped. Thank you!

Beautiful experience, perfect company, aperitif served by the excellent skipper Arcangelo ....

We booked a half day private tour for our family of 4. It was a beautiful day of cruising, snorkeling at different beaches and persecco with snacks. Our skipper, Vincenzo, was such a delight! He was fun, and very informative. I highly recommend Marlove and Hope you get lucky enough to have Vincenzo as your skipper for the day! Grazie 😊

All beautiful, the boat very comfortable, the skipper super friendly and nice... advised us where to go swimming with the mask and accompanied us where we were afraid... we are really satisfied with the experience!

Fantastic experience, the guys of Marlove are fantastic and attentive to our every need, aperitif much appreciated .... The beauty of this coast is breathtaking.

Our three teenage daughters did a test dive here. Roberta and her team did a fantastic job. A first clear explanation in English and then they went into the depths from the beach, each with a personal guide. A fourth diver came along to take photos and videos, which we received by email the same day. Perfect service and a great experience that we highly recommend. Many thanks Roberta and team!

Fantastic experience with friends led by skipper Dario. A special thank you to Giada for the perfect organization and for chasing us to bring forward the day trip due to bad weather. Fantastic experience that we recommend to everyone. Beautiful day spent with 9 of us swimming and diving in the beautiful waters of the Costa degli Dei.

What a day on the beautiful Calabrian coastline. Don’t muck around with the bulk passenger boats, go straight to Marlowe. Our boat trip was private but they do semi private trips as well. The water, the snorkelling and cave swimming was really special which speaks volumes when you’re from Queensland, Australia. Fun crew, great skipper and the best guides. Lock them in
