    Nick and RJ were our gondoliers. They had great attitudes and on actually competes in gondola races so we were in great hands. It was a calm nice night on the water. They fed 16 of us a great meal whole we were taken through the canals. We would highly recommend it for anyone looking to have a unique experience with their friends and loved ones.

    Staff were great, we booked to celebrate our anniversary with a unique experience. I love the add on options, we did charcuterie, rose petals, and message in a bottle. Relaxing, romantic, and enjoyed a fun to see those houses!

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise on Naples Island. We highly recommend it. Eric did a fantastic job rowing for us. He even sang happy birthday to my husband under a special bridge.
