Really easy to deal with by email before, and in person while there. Loved driving my own boat (never done it before, but was quality). Matey instructed us how to... read more operate it, but the part where you drive into the shore to drop off people then head back out was not very clear (I think a practise attempt at the nearby Cala Gonone beach should have been included). Didnt matter much in the end anyway, as every time I tried to do it on any of the beaches, a grumpy old man would shout at me to F off back out to sea (apparently it was too wavy for small boats, but that was a load of crap, as other boats of the same size were allowed in - the tour ones with pro
drivers). Ended up anchoring 100m from shore for each beach, and swimming in, but couldn't bring towels that way, so spoilt it slightly. Also wasn't allowed on Mariole beach at all as didn't have a 1 euro ticket which you must have before you leave port (Palmesera said it was a new rule that particular beach owner brought in on that day, but other boats had them and were allowed on, so not sure why they didn't know about it, which was a real let down - they said I could drive back to another beach miles away to purchase one, but I shouldn't have to if they gave me it at the start - I doubt I'd even be able to get one there anyway as they wouldn't even let me near the beach to get my wallet out). Overall a great day, but I think I'd go for the 12 person with driver tour next time, as you're guaranteed to get on the beaches without rebuff - not Palmasera's fault, but they could have warned us it might happen - wasn't told jack about it. Reason I rented one was basically to smash up the waves and that part was totally worth it, but beach wise it was a bit of a disaster. €40 for petrol at the end made it €200 in total, which was double what we would have paid if doing the driver tour for €50 each, but no qualms about that, although would have been 'more' worth it if they'd let us on at least one bloody beach!

  Perfect boat, perfect service. Rosa is very nice and Sergio also:) both were very helpfull. We enjoyed whole day a lot! Great choice:)

  Escursione equilibrata del golfo, un misto di tutti e tempo passato in spiaggia dove vi lascia lo skipper. Consiglio di chiedere al box borsa frigo, ombrellone e maschera se... read more la avete dimenticata. È possibile vedere la grotta del fico durante l’escursione, per vederla si paga 10

  We are so glad we did this. Absolutely stunning views. Rosa was in the box. A wonderful kind lady who explained us what to do and where to go. Then... read more at the beach Vincent picked us up and explained us how everything works and of we were on our adventure! This all is highly recommendable!

  We hired a boat with this company And was very impressed. Rosa and staff were very helpful, we had never driven a boat before but her instructions were easy to... read more follow. It was a great way to see the water and beaches of Cala Ganone, you just anchor where you like and spend as much or little time in each location without having to worry about a schedule. The kids enjoyed just jumping off the boat when we reached a stunning location. Lots of snorkeling and caves to explore. We were given an ice box for our lunch and drinks, umbrella and the boat had a sun shade to use if required. If there is one thing you do in Cala Ganone, this should be it. Best day I have ever had on a holiday.

  Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good on the day of our rent but the experience was still good. A short instruction in the beginning and the cruise started. You can... read more swim to the beaches (except for Cala Goloritzé - which is good 🙂 or just enjoy the sea and its waves. After the day we had to pay 45 Euro for the refuel. Overall a nice experience!

  My girlfriend and I booked this the day before - was 200 Euros for the day and worth it. The lady in the kiosk was pretty clear and provided us... read more with a coolbox and umbrella. The boat guy, Manuel, was really nice and helped us to understand how to operate the boat.
We went to Cala Goritze first then back along the beaches and had great fun cruising looking at the impressive coastline, caves and beaches and also push the limit to high-speeds and bouncing across the coast!
One of must be a strong swimmer to be able to get to shore after dropping anchor (which is not difficult) and luckily, we both were so did not have to faff with paddling to shore and then out again (motors cannot be run right near the shore). Afterwards, filled up the tank at the dock fuel station - which we were told about earlier - cost around 30 Euros. Overall, had a brilliant day - will be very memorable.

  If you visit Cala Gonone, you HAVE to hire a boat!!! Lots of other hire companies but this experience was an absolute pleasure!! The staff were fantastic, offered us a... read more cool box for the day free of charge. After a very quick but good intro on how to drive your boat, we were let loose on the open seas, free to discover the amazing beaches and coast line. Without doubt, the highlight of our holiday.
I cannot say a bad word about this company from start to finish.
Thank you for giving us these memories!!

  Very nice and relaxing way to enjoy the beach and ocean. We payed 100eu for the boat (with sunscreen) and 28 for gas. We had a very comfortable day

  My wife and I hired a boat in July 2015 so we could cruise along the coast. The scenery was wonderful, the sea crystal clear and so blue and... read more great to swim in deep water. The service we received from Palmasera boat rental was excellent, the boat was perfect and had a canopy for protection from the sun. We were shown all the controls and what to do before we left on our own and had a great day. Only thing that could have been better would have been a slightly longer ladder to get back on the boat when in deep water.

Highly recommend grabbing sandwiches to go from Retrovino Market Bar for lunch later!

  Absolutely perfect service, very nice owners, boats in perfect conditions, good prices and, very important, absolutely honest with fuel....in comparison to almost other boat rentals at Cala Gonone!
