Terms & Conditions

Last updated: (February 2026)

1. Scope of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of the website naplesboatexperience.com (the “Website”) and the submission of booking requests for boat tours operated under the brand Naples Boat Experience (the “Services”).

By using the Website and submitting a booking or contact request, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Operator and Contracting Party

The operator of the Website and provider of the Services is Davide Blasio, Italian citizen, trading under the brand “Naples Boat Experience”, who performs occasional boat charter in accordance with applicable Italian law (maximum 42 trips per year, with each trip notified to the Harbour Master’s Office and the Italian Revenue Agency).

Contact details:

• Certified email (PEC): davideblasio@pec.it

• Phone: +39 331 312 8426

• Website: **https://www.naplesboatexperience.com**​

Any charter contract is concluded directly between you and Davide Blasio as an individual operator.

3. Nature of the Website – Booking Requests Only

The Website allows users to:

• view information and prices for proposed boat tours

• submit booking requests for specific dates, times and tour options

• send general enquiries via contact forms.

Submitting a booking request through the Website does not create a binding booking or contract.

After receiving your request, the operator will:

• check actual availability for the selected date and time

• contact you by email or WhatsApp to confirm whether the requested tour can take place and under which conditions (final schedule, any deposit, cancellation policy, etc.).

Only after this direct confirmation, and after signing the occasional charter contract on board, does the contractual relationship become effective.

No online payment is taken on the Website. All payments are handled directly on board, typically in cash or by bank transfer, or according to other arrangements agreed in writing with the operator.

4. Prices

The prices displayed on the Website for each tour are indicative of the total cost of the service and may be:

• confirmed as such in the communication following your booking request, or

• adjusted where necessary (for example, due to special requests, different duration, extra services), in which case the updated price will be communicated to you before you confirm.

In all cases, the price and any additional costs will be clearly communicated and agreed with you via email or WhatsApp before the tour is definitively confirmed.

5. Confirmation, changes and cancellations

5.1 Confirmation

A booking is considered provisionally accepted when you receive a message from Naples Boat Experience (email or WhatsApp) confirming:

• date and approximate time

• type of tour

• indicative price and main conditions.

The definitive conclusion of the contract takes place when the occasional charter contract is signed on board and any agreed deposit or payment is made.

5.2 Changes and cancellations by the customer

Because no payment is taken at the time of the online request, there is generally no risk of losing a pre‑paid amount due to cancellation via the Website.

Any specific terms regarding:

• deadlines for confirming or cancelling the tour

• possible deposits

• late cancellation or no‑show rules

will be discussed and agreed case by case with you via email or WhatsApp and may be included in the written communications and/or in the contract signed on board.

You are requested to inform the operator as soon as possible if you wish to change or cancel your request or confirmed tour.

5.3 Cancellation or changes by the operator (weather and safety)

Safety comes first. The operator reserves the right, at his sole discretion, to:

• postpone, modify or cancel a tour if sea and weather conditions, technical issues with the boat, or other safety reasons make the trip unsafe or not reasonably enjoyable

• change the itinerary or schedule if required by weather, sea conditions, port authorities or other objective circumstances.

In case of cancellation before departure for safety or technical reasons:

• if you have already paid any amount (e.g. deposit), a new date may be proposed, or a refund can be offered;

• no further compensation or damages will be owed beyond the refund of amounts already paid, if any.

6. Rules on board

To ensure safety and a pleasant experience for everyone, all guests must:

• follow the instructions given by the skipper and crew at all times

• use life jackets and other safety equipment when requested

• refrain from behaviour that may endanger themselves, other passengers or the vessel

• not bring on board illegal substances, weapons or dangerous objects

• treat the vessel, its equipment and furnishings with care.

The operator reserves the right to:

• refuse boarding or interrupt the tour for passengers whose behaviour is dangerous, abusive or clearly inappropriate (for example due to excessive alcohol use), without any right to refund.

Any damage intentionally or negligently caused by a guest to the boat or its equipment may be charged to the person responsible.

7. Liability

The operator undertakes to provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, in accordance with applicable maritime safety regulations.

However, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• the operator shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages, such as loss of flights, missed connections with cruise ships (e.g. failure to re‑embark), hotel costs, or other expenses not directly related to the tour price;

• the operator’s liability is in any case limited to the amount actually paid by the customer for the tour in question, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

The vessel and passengers are covered by the mandatory nautical insurance required by Italian law (within the limits and conditions of the relevant policy). This clause does not exclude or limit liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer protection laws.

8. User responsibilities

By submitting a booking request and/or participating in a tour, you declare that:

• the information you provide is truthful and accurate

• you are legally capable of entering into a contract under your national law

• you are an adult (18+) and, if minors take part in the tour, you act as their parent or legal guardian.

You are responsible for familiarising yourself with the meeting time and location indicated by the operator and for arriving on time. Delays that make it impossible to depart may be treated as a no‑show according to the conditions agreed individually.

9. Use of the Website

You agree to use the Website only for legitimate purposes and not to:

• attempt to interfere with its proper functioning

• carry out unauthorised access or security tests

• copy or reuse content (text, images, logo) for commercial purposes without prior written consent.

The content of the Website, including text, photos, logo and layout, is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced or used without permission.

10. Privacy and cookies

The processing of personal data collected through the Website is described in the Privacy Policy, available at the appropriate link.

The use of cookies and similar technologies is governed by the Cookie Policy. By using the Website you acknowledge that you have read these documents.

11. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These Terms, as well as any dispute arising out of or in connection with the use of the Website or the Services, are governed by Italian law, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence.​

For any dispute that cannot be amicably resolved, the exclusive jurisdiction shall lie with the Court of Naples (Tribunale di Napoli), Italy, unless a different forum is required by mandatory consumer law.

12. Changes to these Terms

The operator may amend these Terms at any time, for example to reflect changes in the Services or in applicable law. Updated versions will be published on this page and will apply from the date of publication.
