Restart Boat

What Restart Boat does

Restart Boat, legally registered as RESTART SRL with €50,000 share capital and headquartered at Via Cristoforo Colombo 81 in Meta (Naples), is a family-owned Italian private boat tour operator established by the Pollio family and active since 2011. Operating from a public-facing office at Corso Italia 333 in Piano di Sorrento, the company runs a fleet of 30+ vessels ranging from 5–6 passenger open boats (e.g., Romar Bermuda 570, Sparviero 700 Emerald) to superyachts for up to 12 guests (e.g., Pershing 9X, Ferretti 860, Maiora 90, Custom Line 106). All charters are crewed by multilingual, English-speaking local skippers and include fuel, professional crew, drinks, and taxes; no bareboat rentals are offered.

The company's revenue is generated through six primary streams: private boat tours (the core offering), multi-day yacht charters (Mini Cruises, 3–7 days), point-to-point water taxi transfers, cruise ship shore excursions synced to port schedules, water-toy rentals (jet ski, SEABOB, SUP), and specialized romantic or party tours. Pricing is fully quote-based, with no published tiers, and demand inputs include itinerary, departure port, guest count, and date; vessel capacity is capped at 12 guests per Italian maritime law.

Restart Boat executes a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no intermediaries: lead capture happens via the website (restartboat.it), Instagram (@restartboat), Facebook, TripAdvisor listings, and direct phone, WhatsApp, and email ([email protected] / [email protected]). The company employs 11–50 people, serves customer segments including couples/honeymooners, families, celebration groups, cruise passengers, and yacht owners, and operates seasonally (April–October) within the Gulf of Naples and Tyrrhenian Sea region including Capri, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Positano, Naples, Ischia, Procida, and Salerno.
