We’re all about living life the dolce far niente way – being carefree, relaxed, rested. There’s beauty in taking a moment to do nothing and we’re here to remind you of that, because once you step onto a ChaCha boat ride, time stands still and the outside world fades away. Wondering what we’re talking about? Well, the pretty-looking Gozzo Sorrentino boats from the Amalfi Coast have made its way into the Dubai waters now. You can now tour Dubai on a private Gozzo boat, affectionally called Cha Cha boats. Offering a perfect blend of coastal charm and laid-back luxury, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.
What are gozzo boats?
Gozzos are traditional Italian fishing boats from the Amalfi Coast. They were first built in the seventeenth century, in shipyards around the Marina Grande area of Sorrento. Gozzo boats were popular with fishermen for the shallow waters catching of “white” fish.
