BOSTON, MA, January 29, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In an era where travel is increasingly managed by algorithms and AI-automated platforms, KissFromItaly — a premier boutique operator with headquarters in Boston and operational offices in Florence, Italy — is doubling down on the "human-first" element. The company today announced a strategic expansion of its maritime portfolio, debuting two flagship 2026 models—a 42ft custom cruiser and a 52ft luxury motor yacht—reinforcing a fleet that now exceeds 30 vessels dedicated to private boat tours on the Amalfi Coast.

Expanding the Fleet of Luxury Yachts - The 2026 expansion introduces a 42ft custom cruiser and a 52ft luxury motor yacht, adding new depth to a fleet carefully articulated into four distinct service lines: Traditional, Comfort, Sport, and Luxury. This tiered approach allows KissFromItaly to provide tailored experiences for every traveler profile, from romantic excursions for couples to fun, safe trips for families.

The Anti-Algorithm Approach to Travel Services - While global booking platforms offer "off-the-shelf" boat rentals, KissFromItaly leverages 20+ years of local expertise to provide what AI cannot: Genuine Human Warmth.

"The market is changing," says Andrea Barsotti, Founder of KissFromItaly. "In a travel world increasingly dominated by preconfigured AI services, the desire for human touch and deep personalization is becoming more important than ever. The emotional understanding of a client's needs is at the core of our service—it is something ChatGPT or any other AI simply cannot match."

Reliability Meets Scale - With a 20+ year track record, hundreds of glowing reviews from luxury clients and travel agents, and a consistent Badge of Excellence on TripAdvisor and Viator, KissFromItaly's 30+ boat fleet offers a level of operational reliability rarely found in the fragmented Amalfi Coast charter market. For travel advisors, this means a "one-stop-shop" for every client profile, backed by a 24/7 on-the-ground team that handles every detail of the itinerary.

The No-AI Advantage: Luxury is Personal - "People are not looking for cold, automated answers," adds Barsotti. "They want personal attention and a partner who cares for their specific needs. A chatbot can't feel the heartbeat of a celebration. We specialize in the details that algorithms ignore: coordinating a surprise flower arrangement for a proposal, hiring a professional on-board photographer, stocking a specific vintage of Chardonnay, or securing the 'impossible' table at a secluded seaside restaurant in Nerano."

Beyond the logistics, KissFromItaly focuses on personal care: matching families with patient, child-friendly skippers, or providing attentive, discreet captains for honeymooning couples. "We don't just provide a boat; we provide the soul of an Italian summer, curated specifically for your story," says Barsotti.

Total Regional Access: From All Hubs to All Gems - Recognizing that true luxury is about seamless convenience, KissFromItaly provides private boat tours and charters departing from every major hub, including Naples, Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. This comprehensive network provides exclusive access to the Mediterranean's most coveted destinations: the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia, and Procida.
