5.00Book this trip before it sells out. We had one of the most epic days with a great group of people. We felt like long time friends an hour into the ride. It was super fun, great swimming, vibe, sightseeing on the boat and a fabulous lunch. I highly reccomend it.
Worth it! Recommend to anyone!

5.00Our guide Carlo did a fantastic job of facilitating the whole experience along with our captain Pacifico! We had plenty of drinks and snacks provided to us. Different sights were explained along the way, we stopped at the emerald grotto (shout out to Ernesto) and Amalfi, had a nice ocean view for lunch. There were several opportunities to swim and look at fish. Would recommend to anyone!
The highlight of our time...

5.00The highlight of our time in Positano. The crew was great Nicola and Alessandro and they very informative, we stopped to swim twice which was incredible, went into the emerald grotto which did not look emerald more turquoise, we could have skipped paying extra to see it. They had plenty of beer, prosecco, and snacks for us. My husband and I opted for the 3 hours in Amalfi as did the rest of the passengers no one did the lunch you could only get to only by water and we were very happy with our choice to stay the 3 hours. Overall it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.

5.00Mario was fantastic. Very passionate local Amalfi resident. Very passionate about the ocean and his music treated us like family. I suggest spending the three hours in a Amalfi There’s a restaurant with a single Michelin star that was really reasonable, Sensi, was €108 for lunch with two cocktails and there’s an amazing dessert shop Andrea Pansa, just at the bottom of the stairs. Get the local lemon desserts, do those things and visit the cathedral and your three hours will be used up pretty quickly. This trip really revolved around Mario and his kindness and welcoming personality. I’m sure it’s great with the other guides, but he was fantastic.
Best boat day with Pacifico and Carlo

5.00Pacifico and Carlo were the best!!! Today has been one of my favorite days of our trip. The tour was so much fun and the group was amazing. They gave us snacks and drinks and they were both so attentive and so fun. They definitely made the experience even more enjoyable. Best tour guides.
Love this!

Great day on the water

5.00Great day on the boat with a few swim stops and time in Amalfi. Crew could not do enough for you and gave interesting facts about the area along the way. Lots of beer, prosecco, water, and soft drinks to keep us all hydrated. Option to visit the green grotto which we passed on to take advantage of a swim instead. All on our boat chose the 3 hours in Amalfi rather than one hour in Amalfi and then a lunch at Da Teresa which was accessible only by boat (we read the reviews in advance for the restaurant and they were not good which drove our choice to stay longer in Amalfi). Would highly recommend this one to anyone looking to get out on the water and enjoy a great day.
