3.00Honestly, our boat tour was just kind of meh. The captain barely talked or explained anything, which made the whole trip feel a bit flat. There wasn’t even any music since the boat didn’t have speakers, which made it feel a little awkward at times. We only got half a bottle of Prosecco, got dropped off about an hour early, and didn’t stop for lunch at the place we were told we would. The views were beautiful (it’s Positano, after all), but overall it felt like a rushed, bare-minimum experience — definitely not what we expected for the price.
Trip was amazing. Captain...

5.00An unforgettable private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast! We loved snorkeling, swimming by the waterfall, and stopping at a perfect beachside restaurant. The views were spectacular, but what made it truly special was our captain, Alessandro, whose passion for Amalfi’s history elevated the entire experience. Grazie mille to our captain for making this such a memorable day—we couldn’t have asked for better!
Absolute best way to see the Amalfi coast

5.00We can’t recommend this private boat tour enough. It was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. The team showed incredible flexibility, allowing us to move our reservation by two days so we could enjoy perfect weather. Our captain, Luigi, from Maiori, was exceptional—skilled, knowledgeable, and full of stories about the coastline and its history. Unlike crowded tourist boats or risky rentals, we felt completely safe in his hands. He provided cold drinks, gave us plenty of opportunities to stop when we wanted, and even brought us to a fabulous seaside restaurant only accessible by private boat. The whole experience was seamless, relaxing, and unforgettable! If you’re visiting the Amalfi Coast, this is the way to see it—highly, highly recommend!
Best day ever!

5.00This private tour was incredible! It truly was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide Francesco was the best. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the amalfi coast. He was so kind to recommend and arrange lunch at a great family owned restaurant. We stopped to swim multiple times at different locations. We were on the 40ft Boat named Again and it was worth the splurge. The company/owner valeria was very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend this company and our guide.
Epitome of Amalfi Vacation.

5.00This was our favorite day on the Amalfi Coast. I visited Positano with my husband and two teenage children, and we all agreed this was the highlight. Agusto was awesome and took us up the coast. It is an absolutely stunning view from the sea! We stopped for swimming in few caves and my son even did some cliff jumping. Drinks and towels were provided also. Lunch reservations were made for us in advance and it was delicious. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

5.00Ask for Luigi he is by far the best captain we have had here in Italy and we have done 3 all day boat tours now with amazing captains! Highly recommend him and this company. They were on time and communicated perfectly and Luigi took us to all the perfect spots including a great lunch spot. This was the best tour we have done and we did Taormina in Sicily and Capri from Sorrento. Amalfi is hands down the best boat tour with amazing swim spots and beaches to hang out on and the towns along Amalfi are stunning.
Do it! You will be so glad you did!

5.00Francesco was a fabulous captain and host. We loved spending the day- just the four of us- swimming and enjoying the water. The historical narrative was a plus and the girls loved the amazing photo ops. This is a must do while on the coast and was THE highlight of our trip to Amalfi. The outing was worth every penny. We were so glad to escape the crowds and hop on the gorgeous boat with Francesco!
Amazing! Fantastic!!!!

5.00We went to Europe for 15 days and spent 4 in Sorrento! This boat trip was one of the highlights for the entire family! Our captain was wonderful and so fun! The boat was beautiful and had an amazing deck pillow to lay on! We went to a beautiful restaurant for lunch that is only accessible by boat (on the company's recommendation) and it was one of the best meals we had the entire trip! We swam in the sea several times, went cliff jumping, and relaxed while seeing the Amalfi Coast! I cannot recommend this boat trip enough! It was worth every penny!
