If necessary, routes or itineraries can be changed by the captain at any time. The boat tour will be refundable only if on the scheduled day the weather is deemed “unsafe” by the boat captain, in which case the provider will offer to either re-schedule or to honor a full refund. If the captain says that the weather and sea conditions are safe to go out, the boat tour is considered firm and non-refundable.

5.00Francesco was our guide and he was fabulous!!!! Prompt , informative and funny. Pointed out all the places of interest and suggested a restaurant with the most delicious food and lemoncello spritzer. A fantastic experience.

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!
Choose a different tour company.

1.00This was the worst and most expensive private boat tour I have ever taken. Our captain was rude and clearly did not want to be there making the entire experience uncomfortable for my entire family. The Viator listing states that the tour stops at the Emerald grotto and that Prosecco, beer, soda, and water are provided. When we got on the boat, we said we wanted to see the Emerald grotto. The captain was obviously mad that we didn't want to follow his plan, so he took us out of the way to see some crappy grotto that we could not even eenter.He pulled the boat up to it and just said, "there is a grotto." He then did not say one word the rest of the trip. Never offered any drinks, which were supposed to be a part of the package. He took us to the lunch restaurant they push on you. When we were done eating, he was nowhere to be found. We spent 30 mins looking for him at the restaurant. When we texted him through whatsapp, he said he was on the boat waiting for us. Lol. He never told us a damn thing. He was miserable and rude and did not want to be there. We did not get what we paid for or get to do what we wanted. Our captain was on his cell phone the entire time and did not take one second to tell us about anything we were seeing. We booked a group tour the next day for 1/3 the price and had a way better time. I cannot express how crappy this entire experience was. Stefano is horrible. CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TOUR COMPANY.
