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.

5.00If you're considering a private boat tour, this one is an absolute MUST! And if you can, do it with Francesco. It's not just a boat ride; it's a memory that will stay with you forever. Our family had an out of this world experience, from the tour of the coast and history of the grottos, to the lunch recommendation and flexibility of Francesco. Definitely booking again when we return next year!!

5.00Our captain Francesco was fantastic! Both Francesco and Flora at Exclusive Cruises communicated very well, given the port at Positano was crowded at our pick up time, etc. Our lunch at La Tonnarella was just magnificent (I recommend the flounder - expensive but worth it). Such a wonderful and memorable day!
Best day ever!

5.00The best day of our trip to Amalfi coast! The team was so helpful leading up to the day, helping make reservations for lunch and coordinating pick up right from the town of Praiano that we stayed in. The day itself was beautiful and Luigi led an amazing tour for us around Capri and the coast. Couldn't recommend this experience more!
Poor weather ruined a great Program

4.00We had terrible weather and didn’t get to swim. The captain idled to fill the day but this allowed the boat to bob up and down the whole time. Any throttle would have planed us but they are just filling time so going a mile an hour faster or two doesn’t serve them well and I get that. On a nice day this would be a great experience, they don’t make the weather. The Ferry’s were cancelled everyday except that day and it was rough. We didn’t go to Capri and I had no desire as we wanted to fully utilize the boat time. Staff and boat are excellent.
The best day

5.00Our private tours with Francesco from Exclusive Cruises were the highlight of our trip! We enjoyed the first one so much that we booked a second tour. Francesco was incredibly informative about the region, providing us with fascinating insights and stories. He was respectful, helpful, and always attentive to our needs. Francesco made excellent choices for lunch, taking us to two fantastic restaurants that we would have never found on our own. He took cues from us on what to do and where to stop, whether it was for site-seeing or swimming. We highly recommend booking a tour with Francesco and Exclusive Cruises!

5.00We had an amazing day on the boat! Our tour guide Augusto was very accommodating and made sure we were able to do everything we wanted to on our tour. This was our highlight of Positano and the kids loved it. Would highly recommend a private tour for families.
A MUST if you truly want to experience the Amalfi Coast

5.00Our boat captain was Franco, and our skipper was Fabrezia. Flora with Exclusive Cruises was our first point of contact. Her instructions were spot on, and we had no problem finding the boat at the port in Sorrento. Franco and Fabrezia were the perfect hosts, we had the most memorable day on the water and in Capri. We had fun swimming and taking in all the views. They even let us Bluetooth one of our phones to the boat so we could play our own playlist! A private tour is definitely the way to experience Capri and the stunning views, water, and caves. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!
