    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The boat cruise was easily one of the highlights of my trip. Carlo and the entire crew made the experience unforgettable from start to finish. The day was adventurous, fun, relaxing, and so well organized — truly felt taken care of every step of the way. The captains were professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe while still making the experience exciting and memorable. We visited multiple beautiful spots, had an amazing time on the water, and returned safe and sound with incredible memories. A special thank you to Carlo for being so welcoming and personable throughout the day. You can tell this team genuinely cares about giving guests an amazing experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable boat day!

    What an amazing time we really enjoyed our time with a small group of 4 other couples the crew took us to multiple swim spots and provided beverages and towels. We got to see the wonderful views cruising along the Amalfi coast and it didn’t feel too rushed. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    If you’re doing the Amalfi Coast boat tour, you’re in great hands with Carlo and Pacifico. Carlo was an incredible guide, full of energy, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm that made the whole experience so much fun. Pacifico navigated beautifully and had such a friendly, welcoming presence on board. Together they created such a great vibe for the whole group. You could tell they truly love what they do. Highly recommend — don’t hesitate, just book it!

    We had a great time and saw some unbelievable views of the Amalfi coastline. Our boat operator Mario was fantastic and stole the show with his singing and music. He also spoke very good English and gave great descriptions of what we were seeing.

  • Private Sunset Cruise with Gianfranco

    My boyfriend and I had the best experience with Gianfranco! We had a private sunset tour and everything was perfect. Gianfranco made the night so special, he gave us an amazing tour, pointing out some interesting spots along the coast. He offered to take lovely pictures of us throughout the trip without us needing to even ask, all while pouring us prosecco and offering small bites. Additionally, he offered to drop us off in Praiano where we were staying for the week so we wouldn’t have to book a taxi back from Positano. Unbeknownst to us, the marina was closed off due to filming of a new movie with Matthew mcconaughey and initially they would not let us through. Gianfranco was patient and certain we could find a way in. So we got a little extra entertainment watching Matthew drive his boat by a few times and then we were let through! It was a most memorable night and we cannot thank Gianfranco enough for being such a gracious host.

    Everything was great! The weather was not good the day that we went out, but the captain navigated choppy water really well, showed us some unique landmarks, and provided a karaoke show!
