Great trip except the restaurant

4.00Overall the trip was amazing, the recommended restaurant that they take you to, is awful, and I hope its worth it to be associated with. Better to stay parked on the water for swimming than recommend that restaurant to customers. Slowest service as they are too busy with all the other companies bringing them customers. Worst fish we had in all of Amalfi, considering it only being accessible by boat and the skipper raving about it, its embarrassing how bad the beautiful fish was cooked. The captain Fabio was great, the experience as a whole is amazing, I cant say if the option of 3 hours in Amalfi town would make the trip perfect or if ordering anything but fish in the restaurant would be great, but the time allocated to the restaurant should be reconsidered and the trip could be a perfect 5. Also the skipper drives you all day and does everything he can to make your day great and keep you safe, have the decency to tip a guy for his hard work or dont take the trip.
A feast for the senses

5.00This tour was the highlight of our vacation. Carlo took us to the most amazing swimming spots and the a most generous host (and photographer!). We loved every minute of this day and can’t wait to do it again! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00This was our favourite activity we did in the Amalfi Coast! We absolutely loved our day on the water with skipper Carlo. He was super friendly, made us laugh and ensured no glass was empty. We swam at so many amazing coves that were only accessible by boat and stopped off at Amalfi for sight seeing and lunch. Incredible day on the water and I would highly recommend Blue Sun Positano to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.
Carlo!! You made our boat tour perfect. Grazie Mille!!

5.00Carlo with blue star was 10/10. Above and beyond. Effectively avoided large crowds, snuck in to see everything we could. Plenty of swim time, he brought way more beverages than we could have hoped for. Such a funny guy. He was everybody’s personal photographer and kept us safe in what felt like the busiest part of the Mediterranean. A part of me doesn’t want me to reveal this hidden gem to the world but I have to let others experience this.
Recommend small group...

5.00Recommend small group tours as we had. We were an older Australian couple ( compared to the others) and other couples were from US - don’t know how Blue Star allocated the groupings but they did a great job. We had Carlo running our day trip and would highly recommend requesting him as he was flexible and you get a bit more on the drinks side than is advertised. Awesome views and swim spots - we highly recommend this
