What To Expect

Choose a departure time that suits your schedule, then make your way to the pier in Positano, where you’ll meet your captain for the day. Board the boat and plan the perfect itinerary for your group, then pull out of Positano for the trip along the coast, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pass inlets with turquoise-colored water, stopping to swim as often as you want, and hop from village to village. You can navigate through the islands of Li Galli, a small archipelago said to be where Ulysses hear the ancient sirens’ singing, and see Praiano, a fishing village famed for silk production.

Continue to Furore and Conca di Marini, a glamorous spot beloved by Sophia Loren and Jackie Kennedy, then enjoy some free time to explore the historic town of Amalfi. Other favorite villages along the coast include Marmorata, Minori, and Maiori, and throughout the cruise, you’ll cruise to caves and natural features.

The boat is stocked with snacks, but if you’re ready for lunch, the captain can bring you to a seaside restaurant with vibrant Southern Italian Cuisine. This 6-hour cruise concludes at the original departure point.

Lawrence_R, Aug 2022

Angelo was great. We were on a slow boat that puttered along, but we got to take in the coast and stop off at Amalfi for lunch. Relaxing trip.

Breath-taking beauty and a wonderful time!!!

WOW we were floored with this tour. Renato was amaaazing. Very chill but also knowledgeble and skilled. We explored the grottos and coast line of Amalfi and got to swim 4 times and snorkle! Renato also introduced us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and we had some of the best pasta and seafood we've ever had. Can't recommend this highly enough. Renato's boat was also immaculate and beautiful!

great experience amazing sightseeing

Great day on the boat, amazing views and swimming spots. We had a really nice boat captain, shame his english was limited for communication but all was done in great atmosphere. Boat is great for relaxing and sunbathing, but as it's small engined would be great if could be a little faster to see more of the coast.

Greatest day ever

Doreen_F, Oct 2018

The private speed boat tour was worth every penny. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults and a toddler. There were ample drinks for all of us. The captain, Giovanni, gave us a great tour with safety always in his mind. We were able to swim in the sea and stopped for lunch st a seaside restaurant (that cost was on us). The views from the boat were incredible. We had done lots of tours while in Italy and this one by far was the best!! Thank you for a relaxing and pleasurable day for my entire family.

Truly an amazing experience. Our...

Truly an amazing experience. Our boat arrived on time and every need was cared for. We tour the Amalfi coast on a luxury speedboat, our skipper offered history and pointed out historical sites. After a long morning on the water our skipper suggested a great restaurant along the coast based on our taste and desire. Food was amazing, after lunch he was to pick us up and we enjoyed our long ride back along the coast on time to catch the sunset. This is on the higher end for most people for us, it was worth every penny. Will book again.
