Excellent service, beautiful scenery. Great way to spend the day. Our captain was very knowledgeable and went over and above to make our day very special. He noticed we were out of ice, immediately made a phone call and a dingy showed up port side with a bucket of ice in a matter of minutes! Highly recommend!
Amazing cities of the Amalfi Coast!

Our capitan, Luigi, was a great wealth of information and patience. His ability to navigate the small spaces was impeccable! The views and the waters were beautiful, although the water was a bit chilly (it was invigorating! ). Would do another outing with him any time!
Excellent day! Amazing...

Excellent day! Amazing views of the coast. Driver friendly and knowledgeable. Boat alway under control.
Great Day Trip to Amalfi!
Lauren_K, Oct 2022
We did this day trip during our time in Positano. The booking and pickup were so easy! We checked in at the main pier in Positano and were advised where we would pick up the boat. Our capitan, Emilio, was great! As we sailed along the coast to the town of Amalfi, he pointed out various points of interest and gave us information about what we were seeing. We stopped once on the way there for a swim stop, which was so nice! We were let off in Amalfi around lunch time. It was a perfect amount of time to walk around a bit and grab lunch. On the way back, we had another swim stop. We also had a prosecco toast at sunset! The boat was stocked with waters and beers also for the day. Our group was small (about 10 other people) and we quickly made friends with each other! It was really a great day. Would highly recommend this if you're in the Positano or Praiano area. It is also a great value given that it is a full day activity. We would definitely do this again!
Superb day - highly recommend

We loved being on the boat and viewing the coastline. The directions were very concise making it easy to find our meeting place. It was well organized getting to the boat.
We stopped and swam at three different swimming spots. We stopped twice going to Amalfi and once coming back from Amalfi. The swimming was the highlight. The skipper did not encourage us to do the emerald grotto tour, in his opinion, it wasn’t worth it. He did bring us to another spot to swim but I would have liked to been given the option to do the emerald tour. He did not make it clear if we all had to do the emerald tour as a group or we could’ve done it individually. We were dropped off in Amalfi for about 3 hours. You could either walk around , shop , eat , or tour Duomo de Amalfi cathedral which was right in town , or go to the beach. I would highly recommend this tour!!
Awesome Day, Don’t Miss This !!

My teenage daughter and I had a really awesome day on this boat trip ! Boat is spacious enough to spread out a bit, it’s super clean and very comfortable. Meeting spot on Positano beach was super easy, especially considering how overwhelming this port can be. Driver, Christian was awesome. I am so happy that we did this and I would do it again if I had more time here! This was by far the highlight of our trip !
A must do!!!

Too crowded
Rita_S, Sep 2021
We have seen all important places of the coast and the skipper told us interesting facts.
The boat was with more than 20 people too crowded - especially in times of Corona. Just half of the group could have a place outside.
