This was a great trip. Cool captain, good boat, beautiful swimming locations. The one drawback was the restaurant they dropped us off at. It was a typical tourist trap - over-priced and not that good. I’d suggest eating during the Amalfi drop off. You’d get better food for a better price. Overall though, I’d still highly recommend this trip.

Saulo was our guide. He was professional, engaging, prepared, helpful and accommodating. He offered more choices than water and soda. Nice after lunch surprise toast and a sweet. It was a wonderful day.

One of the most enjoyable experiences of our lives. Well managed, well run, our Captain was amazing!!! We left the kids at home but they would have loved this. I promise you I will take this tour again.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Our guide, Massimo, demonstrated a passion for his home land. Highly recommend this tour. We were staying in Positano, and we thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to tour Amalfi. The boat ride was a treat.

Sandro the tour guide and captain was outstanding. He provided great information on our tour of the Amalfi coast and we had a great day of swimming and diving with our very small group. Lunch was great and Sandro even provided drinks and pastries on the way back to the port. Great tour and I would highly recommend this tour

This tour was amazing!

The staff does an incredible job of catering to your needs and personalizing the experience. It was a lot of fun and the prosecco didn’t hurt!

Review by:   Monica G,    October 2017
Wonderful tour! We had a great day with a few swim stops. Our tour guide was really informative and a lot of fun adding a personal touch to the day. We stopped off at the recommended lunch stop out on a beach which I wouldn't recommend. It was a lovely view but the prices were high and the food average, I would recommend eating at Amalfi instead. This was a great way to see Positano and it's surrounds from the water. Great tour!

Swam in caves! This was incredible.

Review by:   Robert G,    October 2017
Fabio was Fabulous!!! I'm not very sea worthy as far as balance goes and Fabio made sure I was taken care of all the time! My husband really enjoyed swimming at the stops along the way! Fabio was very informative and made the entire experience so much fun! He made homemade Limocello and had dessert for us after our lunch that can only be accessed by boat-Theresa's Restorante! Thank you Fabio for an great experience!!! You are what makes excursions like this something to remember!

Awesome trip. We'd do it again for sure.

Review by:   Leonard D,    September 2017
The captain was great. Very informative! The boat was nice and clean. The water was really rough because it had rain the day before. Since it was so rough, we decided to take a ferry back to Positano. The company was so nice to reimburse us half of our total because of that. I def would use them again when i visit.

Review by:   Laureen B,    September 2017
WOW WOW WOW! This is a MUST-DO if you are visiting the Amalfi Coast. You MUST sit and relax and see the views from the ocean, the most beautiful views ever and the only way to thoroughly enjoy the coast. The tour company was awesome as well as they called/texted/emailed me due to cancellation because of rain on my original date, luckily I just texted them and got to reschedule for Saturday!! Easy! Pepe and his assistant, were awesome on the impeccably beautiful boat. They were super accommodating with offering drinks, including beer, some prosecco popping and a homemade taste of limoncello! Pepe also served us some delicious Italian cookies and walked around the boat talking about the sites and being very accommodating. They even had towels on board and fun-noodles. They were easy going and stopped about 3 times to swim and offered more times as well in beautiful grottos, bays, private beaches and more. They picked the most beautiful spots to stop. Also, we stopped at the emerald grotto and paid our 5 euro to do the small boat ride, worth it! It was very beautiful inside, and the water does indeed glow emerald! Our stop at Amalfi was perfect, giving us 3 hours in the area, or the choice to go to lunch at the private beach only accessible by boat. We chose to do Ravello, and though it was about 25 min drive up with bus, and back by taxi, we had only about an hour and half in the town. We chose to see Villa Cimbrone, which was beautiful. Ravello was a beautiful town and I would highly recommend but yes one way has to be taken by the taxi as time is short! This was the most beautiful, relaxing day ever. When I do return to the coast, I would do this boat tour over and over and over. What a heavenly day! Thank you Pepe and crew!

When booking a trip from Positano, please make sure you book the exact route you want to visit. we very nearly saw the coast from a boat and missed the visit to Capri! We were very fortunate that Francesco was kind enough to fit us in. wonderful beyond words

Review by:   Denise F,    August 2017
Loved every minute of this tour! The boat was beautiful. Our Captain, Marco, was engaging and informative. His love for the coast shone through! He and his assistant, Hermes, were doting on everyone. Stops along the way for swimming, ample towels, sightseeing and limoncello shots! Highly recommend

Review by:   Matthew R,    August 2017
Best Part of the Italy trip. Should have stayed multiple days in Positano / Amalfi area. Fabio was an excellent and fun guide plus the weather was awesome

Review by:   Paul D,    August 2017
Fantastic boat trip, staff on the shore and on-board were all really helpful and friendly. Best way to end the holiday and see the Amalfi coast!

Review by:   Donna B,    August 2017
The tour was outstanding as was the boat captain. The personal touch allowed us to feel as if we knew the captain for years and as if family. Tip these folks, there is no better service and people entertaining you. Thank you so much, cheers, Francesco, Angelo, Marko, the best, chin chin....

Review by:   Joseph N,    August 2017
My wife and I had one of the best boat tours with Marco, who was not only knowledgeable but charming. He took good care of us and we had a great time! Both Julie and Elizabeth in the both were helpful and kind. We would certainly recommend this tour to everyone. The value is incomparable. The Amalfi Coast from Positano to Amalfi is breathtaking. A must do and see!

Review by:   Riaz D,    July 2017
This is a must if you are staying in Positano. Marco was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable. We had unlimited Peroni and Prosseco on the boat. It was amazing! The tour itself was great - we stopped near a cave to swim for a few minutes. I am not a great swimmer but I requested a life jacket and it was an amazing experience.

Review by:   Justin K,    July 2017
This tour is a great value and was a highlight of our trip. We loved spending the day on the water seeing the Amalfi Coast. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Review by:   carlaksonzek,    July 2017

This was the absolute best part of our holiday in Italy! Our Captain Peppe was awesome, he was incredible knowledgeable, fun and hospitable. We went swimming in some incredible locations including tunnels and caves in the side of cliffs. We decided to take the option of lunch at a beach only reachable by boat, and the fresh seafood was absolutely incredible. We finished off the day with wine, limoncello and cakes. Truly an unmissable experience if you are visiting the Amalfi Coast!

Review by:   Soane M,    July 2017
Literally the highlight of my entire Europe trip. My boyfriend and I (both 26) had the best time! It was fun, relaxing and so worth it! Beautiful scenery, awesome swimming spots, and we ended up with a really great group to share the journey with. A definite must when in Positano.

Review by:   Ashley H,    July 2017
An amazing tour with an excellent tour leader!

Review by:   zach r,    July 2017
This was such a fun cruise to Amalfi! We enjoyed our time on sitting near the captain and hearing the stories of the local areas we passed by. On this particular cruise, they offered to pick us up after an hour of being in Amalfi to take us to a beach club, otherwise, they would come back to pick us up at the end of the day so that you can enjoy the town longer.. We opted to go to the beach club, but if we did this again, we would have stayed in Amalfi to walk around even go up to Ravello, since we didn't have a chance to go back and do that.

Review by:   Marie Ann A,    June 2017
One of our best experiences in Europe. Everyone was so friendly. Marco, our boat captain , made sure everything was comfortable for us. He even layed our towels out , so it would be dry before our next swim. That's personal service. Mahalo from Hawaii!

great tour, highly recommended!

Review by:   Denise M,    June 2017
Nothing short of spectacular! The guide was fun and informative, the waters beautiful and swimming in the grottos an experience not to be missed. Oh, how I wish I could go back!

Review by:   Andrew T,    May 2017
Great way to spend day touring the Amalfi coast. Fabio was a great captain and host.

Review by:   teresa.wang.goeddel,    May 2017
Wonderful day cruise. My family of 5 really enjoyed the day. The small group size really allowed us to get to know the other passengers on the boat, and although the water was too cold to swim, we really enjoyed the gorgeous views of the Amalfi Coast and the time in Amalfi, where we enjoyed a pizza lunch and some shopping. I would highly recommend this to anyone spending time on the Amalfi Coast!

Review by:   med33433,    May 2017
Best Experience we had in Italy. It was a beautiful way to spend the day. The customer service was amazing and the tour was spectacular.

Review by:   Natalie G,    April 2017
The 12 person tour from Positano to Amalfi was exceptional due to the amazing skipper we had, Angelo. He was attentive and explained where we were providing color to the cruise. Angelo attended to every detail and gave us an incredible experience.

Review by:   Camille M,    November 2016
This was the best value of anything I did in the Amalfi Coast! Salvatore was absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and fun. I would recommend not doing the blue grotto major tourist trap but other than that I had a fabulous day drinking peronis, snorkeling, and tanning on the front of the boat. AND I got my quintiessential Positano picture on the boat with the gorgeous hillside town in the background I am a 23 year old girl so this was important to me! Don't hesitate to book this tour!

Review by:   John R,    October 2016
Great day out on the boat with a small group of people. An excellent day cruising the Amalfi Coast . Stopping for a swim , the Emerald grotto and Almafi.

Review by:   Julie S,    October 2016
This tour is definitely worth the money. Our guide Salvitore was great!!!

Review by:   Katherine V,    October 2016
I can't rate this high enough - we toured Italy for 7 weeks which included a Mediterranean Cruise, and this day Cruise was an absolute highlight of our whole trip. After spending 4 days in the hustle and bustle of Rome, this was the perfect relaxing day we needed. I must admit when I booked it I had no idea just how special the day would be. I would, and have recommended it to anyone I know travelling to Italy. Our family group was aged between 7 and 62 Grandchildren, Children and Grandparents and it appealed to everyone. Our captain Salvatore made the day very special and was very entertaining and informative. This is one activity that I will certainly do again if I go back to Italy. This day will remain a very special memory for all my family.

Review by:   MARNEY S,    August 2016
I can highly recommend this day trip from Positano._br/_ The boat was comfortable, authentic and stocked with ice cold drinks- lemocello after lunch was lovely.

Review by:   Selwyn Z,    August 2016
fantastic excursion, highly recomended

Review by:   Jason D,    August 2016
I screwed up and got this trip when i meant to book the one to Capri. This was a great mistake. My kids wanted to snorkel and swim and the lady at the desk on the beach said this was a better one for that. Peppe the boat captain i think his name was did an awesome job and translated to the Italian and French on the trip along with english for us. Amalfi was a great town and we swam their too. We stopped and swam into a cave and then again at a private beach. it was a great trip!

Review by:   Rob N,    August 2016
Fantastic day tour, can't recommend it highly enough. The best way to see the Amalfi coastline. As other reviews said, Salvatore our guide was wonderful, friendly and helpful and even brought some home made limencello along!! A real must do if you're in Positano

Review by:   Ginette T,    August 2016
the tour was an amazing experience and Peppe was the best captain anyone can ask for! We really enjoyed this tour

Review by:   Josephine S,    July 2016
I highly recommend this trip!! Much better than expected with a luxurious boat and Angelo our driver was magnificent. Lots of stop offs to jump into the water and snorkel at no added cost, cold drinks provided and great service. Best way to see the Amalfi coast for the day, arriving back at 5:30pm.

Review by:   Christina A,    July 2016
One word: unbelievable! The best thing I did in Italy... Breathtaking views, beautiful private boat , swimming in the ocean , prosecco, fresh pastries , fruit... Best way to see Amalfi coast ! Don and #39;t bother paying to go into the emerald grotto (5 euro per person), nothing special . Loved this tour !!
