Boat trip We caught our boat at the pier in Pogerola and from there it was a beautiful day with DiBari on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Our captain and guide and his boat were perfect for our group of six. We were able to select spots for swimming, lunch and extended views from Positano to Minori and Maiori. DiBari was a native to the coast and pointed out key places along the way, including our lunch spot with a lovely view of the sea. What a wonderful day to relax and unwind with no walking:-) Highly recommend.

Beautiful Boat Day!

Kristin_h, Apr 2024

Ivan and Luigi picked us up at our hotel and took us on a lovely ride all along the coast broken up by a delicious lunch in Nerano. Communication post booking was so easy and reliable. We would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the Amalfi coast!

The best way to see the Amalfi Coast

Jordan_K, Dec 2023

This tour with Exclusive Cruises was a major highlight of our trip to Italy. The Amalfi Coast is stunning and this all day boat tour was the best possible way to experience it. Our tour guide Lydia was so knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was very spacious and the driver was very friendly and skilled as well. Delicious prosecco and snacks were offered generously throughout and there was good flexibility to visit several of the beautiful towns and locations along the Amalfi coast. I would recommend this trip as a must to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast!

Great option to see the Amalfi Coast

Jessica_B, Nov 2023

This experience was amazing and a great, worry-free way to see the Amalfi Coast. Anyone who has been to this area knows the ferries can get very busy. We spent the day on a private boat stopping at really interesting and picturesque locations along the way (with the help of our very knowledgeable skipper), and got off for lunch at a place with delicious seafood and beautiful views. We felt we were in great hands from the moment we booked. This experience is hard to beat!

Wonderful Day on the Water

Robert_M, Nov 2023

Wonderful experience our Captain Flavio was great. He gave us information and made the day fun and informative.

Essential experience on the Amalfi Coast!

Stephanie_M, Nov 2023

Book this! It truly is the best way to experience the Amalfi Coast and worth every penny! My husband and I booked a private boat (6 hours). The boat was perfect; very clean, more than spacious with a full cabin including a bathroom. Francesco was an amazing tour guide - shared lots of history, chose the best lunch spot and found us the best spots to stop and swim (cave, waterfall, etc). Plenty of beers / prosecco available for us. We went in October so it wasn't crowded at all on the water and we had the perfect day.

Breathtaking. BOOK THE TRIP.

Keanna_B, Oct 2023

Our boat excursion was absolutely amazing. Seeing the coast from a boat is just breathtaking. The water was gorgeous, the weather was perfect (we went in early October), and our boat guide, Agusto, was awesome. He knows all the best spots for jumping and swimming, and he really made sure that we genuinely enjoyed our adventure. Nothing beats drinking champagne on a boat while cruising the Italian coast. We booked a private excursion, so it was just my husband and I. Highly recommend a private excursion, if you can swing it. Book it--it's worth every penny.

Boat trip...

Haile_F, Oct 2023

Fantastic boat excursion in Positano.

marie_S, Oct 2023

Luigi was a great skipper and his boat is very clean and comfortable. We had a great relaxing day while we took in the beautiful sites along the coast. I felt like we arrived like clients and left like friends. Communication was great for the planning of the trip. I would highly recommend Luigi if you are planning a boat excursion in Positano.

Wonderful way to see the Amalfi coast!

Sherry_t, Oct 2023

Sebastian was a wonderful skipper! We enjoyed the day and he knew just where to take us. The boat was beautiful as well. Perfecto!

Lovely day along the Amalfi Coast

Kimberly_W, Oct 2023

Had a great day motoring from Positano to past Amalfi. Captain pointed out key sights, answered questions, took many pictures, arranged lunch, and gave us multiple opportunities to swim. Was a fun and relaxing day, and well worth it.

Great Day in Almafi

Gregg_C, Oct 2023

Francesco was the skipper for a fantastic day! He was very informative and entertaining. Took us to some great swimming spots and dropped us off for lunch at Da’Adolfo. Excellent! We will all be recommending to anyone that asks. Again, 5 Star trip!

A beautiful day on the Southern coast of Italy

Brian_W, Sep 2023

Umberto is awesome. So much fun and picked out a fabulous lunch spot on the beach that was little and delicious. We had a great time with him. Would totally do it again.

Beautiful Scenery and Day

Sylvia_S, Sep 2023

Great day on the water. Enzo was a great captain and guide. The Amalfi Coast is a very unique experience and by boat is an added bonus. I would definitely book with this company again

Noodles are us

William_S, Sep 2023

The captain Salvatore and Sarah the deck hand of the boat encouraging us that it was safe and enjoyable to swim in the sea, and we all did so, noodles when needed.

A must do in Amalfi coast

Marcelo_D, Sep 2023

This is our highlight on our Amalfi coast trip. We definitely recommend it and will do it again. We were reached out days in advance and they kept constant communication before taking the boat. We had the opportunity to makes stops to jump into the water and have a lunch break in one of the restaurants accesible from the sea.

Had an amazing and relaxing day along the beautiful Amalfi Coast

Kevin_E, Sep 2023

We were on a 17 day trip/cruise going to France, Monaco, Spain and many areas in Italy and this 6 hour boat excursion along the Amalfi Coast with Giovanni was one of our favorite things that we did. Giovanni arrived earlier than scheduled and since we were already there we started early but still continued until our scheduled end time. There were four of us on the boat and Giovanni shared many interesting historical stories about the coast, took us where we wanted to go and supplied towels for swimming, as well as drinks (water, champagne, beer). You have not truly seen the Amalfi Coast until you’ve seen it from the water and Giovanni was sure to give us different perspectives by cruising both further from the coast and then also close up to the cliffs. I highly recommend not only doing an Amalfi Coast boat excursion but going with Giovanni on his boat.

AMALFI AMAZEMENT!!

John_D, Sep 2023

Took a small boat , driver included tour of Amalfi Coast… the boat was not even close to the one advertised in the Viator ad, but our Captain Salvatore made up for any deficiency!! He was DELUXE!! So informative, so fun!! Lunch at the Boat only restaurant between Positano and Amalfi was so special!! We loved it!!

Amazing day!!

Karan_J, Sep 2023

Francesco, picked us up right on time in amalfi at the pier. He greeted us on to the boat and was amazing from the start. He asked us what we would like to see and where we wanted to eat. He took us to the all the best swimming spots as well as great recommendations in minori for lunch. Our favorite part was being able to swim in the caves. The boat was spotless and had a bathroom. We had beer and champagne on board. He provided the Bluetooth for the boat speakers. He told us about each town as we passed by and made sure we had time for pictures where ever we went. We would highly recommend this tour when coming to the coast. This will be the best part of your trip.

If you’re thinking about it , just book it!!

Solmayra_M, Sep 2023

One of the highlights of our trip! Our skipper Salvatore was fantastic. He was so accommodating and nice. He pointed out the different towns and famous spots. Seeing the Amalfi coast via boat is a must. The boat was beautiful too. Getting a private tour is a must when traveling with a baby. ( this was our first family trip with an 8 month old). We enjoyed it. Would recommend!

Unbelievable day!

akrccj, Sep 2023

Georgio was fabulous! Great conversation and very informative. Lunch was very yummy and relaxing. Would definitely do again. Overall a great day!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
