Great boat ride!!

April_G, Apr 2024

So much fun!! This was a great boat ride to Amalfi. We spent a few hours in amalfi, swam in the water, and drank Prosecco! Highly recommend!

Fantastic Amalfi Coast Boat Day Trip!

AlexandraV_L, Apr 2024

What a fantastic day seeing the Amalfi Coast and walking around Amalfi. Luigi was our skipper. He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great experience. My husband left his phone in a restaurant while in Amalfi and we realized it when we were heading back to Positano. With only a picture and a landmark restaurant name to go by, Luigi made some calls and managed to find the restaurant. The phone was found and Luigi got it back to us himself later that evening during his personal time.

Do it! Fabulous!

Fabulous boat, great crew. Really enjoyed seeing amalfi coast from the water! A great experience worth every euro! Very educational, went into a cave, had 3 hours to explore amalfi town for lunch, be sure and go into amalfi church, st Andrew! Did not swim as water was cold, but had the option! Highly recommend

Absolutely worth it!

Claudi_N, Sep 2023

Absolutely worth it, we had an amazing time during the 6 hours trip (late departure due to raining conditions), our skipper Antonio managed to stick to the itinerary even when the weather conditions were tricky. Recommend!

Great experience, worth it!

Samuel_J, Sep 2023

The boat trip was amazing, one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! the skipper is very relaxed, knowledgeable and accommodating, provided generous amounts of soft drinks and alcoholic including beer and prosecco. Included snorkeling equipment and noodles during 4 swim stops. 2 hours in Amalfi was plenty of time to have a good lunch and avoid the crowds. Book this to see the amalfi coast in the best way possible!

Best honeymoon experience!!

Sarahi_M, Aug 2023

This boat ride was the most AMAZING experience with my husband for our honeymoon! There was about 12 of us and Danilo (captain) made it the most INCREDIBLE and most HILARIOUS boat tour ever!!! We went all along the coast and Danilo set us up with the most delicious lunch spot and we had a great time with the other people there. I 100/10 recommend and cannot say enough good things about all the views and Danilo who made it special for us!

A MUST DO if you're visiting the Amalfi Coast!

Kylee_T, Jul 2023

Were were in Italy for two weeks and this was the absolute best day of the entire trip. We cannot recommend this excursion enough! We got picked up by a dinghy and brought out to the actual boat that we'd be on all day- wow! There were 12 people on the trip (excluding the skipper, who was amazing!), and the boat fit us all with so much room to spare. We stopped off 3-4 times to just swim in beautiful little coves (it was unreal!) and got to have a 2.5 hour lunch break in Amalfi. I've seen some reviews on here that said that was too long, but I thought it was the perfect amount of time! We got to eat a nice relaxed lunch and had plenty of time for shopping and seeing the main area of town. Also, they take you along the whole of the Amalfi Coast- we go to see almost every town from the water and WOW was it incredible! The pictures don't do it justice at all. It was breathtaking. Along the way the skipper offered us beer, prosecco, soft drinks, water, snacks, etc.! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect boat day. If you're even slightly considering booking this- do it!

Nice day out!

Emily_B, Jul 2023

Super fun day out, really well organised, had a three hour stop in Amalfi. Swim spots were nice, no snorkeling gear tho. I didn’t see snacks either but drinks and towels were included.

Excellent and memorable tour of the Amalfi Coast!

Rolando_C, Jul 2023

The entire tour was fantastic and the skipper Danilo was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, informative, kind and made the tour wonderful for us.

Great experience if the rest of the group are cool people!

Amy_L, Jul 2023

The tour was great, Davide was an amazing driver and well educated on the area. We got to swim in the water a couple times, use snorkeling gear to see the fishes he was feeding. The reason why I didn’t give 5 stars is because the Grotto was part of the tour and we didn’t end up going in because the rest of the group didn’t want to wait in queue to go in - I was looking forward to that the most so it was unfortunate we didn’t go in. Also, was hoping for snacks since that was included in the tour but we only got drinks and the restaurant we ate at wasn’t great.

Worth taking a boat trip to see the coastline from the water.

KATHY_L, Jun 2023

We are glad that we took the boat tour to see the towns from the water. I should have read the itinerary better about the schedule. The guide was very confusing about our options for lunch. In the end we spent several hours in Amalfi and bought lunch there. Go left off the dock for a nice restaurant a little off the main beat and path. Then we took a stroll up the main uphill. The real disappointment was no snorkel equipment on the boat as was advertised. They should take off the advertisement! That was one of my main goals! He did find a mask so I could look under the water. I don't travel with a snorkel set with limited luggage.

Amazing boat day !

Lisa_C, Jun 2023

The trip was amazing. It’s a must do when visiting the Amalfi coast. Our skipper, Luigi was excellent with his storytelling along the way.

Danillo provided a great experience!

Dina_D, Jun 2023

Danillo, the Captain was on time, very professional and gave us all a great time onboard his boat. He was very knowledgeable and a very friendly person. He knows how to steer the boat in small places like some of the area he took us to get some great views and terrific swims! Seriously, if you book this tour, ask for Danillo!

Excellent skipper Davide!! Very enjoyable tour! Informative friendly & accommodating to guests. We would definitely would recommend it to others

Amazing Day with Danilo

Lorie_P, May 2023

We enjoyed boating down the coast, checking out a few caves, shopping in Amalfi (this was a bit too long) and swimming of the boat.

Perfect day!

Emily_C, May 2023

An incredible day out on the water along the beautiful Amalfi Coast! We had booked a few other tours and they either cancelled or were much more expensive. This was the perfect day & amount of time between being on the boat and stopping in Amalfi. Our skipper, Danilo, was also amazing! Would highly recommend!

Great boat cruise, so much fun!!

Jerry_H, May 2023

We had a great time with family and friends. The boat was very nice, we enjoyed being out front with the views and the wind. The driver and guide were great with the caves and information. It was a perfect way to see the coast! The Amalfi restaurant recommendation was delicious. The weather was a bit windy and the water chilly at the end of April, so we weren't able to see the Emerald Grotto or snorkel, but we have it to look forward to next time! We would highly recommend this excursion!

Great Boat Excursion

Laura_G, May 2023

Boat captain was really good and knowledgeable- stopped longer on Amalfi since water was cold and no sun was out.

Great way to see the Amalfi Coast

Lynne_K, May 2023

The trip was great and we really enjoyed it. Loved getting the 3 hours in Amalfi. Perfect amount of time. Nice small groups! Thank you

Beautiful day out on the water.

Luke_C, Apr 2023

A fantastic day on the water seeing the whole coastline. Great skipper (Danilo) and small group size made for a memorable trip.
