Perfect day out

Robert_Q, Oct 2023

My partner and I had an amazing day! We loved that our host and captain were a mother daughter duo - they were fantastic! We were so well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed this tour - well worth it!

Once in a lifetime experience

A MUST DO IN POSITANO. Nelo our guide was amazing he took care of us and was amazing overall. The experience was incredible, we swam, had a one hour stay in Amalfi, enjoyed the sun, had amazing food in a restaurant Nelo took us that was only for incoming boats. Had champagne while gazing at the amazing Positano. We were lucky that it was only 4 of us and with Nelo 5 so it was super comfortable, thank you Nelo!!❤️❤️

Amazing Amalfi Coast Experience

Edward_B, Oct 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 swims and our 2 stops along the way. Our host was very welcoming, constantly aware of everyone’s needs and always addressed them with a smile with her own personal touches. She also offered experienced narration to the local landmarks and features along our 7 hour tour of the Amalfi Coast. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience

My family and I had an amazing time and we cannot recommend this enough! Will definitely be doing this again when we are back.

Amazing experience!

Amanda_S, Sep 2023

We loved everything about this experience! Elisabetta and her daughter were absolutely wonderful. They were so friendly and never rushed the group. There were 11 of us total. They made sure we were having a good time, had plenty of snacks/drinks and were happy. We had drinks/snacks in the way to Amalfi and on the way back. Assortment of biscuits, fresh fruit, olives, meats and cheeses. Honestly, the perfect snack! The group was good about letting others take turns sitting up front and back so everyone got the most amazing pictures. Elisabetta would even make sure to capture pictures and video for you! We stopped 4 times to swim, jumping off the boat and using noodles to float around. We loved every minute of it. We stopped in Amalfi for an hour to shop, which was plenty of time. On the way back we stopped for lunch at a cute restaurant only accessible by boat. The food was amazing! Elisabetta was great at interacting with all the guests, as well as her daughter who was the captain. Extremely nice family. Overall, this was the highlight of our 11 day trip in Italy and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Amazing Day on the Coast!

Steven_B, Sep 2023

Highly recommend. Such an amazing experience! Loved our guide and all the parts of the excursion. Drinks and snacks, plus a stop on shore to see Amalfi. They also take you to a seaside restaurant that you cannot get to unless by boat.

Fun, learned lots and great meal!

Mara_W, Sep 2023

How much we laughed and shared stories was truly amazing. I learned so many things on this trip; more then I thought I would. I will be back. GRAZIE!

Highly recommend - great way to explore the coast

Andrew_S, Sep 2023

Mother daughter captain and guide were fantastic! We had such a nice day out on the water swimming and exploring nearby towns. They did a great job accommodating different requests from the group

Wonderful Tour of the Amalfi Coast

Erik_L, Sep 2023

The tour is run by a wonderful family owned business. Elizibetta our tour guide was amazing. She is a local from the area and was knowledgeable about all of the areas history. She even brought us delicious homemade snacks and lemonchello! Extremely high value for the money and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Awesome Experience

William_M, Sep 2023

We had an amazing time with Elisabetta and Tiziana! I highly recommend Crapolla charters as they did a great job with the tour, swimming, snack and drinks, etc!

Best trip

Beata_P, Sep 2023

The intire trip was a dream come true. Starting from food, sea, view and extremely nice people. The atmosphere is supper friendly. Highly recommended. Viator is the best tour operator l've ever used. Very friendly operated and reliable.

Wonderful tour

Madeline_K, Sep 2023

Book this tour! We had the best boat day on this excursion, only 6 of us total, our driver Nello was wonderful. We got to swim, snorkel and explore the coast. Provided snacks and drinks were a very nice treat. Plenty of room to spread out and relax on the boat, and absolutely incredible views. A wonderful experience to see and enjoy the amalfi coast.

Average Time for $$$

Gregory_F, Sep 2023

Unfortunately we drew Pietro as our boat captain, the son of the family business. From the start, Pietro seemed disinterested, unengaging, and there to do the bare minimum for the group. We should have brought our own speaker, our own drinks/snacks, even our own towels because Pietro seemed more interested in his phone than supporting the group. I guess the quality is in the name of their company, Crapolla Charter. So, should have known and wish we picked somewhere else.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Luisa_R, Sep 2023

We had an amazing day! We had Christian as our guide- he was great, answered all of our questions and always made sure we were having a good time. We only had 4 people total in our boat so it was totally worth it (most private tours are $400-600 so this was a great option). Unforgettable day!

Beautiful views!

Lisa_M, Sep 2023

We had a great time swimming, exploring Amalfi, dining at a restaurant on the water, and getting to know our small group! This is a perfect way to see the coast and enjoy the breath taking views. This is a small family owned business and Elizabeta is adorable.

Slightly disappointed

Michelle_M, Sep 2023

The coast was beautiful and the tour for the most part was enjoyable. Tour company messaged us that morning to say they had a problem with their bigger boat and we were getting a private tour. We thought great. Boat was very small, no toilet, no snacks, just drinks. Water was rough on the way back making the boat ride rough as well. It was not the experience we were expecting from the description.

Boat excursion

Tom_U, Sep 2023

Datiana and Pieteo (probably spelled wrong) we’re extremely hospitable and accommodating. We stopped to swim multiple times which was fantastic and enjoyed the town of Amalfi and a lunch overlooking the water. Be aware that the dock at 9am is extremely crowded and a bit chaotic trying to find your boat but it seems to work out.

Highly Recommend!

Phil_B, Sep 2023

A fantastic experience we would highly recommend! The tour exceeded even our expectations with a truly memorable time made possible by the wonderful staff - if you are considering a boat tour in positano this is the one!

A must if visiting Positano!

Carol_A, Sep 2023

The groups we were paired with were SO friendly!! Our capitan and guide were warm, welcoming and made sure we not only had a great time but also were able to see everything! Our guide even made homemade bread for us, among other great snacks! Also, be sure to spend plenty of time in St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Amalfi!
