We took this tour for our honeymoon, and had the best day with Sebastian. We had a small group of only 10 individuals on our boat, and they were all so lovely. Sebastian went above and beyond to help us have a fun day, and we would take this tour all over again.
Wow! This was the most amazing day!! Thank you to Michal for such a wonderful experience. It was an unforgettable one and I’m so grateful. I would 100P recommend this to anyone who visits positano.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to hear that your day with us was such a memorable experience. We will be sure to share your kind words with our captain, who will be thrilled to know he helped make your visit so special. Thank you for your recommendation. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again the next time you're in Amalfi Coast for another unforgettable experience! - Positano Boats Team
Such a great experience! The views of the Amalfi Coast from the boat were unreal, and stopping to swim in the crystal-clear water was definitely a highlight. The drinks were a nice bonus, and the small group made it feel relaxed instead of crowded. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was phenomenal! delicious food with an incredible view. It ended up being one of the best meals of our trip. The Captian was awesome—friendly, fun, and made sure everyone had a great time. The other people on the tour were so much fun- which made the whole experience even better. If you’re in Positano or any town on the Amalfi Coast, don’t skip this tour. We’d definitely do it again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the breathtaking views, the swimming stops, and the relaxed atmosphere on board. We're also happy that the restaurant was one of the highlights of your trip! We'll be sure to share your kind words with our captain. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the Amalfi Coast! - Positano Boats Team
We came for the Amalfi Coast views, but we’d book this tour again just for Captain Sebastian. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, but Sebastian was the real luxury upgrade. Part captain, part local encyclopedia, he had the perfect story for every cove, cliff, and village we passed. Somehow he managed to make the history just as entertaining as the scenery—which is saying something on the Amalfi Coast. The day was the perfect mix of swimming, sightseeing, relaxing, and laughing. Our only complaint? The tour ended. If you’re on the fence, hop off it and onto this boat. Just make sure Captain Sebastian is holding the wheel.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience with us. It means a lot to know that you enjoyed not only the beauty of the Amalfi Coast but also Captain Sebastian's company. He is passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden gems of our coastline, and your kind words will mean the world to him. We're also glad you appreciated the comfort of the boat and the balance of swimming, sightseeing, and relaxation throughout the day. Your comment that your only complaint was that the tour ended made us smile! Thank you once again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable day along the Amalfi Coast. - Positano Boats Team
Do it!!! It is so worth it! The boat tour was amazing. Capitan Sebastian was great and he got us where we needed to go, made sure we got enough drinks and snacks, and took our photos when we asked. We got to swim quite a bit and got some amazing views. We got to the Blue Grotto on a Monday morning and there were zero people in line, so we decided to go - it was neat, but if there is a line of people, it's probably not worth it. One hour in Amalfi was about all you need there - it's very touristy and we already had been there for a few hours the day before. The restaurant we went to, La Gavitella, was really cool. The food was great, but not incredible, but the view and the fact that it's got a private beach we could take a swim at made it pretty great. Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend booking the boat tour. We would love to go again!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an amazing day on board with Captain Sebastian. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the swimming stops, the breathtaking views, and the personalized service throughout the tour. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Sebastian—he'll be delighted to hear them! Thank you for recommending our experience. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we truly hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the Amalfi Coast! - Positano Boats Team
What a beautiful way to explore the Amalfi coast from Positano to Amalfi. It’s a good 7 hours so be prepared to be out a while! Our captain, Michel, was great. He stopped three times for us to swim, took us to the Emerald Grotto, and we got off twice - once in Amalfi and once in Priore where he had reserved tables for our small group at a famous restaurant. Highly recommend this small group tour. There were only 6 of us, it was very comfortable and drinks and snacks were provided.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the Amalfi Coast with us and that our captain helped make your day so special. We’re glad you enjoyed the swimming stops, the visit to the Emerald Grotto, and the time in Amalfi and Praiano. Thank you for recommending our small-group tour, and we hope to welcome you on board again soon! - Positano Boats Team
What an amazing day with Positano boats! We did the full day Amalfi tour from Positano. Check in was easy to find and went smoothly. There were 12 people on the boat and it was perfect. Never felt crowded, and there was room for everyone. We got to sit at the front of the boat and it was an amazing experience! We stopped multiple times to swim (they were quick stops so you don’t have to swim if you don’t want). They provide pool noodles and towels as well. We stopped in Amalfi for an hour to walk around, which was cool to see the town. Then we stopped for more swimming and lunch with an amazing view! Our captain was great and provided some prosecco, fruit, and limoncello! Plenty of photo ops and just beautiful scenery! 10/10 recommend this tour and we can’t wait to come back and do it again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you on board again for another unforgettable day! - Positano Boats Team
We had the absolute best time on this boat tour!! I’ve recommended it to everyone I know who’s thinking about coming to Positano. Our captain Sebastian was fairly new, only a few weeks into his role, and we are so grateful that we were able to experience this with him. His young and fun energy made us love every second of our trip! We would have never known he was just starting as he was very knowledgeable and made us feel so safe that we didn’t have any worries. I’d definitely recommend requesting him, if possible. The tour was beautiful as we got to see Positano from the water, Praiano, explore Amalfi (+more like the emerald grotto), and swim in different places along the way. We were very lucky that there were only 6 of us on board that day, so it was an unexpected intimate setting that made us all bond and laugh for the whole day. The price was well worth the entire experience! Especially since it lasted the whole day. I can’t say enough good things, but absolutely book this tour!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring the Amalfi Coast with us and that you enjoyed the stops, swimming, and the atmosphere on board. We will also be sure to pass your kind words on to Sebastian—he will be very happy to know he made your day so special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board again soon! - Positano Boats Team
Beautiful way to see the coast and beat the heat! We really enjoyed swimming and learning about the coastline. Our guide, Massimo was great! He had a fun Italian playlist, shared so much about the area and was so attentive- Making sure that we had drinks, snacks and fresh towels after swimming.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear the tour was a highlight of your Amalfi Coast trip and that you enjoyed the swimming, music, and stories about the coastline. A special thank you for your kind words about Massimo—we'll be sure to share them with him. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! - Positano Boats Team
