Highlight of the Trip

We had a fantastic time with Francesco cruising the Amalfi Coast and making wonderful memories for the family in what I anticipate will be the highlight of the trip. Francesco is a seasoned captain with a deep knowledge of the history and points of interest along the way. He was also very attentive providing drinks and snacks throughout. We swam in caves, under waterfalls, and even did some cliff diving (a favorite experience for my 15yo son). Flora (booking contact) made lunch reservations for us at La Gavitella which had breathtaking views, fresh seafood, and wonderful drink options. We extended the tour to 8 hours and, while we were exhausted by the end of the day (all the swimming and sun), we felt it allowed us to see so much at a relaxed pace. We would most certainly book this experience again and recommend the private boat tour for any family. Grazie mille Francesco!

The Amalfi Coast by boat

We wanted to experience the Amalfi coast from the water. We took a 40 foot long speedboat. Our skipper Francisco was very friendly and pleasant. Francisco took us along the whole coast from beginning to end explaining to us all the major landmarks. It was really a pleasant day. The boat was very clean and in a new condition. We stopped by a couple of caves and snorkeled along the way. We stopped by a restaurant that Francisco recommended for lunch and the food was exceptionally fresh seafood. The 6 hours we had the boat for was just the right time needed to spend the day offshore. We spent four days in the coast and truly this was the most exciting and highlight of our trip.
