Great trip, lots of great stops along the way. Sara was a great host providing us with drinks etc
A lot of hidden fees. It would have been better to have one full and final price.
The boat tour to positano and amalfi was incredible! Both Captain Bruno and Dario were fantastic. Drinks were provided on board and the stops at Positano and Amalfi were incredible, as well as the two opportunities to swim! We would highly recommend and I hope to use sorrentoseatours next time we are in Sorrento!
Marchello was a great host, very informative and explained the different sites he took us to. It was a great experience
We loved Dario and the captain are very personable. Jumping in the water was wonderful. We went to a small restaurant on the Amalfi Coast, then onto Positano and Amalfi. Honestly, going to both places in the summer is not fun. Way too crowded! I would recommend 1/2 hour at each place, and more time stopping and swimming. One place that was amazing and I wish we had stopped to swim was this tiny beach that was hidden and we had to go under the bridge to see the most beautiful buildings and beach. We had the best day out on the water and would absolutely recommend this trip to anybody wanting to go out on the water from Sorrento to see the Amalfi Coast.
Very enjoyable way to see the Amalfi coast! We swam twice in protected coves. It was a great way to cool off from the sun. We had time to Shop and eat in Positano and the same in Amalfi. It was a very enjoyable speedboat ride there & back! Bruno the boat captain & grabo?? were very attentive & offered us drinks numerous times on the boat. They also gave you a sandwich for lunch It was one of the best times I’ve ever had! Note: If you tend to get seasick, you may want to bring some Dramamine or take it before you go in case the water is rough
We booked the full day tour to Positano and Amalfi and could not have been more pleased. It was an excellent day. Our guide Dario and captain Bruno took care of everything. The boat was comfortable, the swim spots they selected were beautiful, and the time in each town worked out well. I would do again if coming back to this area and would recommend to anyone traveling to Sorrento. I think it was an ideal way to see the Amalfi coast.
Dear H8541XUrachelf, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, hope we can host you again in the future.
This experience was an amazing way to spend a day in Italy and get to see so much of the beautiful coast. Our captain was kind and made it a great experience with his knowledge and great vibes. We were with 9 other people but it is a spacious boat. It should be noted that that at check in, they require a 10€ per person fee that is only accepted in cash. The other 20€ fee per person can be paid by card or cash. Overall I do recommend this experience!
Dear Savanah_B, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your day on the coast and that our captain helped make it such a memorable experience. We also appreciate your note regarding the additional fees. Just to clarify, all pricing details and any extra charges are clearly listed in the booking confirmation, so guests can review them before the tour. We hope to welcome you on board again soon!
Great views and comfortable boat. Not a lot of shade so bring sunscreen. The stop in Positano was only an hour long. It took 15 minutes just to dock. It was very busy.
Dear Tyler_W, We truly appreciate your review! It's great to know you had a lovely day with us.
Blue clear water, stunning scenery, snorkeling, & sightseeing fun day riding in a boat listening to music. See the coast by boat, and end the day w a Limoncello toast!
Dear golferlaura, Thanks a lot for sharing your positive experience. We're really glad everything went well!
