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.
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 are thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing day exploring the Amalfi Coast with us and that you enjoyed the swimming stops, the time in Amalfi, and the lunch with a view. It’s great to know the atmosphere on board, the comfort, and the little touches like prosecco, fruit, and limoncello made your experience even more special. 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!

It was amazing! This is a must do boat trip! Masimo was a lovely guide and had many refreshments on the boat. And we got lucky with the other guests on the boat. We spent a lot of time swimming in the sea with floating noodles and felt very safe.

This boat tour with Captain Maximo and Sebastian (from Naples) was absolutely amazing. They timed everything so perfectly. We saw the Amalfi Coast and they were very knowledgeable about different sites to see on the coast. There were multiple swim stops built-in and somehow each one was planned for exactly when your brain started to think “dang I really wish I could get in the water”. One hour was plenty in Amalfi as it was very crowded. Overall, the boat was very comfortable and it was a great day.
