Unsatisfied
The boat was for 12 travelers but didn’t have 12 comfortable seats for the passengers. The boat was designed for 8 passengers in order to be comfortable.. they only had 2 bottles of prosecco for 12 people. The boat was uncleanly and first mate didn’t keep with garbage. We weren’t offered water had to ask for it. I would not recommend.

Great experience! There...
Great experience! There is no better way to see the beauty of the coastline than by boat. With a small group of up to 12 and a really friendly team on the boat, it was a great day out all around.

Expected more for the money
By and large satisfactory. For a tour in this price range, I would have expected a higher-quality boat. On the trip from Sorrento to Amalfi, everything was still okay. On the trip from Amalfi to Positano, water splashed and sloshed into the boat from all sides, so that you had to start your stay in Positano soaked to the bone, which was quite unpleasant! According to the skipper, this was due to the wind. In my opinion, the boat was not designed for the sea conditions and the speed. For approx.. €340.00 for two people should include more.
The two skippers, however, were nice and friendly and did not skimp on information about the individual places that were passed.
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for providing such detailed feedback.
We are pleased to hear that, overall, you found the tour satisfactory and that you appreciated the friendliness and professionalism of our skippers, as well as the information they provided throughout the cruise.
We are sincerely sorry for the discomfort you experienced during the journey between Amalfi and Positano. Unfortunately, on certain days, wind and sea conditions can significantly affect the comfort of navigation, even when safety conditions allow the excursion to operate as scheduled. We fully understand, however, that arriving at your destination completely soaked may have negatively impacted your enjoyment of the experience.
Your comments regarding the boat and the balance between the tour price and the level of comfort expected are very important to us. We will certainly take your observations into consideration as part of our ongoing commitment to improving the quality of the services we provide to our guests.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with an even more enjoyable experience.
Kind regards,
Avi Travel

It was excellent and the...
It was excellent and the guys William and Marco were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. It was the best way to see the coast and the two towns quickly and get a bit of a tan on the way. Just enough time in Positano and Amalfi to experience the towns and enough time to swim and cool down.

Amazing day!
What an amazing day!! Myself, my husband, & our six-year-old daughter had the most amazing day! The Captain & his helper of the Vittoriano were friendly, knowledgeable, & made the day even better. Stopping twice to jump off the boat and swim in the middle of the sea was the highlight! They had pool floats for our daughter, which was much appreciated! Positano and Amalfi were stunning & we had ample time in each location. Would highly recommend!

Great day out
We had a great tour guide and captain. Both were very attentive and made sure we all were given loads of information on our tour and lots of music.
Positano is beautiful as is the Amalfi Coast.

Last minute amazement!
Although originally slated to start at 8 AM, we received notification that due to a driver shortage they ended up leaving at 10 we still got the full amount of time and on the way from Sorrento to Amalfi we stopped to swim for a little bit at dolphin Island. We had about an hour and a half at Amalfi then reported came back to Positano and had an hour and a half there and re-boarded. Then we swam for about 35 minutes in the gulf. Francesca was our tour guide and she was absolutely incredible. Very personable, knowledgeable, kind and willing to answer all questions. It was a last-minute booking for us and still incredible. I highly recommend this.!!!!!
