The highlight of our trip. Our boat tour never felt rushed. We got to swim, relax and visit Amalfi. We opted to spend the 3 hours in Amalfi to explore and he recommended lunch at De Gemma and it was fantastic. One of the best meals so far! Book this tour with Blue Star. Incredible!
Carlo was the best! So informative and such a fun time! Truly smooth sailing. Will definitely be back to sail again with Carlo!
This was a wonderful small group boat tour experience. We loved every minute and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or go again. The weather was spectacular for very early September. We were taken to all the most picturesque towns right along the coastline between Positano to Amalfi, and able to get up close to the coastline that the ferries and bigger boats cannot. From the time that I booked and contacted Elisabeth she was helpful and kind and thankfully able to action my request to have the wonderful and fantastic Carlo as our boat captain. Carlos was so much fun, super friendly , considerate and a wonderful capable captain. We spent a superb day out on the water which also included a very pleasant lunch at a beach club restaurant only accessible by small boat. Thank you Blue Star Positano. I cannot sing your praises anymore than this. You guys are awesome.❤️
Carlo was an amazing guide that made the day unforgettable. We had the most amazing tour of Amalfi coast filled with laughs drinks and good memories. Highly recommend!
Fantastic boat tour. Our skipper was very attentive and let us stop to swim 3x during the tour since the entire group decided to skip the Emerald Grotto. You have the option of touring Amalfi for 3hrs, or touring Amalfi for 1hr + spending 2hrs at a private restaurant/beach area. You will be asked to sit at the restaurant area and order food before being brought down to the beach area, so certainly take that into account when you are walking around the Amalfi town area.
This was one of, if not, the best time we had while in Positano. Our Captain, Carlo, was amazing. Not only was his captain skills outstanding, but he brought people together with his wonderful and kindhearted spirit. He really played to the group. He put us in great swimming areas and took excellent care of us. Great music, he had drinks and treats, and a special group send off at the end. What started as a group of strangers ended with much laughter and big hugs at the end. A day we wished wouldn't end. Truly a magical experience. I hope you get "Our Captain Carlo", you won't be disappointed. Oh yeah...the tour was pretty amazing too.
What an amazing experience! From the ease of finding the meeting point to the drop off after making friends, this trip was the favorite of our vacation. Carlo, boat captain and host, was so charming and provided us with wonderful facts and stories throughout the boat ride. With plenty of fresh snacks and drinks it felt like we were on a friend’s boat. We had an opportunity to swim, explore Amalfi and had a wonderful lunch at a boat-in only restaurant. You will definitely want to add this to your time in Positano! Thank you Carlo!
If you are looking for an unforgettable Amalfi Coast boat tour from Positano, book with Blue Star Boat Tours and ask for Captain Carlo! This was truly one of the most amazing experiences of our entire trip to Italy. Carlo was hands down the best captain we could have asked for. His attention to detail was incredible. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend the day with. You could tell that he genuinely cared about making the experience special for every single person on board. What made Carlo exceptional was how personal he made the tour feel. He took his time explaining everything we were seeing along the Amalfi Coast and shared so many interesting details about the towns, landmarks, caves, and beautiful places we passed along the way. He also made sure everyone had beautiful memories to take home. Carlo took the time to take pictures of every couple on the boat, finding the perfect backgrounds and making sure nobody was left out. That little extra attention meant so much to us. The Amalfi Coast is breathtaking from the water, but Captain Carlo made the experience unforgettable. We never felt rushed, and the entire day felt relaxed, fun, and personal. By the end of the tour, Carlo didn't feel like just our captain — he felt like a friend. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. If you are staying in Positano and want to experience the Amalfi Coast by boat, book with Blue Star Boat Tours and ask for Captain Carlo. You will not regret it! Carlo, thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure forever. We would book with you again in a heartbeat! 🍋🇮🇹⚓️❤️
What a day! My fiancé and I had a great time. Group of 10 and everyone was so personable. Carlo was our boat captain and he did such a wonderful job! Very knowledgable on the history of the Amalfi Coast and so friendly. We had two great stops to swim and we enjoyed our time to explore Amalfi as well, highly recommend and would definitely do it again! Request Carlo as your Captain, he is second to none!
I cannot say enough, good things about Carlos and our day cruise along the Amalfi coast. Our entire family agreed, our day with Carlos was the best day of our two weeks in Italy! He is not only a very skilled boat captain but also an amazing guide to all the sites along the coastline. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat! Thank you Carlos for an amazing day :)
