You truly haven’t lived until you take this private boat tour - Booking this excursion was the best decision I have ever made!! I booked this private boat tour around the Amalfi coast for my 25th birthday, and it will be impossible to top this experience. Our captain, Luigi, was very knowledgeable about the area, and let us stop at all the coolest places along the coast. I got to snorkel through a cave and swim for as long as I pleased. The scenery of the Amalfi coast is unmatched and so amazing to experience from a boat(the boat itself was sooo nice!!!) I would recommend that everyone experiences this at least once in their life, and I am definitely planning my trip back and this experience is #1 on my to-do list!!

Awesome experience on the Amalfi Coast - What an awesome experience travelling along the Amalfi coast with Salvatore and Lucia. The views were unbelievable, the service excellent and the whole day was a pure delight. One of the best water experiences we have had. We would absolutely recommend exclusive cruises to anyone who wants a lifetime memory of the Amalfi coast.

The ultimate Amalfi Coast day excursion - We had a wonderful private boat tour with Giacomo aboard his 37’ cruising boat. While there is significant activity at the Positano boat dock with ferries and multiple charter vessels coming and going at the same time, we were able to easily and safely embark with Giacomo thanks to his timeliness and clear communication. Flora reached out via WhatsApp the day prior to confirm our trip departure location and time, and Giacomo contacted us the morning of the trip with a photo of the vessel so we knew what to look for. The boat was beautiful, clean and well-appointed for our group of six with plenty of comfortable seating and shade. There was a full cabin and full-sized head, though we used neither because the weather was so gorgeous. Giacomo supplied us with a cooler of various beverages, along with rosé and prosecco and provided snacks. He gave us a leisurely tour around the Amalfi coast from Positano, explaining various locations and pointing out notable properties. We swam in a grotto and then he took us to a small, local beachside restaurant for lunch. He helped us get on and off the water taxi and ensured that we had a table waiting for us. My son wanted to swim again after lunch, so Giacomo took us to a private location near Ravello where there were no other guests. We stopped by the secluded beach in Positano for one more swim before arriving back to the dock. This is an indulgent excursion but it’s absolutely the best way to see the Amalfi coast and learn about where you want to plan your next stay. Thank you Giacomo and Flora!

An Absolute Must! - We honestly could not have had a better experience! Valeria and Flora assisted us with the check in process and were so kind and thorough; assisting us with location and answering any questions we had. Umberto our skipper was fantastic and really made our day memorable. We had time to explore, swim and relax. He pointed out interesting facts along the way and was very kind to us taking our picture and helping us with anything we needed. I also noticed previous reviews concerning the lunch spot and wanted to note that this was not at all the case for us. We had such a great experience stopping for lunch and had an amazing meal. I could not recommend this experience more. I do not have one single complaint. It was truly magical!

Amazing experience and a highlight of our trip! - Most definitely a highlight of our two week trip to Italy! We had an amazing day on a beautiful 38/40 foot boat exploring the Amalfi coast. Valeria was super responsive and communicative. She made sure we knew exactly where to go on the busy pier and how to recognize our skipper. We actually had booked a smaller boat since there were only 3 of us. We were scheduled for Monday, but Valeria reached out on Saturday and let us know there had been a cancellation for Sunday and if we were flexible that she would upgrade us to the larger boat. This happened to be Father’s Day so it was perfect! The boat was gorgeous and had a large sundeck for lounging - which is where we spent most of our time. There was also a cabin with a bathroom and kitchen area. Everything was super clean. Our skipper was Francesco and he was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed - Prosecco, charcuterie, waters, sodas! He pointed out all the interesting things as we hugged the Amalfi Coast for the day. We went to a great lunch restaurant only accessible by boat (that Jackie O used to frequent). Francesco made sure to take us to several lovely swimming spots, a massive cave, to see some natural arches of stone, and to a beautiful waterfall. We didn’t want the day to end! I cannot recommend enough. It’s an expensive excursion but worth every single penny! Thank you for a fantastic experience and memory!!
PS - loved the back of Francesco’s uniform shirt that said “the best things in life are not things at all. They are experiences.” So well said.

Amazing Amalfi coast private boat tour - Thank you Francesco for a wonderful tour, beyond expectations. The boat was just the perfect size to relax, sun bathe or stay in the shade. Cruising along the Amalfi coast, admiring the beautiful scenery while drinking Prosecco and enjoying a couple of swims made for the perfect day.
