5 stars - Absolutely fantastic tour, one I would highly recommend. Our guides were Sebastiano and Pasquale who were great. Sebastiano was a great skipper and Pasquale was extremely entertaining as well as knowledgeable. He made the tour a real highlight. Furthermore after experiencing Amalfi and Positano, the thought of visiting these sites via a hot bus is truly terrifying. Truly the best and only viable way to see these towns from Sorrento. Would very much recommend.

Not to be missed! - We had such a wonderful time on this boat tour. Positano and Amalfi were both very busy and crowded, especially for June, but our favorite part was the boat ride itself. Don’t miss the church and crypt in Amalfi - it is amazing! This is a family run business and it shows in the level of hospitality and knowledge of the area. Thank you for making such great memories for our family!

Good fun for all! - It was great being on a boat seeing the coastline from that perspective. The tour guides were so lovely and informative. Positano and Amalfi were beautiful but very crowded. And at the end we played in the sea! Great way to end the afternoon!

A must do on the Amalfi Coast!!! - Ericho and Alessandro were amazing hosts! Alessandro was very knowledgeable of the coast and made sure to make sure everyone had refreshments throughout the trip. The swim stop was our absolute favorite and the stops in Amalfi and Positano were the perfect amount of time.

Cruising down the Amalfi coast! - A fantastic way to explore the Amalfi coast! Our tour guide and boat operator were both pros and fun to explore the coast with! Plus the music they played (a mix of Italian and American) was fun too. The water was a little bumpy on the day we went out, but they still found us a great place to get out and swim. We definitely recommend this tour!!

Average cruise, beverages only in last hour - We did do the Amalfi and the Capri boat cruises through this charter company. It looks like the contract out to local captains with multiple boats going out a day. They were accommodating to get our whole group on the same boat even though we booked separately. Captains were fun and cruise is beautiful. However, both cruises did not match the itinerary posted. We didn’t get offered drinks until the last hour of the cruise. The description made it sound like beverages the whole time. I expected more for the price. We only got offered to swim at one spot versus two. I thought it was average.
