About the experience

Depart from the port of Sorrento for an extraordinary 6-hour private boat tour that will take you along the most iconic stretches of the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts. This flexible experience allows you to explore breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and hidden swimming spots, all at your own pace and with the expert guidance of a local skipper.

The journey begins with a relaxing cruise along the Sorrento Peninsula. You’ll pass natural landmarks like the Massa Lubrense waterfall, where fresh water meets the sea, and the legendary Bagni della Regina Giovanna, an ancient Roman site with a natural pool. When you reach Punta Campanella, where the gulfs of Naples and Salerno meet, you’ll cross the Amalfi Coast, where the scenery becomes increasingly spectacular.

From there, you’ll sail past the tranquil Nerano Bay and glide past enchanting spots like the Grotta dello Sogno and the serene Baia di Ieranto. As the coastline rises around you, you’ll encounter the narrow and spectacular Fiordo di Furore, before continuing on to Positano, with its colorful houses and elegant cliffside charm. Just offshore, the mysterious Li Galli islands come into view, steeped in mythology and marine beauty. Depending on your timing and preference, your final stop can take you all the way to Amalfi, where you can stop for a quick visit or simply admire the view from the water.

Whether you’re looking for scenic relaxation or lively stops, this tailor-made tour offers the best of the coast in complete freedom.

    The tour and the skipper were awesome. Domenico organized something truly special for my proposal to my girlfriend. We hired actors to perform a scene on a boat, and my fiancée was completely amazed. We sailed around the island, got a beautiful tour of the coast, and the skipper made the whole experience special with so many thoughtful details.

    We had a great day! Domenico and his team were super prompt to reply and organize everything . The boat is very comfy, clean and well maintained but not fast (but probably nice to enjoy the scenery). Can’t recommend enough to enjoy the Amalfi coast !

    It's just a shame! We are asked to pay 150€ in cash for gasoline. The next day, we took another boat trip to go to Positano (further than Capri). And we got 48€ of gasoline, the person accompanied us directly to the station, which is not the case in this rental. In addition, upstream communication is poor. I really don't recommend it! The only positive point is Lucas the skipper who was great!

    We had a fabulous day with our skipper Roberto. He met us on time and welcomed us aboard. He was very knowledgeable and an excellent, experienced skipper. He was able to navigate through several caves and through busy areas where there were a lot of other boats in the area. We cruised around Capri Island and went swimming off the boat on 3 separate occasions. We listened to music and lay in the sun looking at the coastline. We had a fantastic seafood lunch which Domenico booked for us. On the return to Positano we drank sparkling white wine. Thank you very much Roberto for looking after us today. We had a great time and we highly recommend you!

    Owner of the boat is definetly a liar. Boat is not 150 hp, on motor it is written 40 hp but not even 40 as my previous experiences. During the tour, sea get worst and motor couldn’t fight with waves. This was the worst Times of our honeymoon. Boat was same model in pictures but some seats were missing. Also cost for fuel is so high, don’t take the boat!! Captain was kind and made a Good tour for us.

    Vacationers….Be very AWARE We were super excited to see the beautiful Amalfi Coast by boat and actually had a wonderful ride from our skipper. HE WAS GREAT. ? The BIG issue was not being provided the actual cost of FUEL before you book. After many, many, many text messages from Domenico…. this being one of them….” Fuel is not included, You will be able to see the liters consumed by the indicator on the boat without problems”. This is not accurate, nor true. We were told we MUST Pay 300€ for fuel after BOOKING. No matter what we used. Anyway, bottom line is customers should be told up front the fuel cost prior to booking. Domenico finally gave us a small break on fuel. We should have just cancelled or chose a company with an upfront approach to the fuel cost. This wonderful experience was slightly ruined by not being upfront about all the costs. He also apparently upgraded the boat slightly. All in all, the purpose of my review is to be completely honest, authentic and transparent for other people to know BEFORE you book what you will be paying for FUEL. Our boat ride was amazing….the fuel cost was the very very disappointing part. One more thing…I’ve boated my entire life….we never went over 8-10 knots, never full speed….we just went slow…which is fine….we didn’t use 300€ in fuel. And no aperitifs we’re provided as promised. BE AWARE but enjoy the boat ride. The scenery is amazing.
