Fantastic trip and great value for money
Amazing boat trip to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento. The staff are amazing, sharing their knowledge of the coastline and makes us laugh, lunch and drinks on board were lovely. This is also a very family friendly trip.

Amalfi adventure
Trip was exactly as stated. Scenery was beautiful, they accommodated our allergies without any issues and we had a great time exploring the stops and swimming. We highly recommend this tour

Brilliant trip
Did the Amalfi coast tour. What I really liked is that they pick you up in their mini van at various locations in town as Marina Grande is not as accessible as the main port. It made it so easy. Soon after getting onboard we were offer an espresso brewed onboard, much appreciated as it was an early start. Hugged the shoreline and was told about the item on the coast as we passed them. First to Amalfi with 1.5 hour onshore then a simple but very tasty lunch onboard as we travelled to Positano. That was another thing I liked, meant I didn't have to find something to eat when we stopped ashore. Stopped for a swim stop and the chaps were fantastic at helping those who were a bit uneasy about getting in and out of the boat via a ladder into the sea. Beer and prosecco and limencello on the return leg. 1.5 hours in Amalfi and then same in positano was enough as they were packed, but to see them both you have to approach them from the sea in my opinion.

Highly recommend
Absolutely great tour, staff was knowledgeable, answered all our questions. Captain Tony cooked the best pasta with fresh fish we’ve ever had and we had an amazing time swimming while the food was cooking. We had enough time both in Amalfi and Positano and overall better experience than expected. Highly recommend.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 140 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch?
+
Around 49 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast Boat Tour from Sorrento: Small Group, Swim & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sorrento?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
