Francisco and Roman are the best!
My husband and I were so excited for this boat tour, and they delivered! Francisco and Roman showed us all the beautiful caves and sights around Capri island. A storm came out of nowhere, and Francisco and Roman were absolute pros at finding a safe cove to bring us into. While waiting for the storm to pass, my husband and I were swimming in a gorgeous cove. This crew could not have been better at showing us around, thinking on their feet, and giving us an excellent evening.
Response from the operator: Dear Evelyn K, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! We are so glad to hear that you and your husband had such a memorable evening exploring Capri with us. Safety is always our top priority, and we couldn’t be prouder of Francisco and Roman for their quick thinking and professionalism during the sudden storm. Turning an unexpected weather shift into a memorable swim in a gorgeous, secluded cove is what great seamanship is all about! We will be sure to pass along your high praise to both Francisco and Roman—they will be thrilled to hear your words. We hope to welcome you back on board for smoother sailing next time! Warmest regards, The Sorrento Luxury Team

Amazing Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast
We recently booked a private boat tour with Sorrento Luxury Charters and it was one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. We sailed along the stunning Amalfi Coast with a stop in beautiful Positano, and everything about the day was perfect. Our captain, Antonio, was outstanding. He was a great skipper and an even better host. He clearly knows every inch of the coastline and pointed out so many interesting sites, villas, and hidden gems along the way that we would have completely missed otherwise. He was incredibly accommodating to all of our requests and even found us the most picturesque swim spot in a gorgeous little cove with crystal-clear water. The boat itself, an AV35, was spotless and luxurious, and the Prosecco was flowing the whole time! The attention to detail and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere made us feel like VIPs from start to finish. If you’re thinking about chartering a boat on the Amalfi Coast, l highly recommend Sorrento Luxury Charters and specifically Captain Antonio. This was easily one of the best experiences we had in Italy! Thank you again, Antonio, Fabio and the team!
Response from the operator: Dear Jason M, Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your private tour with us was one of the absolute highlights of your trip to Italy. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the luxury and comfort of our AV35, along with the flowing Prosecco! We take great pride in maintaining our fleet to the highest standards, so hearing that it felt spotless and luxurious means a lot to us. Captain Antonio will be incredibly proud to read your compliments. He truly loves sharing the hidden gems and secret coves of our coastline, and we are so glad he made you feel like VIPs throughout the day. Fabio and the entire team also send their warmest thanks for recognizing their efforts in planning your perfect day. Thank you for your highly appreciated recommendation. We truly hope to welcome you on board again for another unforgettable experience on your next Italian holiday! Warmest regards, The Sorrento Luxury Team

Amalfi Coast Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Amalfi Coast Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi! cost?
+
Prices start at $2,232 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 Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi! take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 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 Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi!?
+
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 Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi!?
+
Around 6 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast Private Yacht Cruise: Explore Positano and Amalfi! 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.
