Lovely day with some bad points
We had a lovely day in Amalfi Coast with Bruno and Dario, who were really nice and made the experience even better. The boat was great and confortable, and the tour and the swim stops were really beautiful. Despite that, at the meeting point, when you have to pay part of the Boat Trip, the people who work for the company made us pay a tax of 4% for paying in credit card, but we paid in debit card, and the woman didn't tell us at the time and we just realized later... And besides that, they said that a sandwich and appetizers would be served, but there wasn't any food on board.

Poor customer service
Sadly I am leaving a one star review due to poor customer service. I have sent a few emails with the company and am now being ignored. A service that was supposed to be included was not provided and no solution has been given.

Nice trip
Nice experience, nice tour and amazing time. Would pay more attention to cleaning of premises and also suggest not to smoke on the board

This is a delightful...
This is a delightful tour. We got to see the Amalfi coast from the water.. a definite advantage given the extreme heat. Our guide, Giuseppe was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We learned a lot about the Mediterranean, the grottos and land features and the culture of the area. We had a good opportunity to visit Amalfi and Positano to eat, sightsee, and shop then topped off the day with a chance to swim in a peaceful cove. It was a totally enjoyable full day excursion.

Beware of surcharges
Travellers need to know that they will face a hefty surcharge for fuel on the boat as they arrive for the tour. This is 100% the fault of Viator, who advertise the price of the trip without this extra 50 Euro per person built in - it is covered in the small print of ‘inclusions and exclusions.’ This is scandalous mis-selling by Viator and we will expect to be refunded 100 Euros for me and my partner.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano cost?
+
Prices start at $117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Positano 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 Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Positano is not rushed.
Is Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 219 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano?
+
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 Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano?
+
Around 77 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 Positano 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 Positano and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour from Sorrento or Positano 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 Positano 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 Positano?
+
On Outty we rank every Positano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class with Pasta, mozzarella and Tiramisu with wine, Capri and Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento, From Sorrento: Positano & Amalfi Coast Boat Tour with Pick Up. 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 Positano?
+
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 Positano?
+
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.
