    Great trip to Amalfi & Positano

    We had an amazing trip with Alessandro from Sorrento to Amalfi Coast (Amalfi and Positano). Everything was first rate. The real high point was Alessandro. Not only is he a great captain and very enthusiastic, but he took care of all of our needs during the course of the day and ensured we had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend this trip and especially request Alessandro!

    Perfect day out

    Thank you Francesca and Dario for a brilliant day! We were met at the port in Sorrento and departed on time with a great group of people. Francesca pointed out lots of things to see along the way. We had just over an hour in Amalfi and Positano, two perfect swimming stops and a great meal at Il Cartuccio in Nerano. We also went into a cave and looked at the bright blue water and fish. The boat itself had plenty of space for the group size, and it was fun to play music on the way back to Sorrento! All in all a perfect day out. Thank you!

    Fernando and Andrea and MBS for the W!

    We had an amazing time with MBS Blue Charter. The boat was safe and well equipped and our crew was awesome. Fernando the guide and Andrea the pilot were legit. They were both very serviceable and friendly, and Fernando does a great job at keeping you entertained with his great personality and great insights to local history and culture. Sincerely, good dudes. Free drinks of all sorts, and fresh fruit. We left Sorrento at 9, and cruised past Capri and some other small islands and then stopped off at Almafi for an hour and a half. We then cruised over to Positano, where we had an hour and a half. Beautiful coastline. Fun stops. Almafi has a lot more as far as shops and restaurants. Positano is a little less busy. We didn’t have time to do much other than wander around downtown and walk up just a little bit. Be sure to visit “Panza” on Almafi. They have an amazing display of freshly baked goods! Lemon sorbet in a Holla out lemon is a must. They’re everywhere. After Positano, we cruised over to a quieter Cove and more secluded beach and we stopped there for an hour and they let us swim around. That was the highlight. The water is this amazing turquoise and is super clear and refreshing. We would easily book with these guys again! Don’t miss!

    From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.

    How much does From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,373 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 From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour 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 Positano is not rushed.

    Is From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour?

    +

    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 From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour 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 From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour?

    +

    Around 8 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Sorrento or Positano: Amalfi Coast Private Boat VIP Tour 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?

    +

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.
