Great experience with Simon
We had a fantastic day out on the water with Simon. He took our family of five to a beautiful little bay with a lovely beach and rocks to explore, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Simon is an extremely professional and capable operator, and we felt completely comfortable with him throughout the day. Everything was very well organised, and he also provided snacks and drinks on board, which was a really nice touch. It was relaxed, beautiful and exactly the sort of day we were hoping for. We’d happily recommend Simon to any family looking for a great day out on the water around Positano. Five stars from us.

Avoid as staff Rude
All day tour amalfi coast beautiful could not visit Positano due to sea conditions boat was ok but the crew wee rude and very poor english language no manners at all would not recommend
Response from the operator: Sorry but we don't have your name in the list of our bookings, most probably you have done the boat tour with another company, this is happend already so is not the first time. In Positano we have many companies with name begining with Positano. We speaks all a good english according the guests coming on board every day in our boat tours and we have only one person on board our boats, the skipper. We are sorry for your bad experience but please check better and remove this review from our tripadvisor/Viator profile, thanks.

Grazie, Simon!
We were a group of six ladies and we had a wonderful time on our boat trip. The scenery was beautiful, of course, but also our captain, Simon, was so friendly. We stopped in a beautiful area to swim and we appreciated the snacks and beverages on board. Grazie, Simon!
Response from the operator: Thank you Jennifer, I had a wonderful day too. I enjoyed your company and whenever you come back contact me directly for another special day at sea.

Nothing special
Nice boat on a beautiful coast. Our captain was nice but not informative or interactive. We just drove slowly along the coast and got out to swim twice. We ended up back early so we just swam for an hour. If you want a fun interactive boat day with food this isn’t the tour for you. Lunch was picked for us and it was ok. No green grotto and minimal things to see. Just a water day.
Response from the operator: I'm agree nothigh special for persons that do not understand the beauty of a boat tour along the wonderful Amalfi coast. The Amalfi Coast boat tour is at normal speed of 6 to 7 knots, no boats are doing at fast speed this boat tour because going at slow speed you may enjoy the view of the coast having a relaxing day, but was not your case because as reported by the skipper you broke one bottle of limoncello on deck spreading glass all around and making the boat very dirty in a complete mess up. Finally In our boat tour details we have clearly written that in case of high swell for your safety and to prevent damages to the boat we skip the Emerald Grotto.

Boat day!!!
Perfect positano boat day for group of six! It was just our group, no strangers just our skipper Guiseppe. Easy to find where to board the boat at the one central port in Positano (same as where you arrive via ferry). Flexible to stop and swim at many locations, and we also got to stop at a restaurant for lunch that was only reachable by boat and got yummy pasta. Guiseppe was super chill had great hair and let us play music on our speaker and jump off the boat into the sea! If you get sea sick easy take Dramamine before hehe. Gratzie Guiseppe!
Response from the operator: Thanks and I'm glad you spend a good day with our skipper Giuseppe.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from Positano?
+
Around 5 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour of Amalfi Coast from 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, From Sorrento: Positano & Amalfi Coast Boat Tour with Pick Up, Capri and Blue Grotto Semi Private Boat Day Trip from Sorrento. 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.
