Exceeded our Expectations!
A top tier experience! 1) Easy booking: Simon was responsive, clear and efficient 2) Skilled Captain: Guiseppe was so attentive, fun, flexible and willing to give us options-and incredibly skilled at getting us close to coves, Faraglioni rocks, etc and 3) Simple Pick up/Drop off: Met us by the Ferry Pier-right on time and easy to find. 4) Competitive pricing-I think we got everything we wanted for less than most other companies were charging. Included snacks, prosecco/beer, soft drinks, etc. We especially appreciated that Guiseppe recommended a great restaurant on the shores of Nerano-an unplanned but most memorable part of our day. Highly recommend Positano Boat Tours

Full day boat tour to capri from positano
If you’re looking for a private boat tour to capri from positano, this is the one. Before hand, Simon was very responsive to direct questions I had from WhatsApp text. Boarding the boat was quick and easy. Perfect size boat for comfort for a couple or a small group. If you’re looking to go along the coast and around capri island and sightsee caves etc, this boat tour will be great. We went around capri island and then were able to get off boat to explore capri for 3 hours. Had lunch and took the train up the hill to the shopping center to walk around and get a gelato. Took a nice slow ride back to positano to complete trip. Prosecco, beer, water, soda, snacks, bathroom and towels were all made readily available for us. What the tour description says is what you get. Fuel was included which is a huge plus from the research I did before booking. Can’t beat the price compared to other full day boat tours.

What a great choice!
We booked a day cruise along the Amalfi coast with Captain Simon. Stopped at several places along the coast and Simon was flexible and made sure we got to see and do what we wanted. Took us to lunch at a restaurant which had great food at reasonable prices. Would strongly recommend Simon and the trip for anyone who wants to get a great tour of the Amalfi coast.

Full Day Private Boat Tour to Capri 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 to Capri from Positano cost?
+
Prices start at $1,567 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 to Capri from 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour to Capri from Positano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 69 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 to Capri 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 to Capri from 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour to Capri from Positano?
+
Around 24 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 Full Day Private Boat Tour to Capri 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.

+
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, Amalfi : Prepare fresh pasta, mozzarella and tiramisu with wine, Ravioli & Tagliatelle Cooking Class at a Local's Home 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.
