Big disappointment and no value
I write this comment to save the money of other travelers and prevent them from having a big disappointment by booking this trip. Please note that the boat advertised for 12 people maximum is actually a boat with 8 places, with no shadow. So if you are the luck one you will seat where you find - stairs, floors. Plus they will ask you to take your shoes off and distribute a sandwich which you cannot eat in the boat… On the top, they will splash in the water so that you get all wet, for fun….Paying 150 euros + comes with absolute no value than your red back and no care of the staff.
Response from the operator: Hi, we are sorry for that but you have confuse company, you are not on our boat. Check the correct company on tripadvisor.

Nino, our Captain and...
Nino, our Captain and Francesca were fun and passionate about the work they do. Made the trip enjoyable as we learned a bit about the coast, plunged into the Mediterranean for a dip, and had wholesome Italian snacks. Far better day trip via water to Positano and Amalfi than driving… in my humble opinion, but we are water people.
Response from the operator: Thank you.....we Hope to see you again..

10/10!
We had an amazing boat tour with our guide Alberto! He provided us with snacks, drinks, and showed us all of the best sights. We went at the end of April and had great weather. It was the most memorable part of our trip. Would definitely recommend booking with Excursion Boat Sorrento!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much. We hope to see you again....

Don’t bother and use MBS instead
We did not get what we paid for. We were promised swim stops, stopping in Amalfi first for an hour and then Positano for 2 hours. Along the way the ride was bumpy causing my partner to have severe back issues. We were then told we were stopping in Positano first and only for an hour. We did mention this wasn’t good enough as we got off the boat but the response pretty much was “tough luck”. We decided we hadn’t had enough time (and the time we were allocated when booking the trip) and therefore, wanted to stay in Positano. The point is - we did not get what we paid for as an hour in Positano (which is where we wanted to visit most) was not what was advertised upon booking the trip with the company. Also, the tour guide ended up threatening us. Not a good experience… and on an anniversary.

The tour guide also threatened us after we said we had enough, saying he would take us to the police. This all happened on our anniversary aswell and Positano is very special to us.

Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $171 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 Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 47 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 Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento?
+
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 Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento 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 Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento?
+
Around 16 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento 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.
What is included in Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento?
+
Included: Snack; Snorkeling masks; Drinks (Water, Coca Cola, Coca Zero, Lemonsoda, Beer); Skipper; and Life Jacket for each person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento?
+
The meeting point is at Marina Piccola, by the entrance of Bar Ruccio. One of our staff members will be there to greet you and assist before departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Full-Day Shared Boat Tour to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento offered in?
+
