Wonderful day!
We had just a lovely day on the boat and our boat Captain was wonderful. I believe his name is Sebastian. My apologies if I’m wrong. Such a wonderful day out - recommend, thanks so much!
via Tripadvisor
The perfect way to see the Amalfi Coast - great photos and refreshing no matter the weather!
What a great time!! Easy to find meeting location. Nice small group. You could keep to yourself or get to know other people. We had a good group and we enjoyed getting to know them a bit. Our captain, Sebastian, was an excellent guide. Friendly and fun. He knew how to read the group and what we would want or need. Plenty of refreshing drinks and snacks. Lunch at the restaurant was very good. Had the option of eating a significant meal or just something light. I started with ice cream because it was a HOT day and then enjoyed ravioli and French fries. I order fries at every meal to make sure I’ll have something that I enjoy. Swimming in the Amalfi Coast was so nice! I’m not a big swimmer but felt completely comfortable - and pool noodles were offered, which helped. Cantaloupe was served onboard - a nice treat on a hot afternoon. The last opportunity we had to swim, I just sat on the edge and put my feet in the water. So relaxing. We sat at the bow of the boat - could sit or lay down. You can’t relax that well on the larger, more crowded boat tours. The blue grotto was pretty cool. At first I thought - it’s just a light placed underneath. Nope - all natural. Very cool. Shopping for one hour in Amalfi was just enough. Summers are getting hotter, so enjoying the Amalfi Coast by boat was a perfect thing!! Beautiful photos. What an experience!!

Loved this Boat Tour!
This tour must be added to your itinerary! We had an amazing experience seeing the Amalfi Coast from the sea. Our tour guide Sebastian was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guide! I am not sure if you can select your guide, but if you can, request Sebastian. This tour is worth the cost and if that is the only reason you are hesitating (it was for me) just do it. You will be happy you did.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved your boat tour and enjoyed discovering the Amalfi Coast from the sea. We’re especially happy to hear your kind words about Sebastian! We’ll be sure to share your compliments with him. We’re glad he helped make your experience so enjoyable with his friendly and knowledgeable approach. Thank you also for recommending the tour to other travelers. It means a lot to us to know that you felt the experience was truly worth it. We hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable adventure along the coast! - Positano Boats Team

Amazing boat day!!
This is the most fun you’ll ever have! We had the absolute best day on Sebastian’s boat. The boat is huge and we never felt cramped. We visited so many great swimming spots along the coast. The views are unreal. He is an excellent driver and we felt super safe. The prosecco and limoncello are a nice addition. I do think it should be noted the prosecco is served one time it’s not available the whole day. We grabbed drinks at the restaurant too which were not included. Totally fine just wanted to mention! If you are looking for a boat day do this one!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a fun and unforgettable day on the Amalfi Coast with Sebastian. It’s great to know you felt comfortable and safe on board and enjoyed the swimming spots, incredible views, Prosecco and limoncello. Thank you for sharing your experience so clearly! We hope to welcome you back for another amazing boat day soon! - Positano Boats Team

The perfect day!
We took this tour for our honeymoon, and had the best day with Sebastian. We had a small group of only 10 individuals on our boat, and they were all so lovely. Sebastian went above and beyond to help us have a fun day, and we would take this tour all over again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had the perfect day with us and that you chose to celebrate such a special occasion with us during your honeymoon. It’s lovely to know that you enjoyed the small-group atmosphere and had such a great time with the other guests. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Sebastian — he’ll be delighted to know that he helped make your day so memorable! Thank you again for choosing us and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to the Amalfi Coast for another unforgettable experience! - Positano Boats Team

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks cost?
+
Prices start at $176 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 Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks 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 Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 210 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks?
+
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 Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks 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 Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks?
+
Around 74 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 Positano: Amalfi Coast Small-Group Boat Tour with Swim and Drinks 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.
