A Great Day!
It was a wonderful experience all around. Our captain, Orlando, was charming, gracious and knowledgeable. We saw all of the Amalfi coast, stopped for lunch in the town of Amalfi and had a chance to swim. It was probably our favorite day of our entire vacation.

Amazing experience for me and my brothet.

Carpri is overrated
Staff and boat excellent. Just not enough time at Positano (45 minutes) and Capri. You have to eat lunch or pay 100euros tax. After eating lunch there is no time to see town or shop. Very disappointing. The Blue Grotto is a joke. Boats line up for a drive by. Not worth it at all. I recommend a boat trip to 1 place. Otherwise there is just not enough time on shore. Capri just wasn’t worth it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our boat and crew, although we’re sorry the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Combining two destinations such as the Amalfi Coast and Capri in one day can naturally make the schedule feel a little tight, especially as the ideal amount of time at each stop also depends on what each guest would like to do , whether it’s sightseeing, shopping, having lunch, or simply enjoying the scenery. Capri can also become extremely crowded during high season, which can make it more difficult to explore the island comfortably within the time available. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for a more relaxed experience.

Great time
Just took the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi, and Positano tour today with my wife. The pickup was seemless, as was the check in. The captain and the 1st mate, Maria were great. Whether it was stopping for swimming, or pick up and drop off in port, they handled their duties both superbly. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your wife had such a great time exploring the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi, and Positano with us. It’s fantastic to know that everything went smoothly, from the pickup and check-in to the swimming stops and port transfers. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the captain and Maria — they’ll be very happy to hear them! Thank you for recommending us. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience along the Amalfi Coast!

Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi cost?
+
Prices start at $1,259 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 Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi 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 Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 51 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 Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi?
+
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 Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi 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 Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi?
+
Around 18 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat Excursion: Amalfi Coast, Positano & Amalfi 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.
