    Excursion Boat tour

    We did this boat tour two days in a row and it was excellent! The first day we went to Ischia the second day we went to Positano. Alberto is a great captain and we enjoyed both days very much. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much....

    Amalfi Coast tour

    Once we had booked airplane tickets to Italy, we started researching excursions. We decided we wanted to see the Amalfi Coast by water. We contacted a few companies. Excursion Boat Sorrento was quick to reply and answered our questions. Alberto was easy to work with via email and was a fun captain! Our group of 10 was comfortable on the Rafelli, so comfortable that we didn’t want our tour to end! At the end of the day, we were glad we saw Amalfi, Positano and Capri! We would do it again, but want to spend more time in Capri! Thanks Alberto for a day we will never forget!! Cheers!!

    Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,602 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 Tour from Sorrento to Capri and 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 Sorrento is not rushed.

    Is Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Tour from Sorrento to Capri and 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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and 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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano?

    +

    Around 2 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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and 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 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 Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano?

    +

    Included: Snack - Appetizer; Toilet on board; Towels; Skipper; and Drinks (Water, Coca Cola, Coca Zero, Lemonsoda, Beer, Limoncello, Prosecco). Not included: Surcharges on fuel. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    The meeting point is at Marina Piccola, outside Bar Ruccio. A member of our staff will be there waiting for you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    +

    Is Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Capri and Positano wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
