What you'll see and do
Bagni Regina Giovanna
A mythical area of the Sorrentine coastline where legend says that Queen Giovanna met her lovers at the end of the 14th century. It is very picturesque and you can swim in between rocks to get to an open area with crystalline water and lush vegetation (it is usually a shady area without direct sunlight).
Pass by without stopping
A natural waterfall flowing from the mountains into the sea. The captain can usually navigate the bow of the boat under the falls if you would like a cool shower! La Marina di Puolo: A teeny tiny fishing village with a beach and some restaurants, small fishermen's houses, and beautiful views.
Pass by without stopping
Cala di Mitigliano
Cala di Mitigliano is a wide and pleasant bay with a crystalline sea; the fantastic view of Capri and Punta Campanella makes this a place of enchanting beauty. On the right side, you can see an ancient circular tower, used in the past for the production of lime.
Pass by without stopping
Punta Campanella
The point where the Sorrentine Peninsula merges into the Amalfi Coast. It is a nature reserve with breathtaking views and a 14th century tower which served as a lookout. The tower had a bell that was rung to warn of pirate invasions. This is probably how Punta Campanella (Bell Point) got its name.

Here you will have the opportunity to stop for a seaside lunch at one of the small, family operated restaurants that dot the beach.This is a village that you would not normally have the opportunity to see unless from a private boat.
Pass by without stopping

Tordigliano's wonderful beach is one of the few wild and natural spots on the Amalfi coast perfect for swimming. The beach is a particularly popular destination for summertime camping and stargazing.

Five star experience!!
Highly recommend this to everyone!! It was honestly the highlight of our entire two week Italy trip. We chartered the boat with our family of four, including our two teenage sons. The boat was beautiful, Augusto was accommodating and shared great information about the Amalfi Coast. The prosecco and beer with a few snacks was very nice as well. It was a beautiful day on the water with many options to stop, swim and explore the coast. Book it now if you haven’t already-you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic family day trip!!!
Our family had a fantastic experience with Francesco on his boat! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made our day very memorable!! Great communication and easy to work with. We would definitely book with them again!

Amazing
We booked a tour with Francesco and he did not disappoint. He was great with making sure we were comfortable from start to finish. Communication was great. He made sure we knew what all the beautiful sites we saw really were. He answered all our questions and made great recommendations. He had some things planned for us but also gave us the freedom to choose what we wanted to do. He even had a nice little surprise for us at the end of the day! We also left some things on the boat and he drove them to our hotel later that night!! All around a great experience and I would not hesitate to book with him again.

A day you’ll remember for the rest of your life!
This was our 3rd trip with exclusive cruises on the Amalfi coast. The boat was comfortable for our group of 8. Francesco was our captain and tour guide. He was so friendly and attentive. He shared so much information about the various cities on the coast. He accommodated anything we asked for and took us for an unforgettable swim in cave. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives and would happily book a 4th or more tour with Exclusive Cruises if we find our way back to the Amalfi coast again. Thank you Francesco for a truly unforgettable experience.

Nice boat ride from Sorrento to Positano
It was a great day from Sorrento to Positano with captain Francisco. Two couples on his motorboat. Francisco was friendly and very accommodating, he made our trip a positive experience. We stopped in Nerano for lunch at his favorite restaurant.
Response from the operator: We're so glad you had a positive experience, and we hope to welcome you aboard again in the future! Kind Regards, Flora

Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to 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 Positano! cost?
+
Prices start at $1,717 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 Positano! take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Positano! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 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 Positano! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-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 Positano!?
+
Around 3 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to 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?
+

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.
