Best charter tour 🍋❤️
We booked a very last minute charter with Charter System Yacht and they were all so accommodating! The boat was beautiful and they took care of everything we asked for 💛 Our day with Lorenzo and Tony was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to Italy! From the moment we stepped on board, they made the experience feel incredibly special. We cruised to Amalfi and Positano, stopped at the most beautiful swimming spots along the coast, and never once felt rushed, everything about the day was relaxed, fun, and absolutely unforgettable. Lorenzo and Tony were both wonderful: warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend the day with. They took such great care of us and knew exactly where to go to make the most of our time on the water. And a special mention for Lorenzo’s Hugo Spritzes, which were AMAZING :) Seeing the Amalfi Coast from the water was magical, but Lorenzo and Tony are what made the experience so memorable. If you’re considering booking a private boat while visiting the Amalfi Coast, do it and ask for these two. We would book with them again in a heartbeat. Grazie mille, Lorenzo and Tony, and Charter System Yachts for the most incredible day! 🇮🇹🛥️🍋

If you are looking for something memorable for your family do this Charter!

Awesome day visiting the Amalfi Coast
We spent a fantastic day visiting the Amalfi coast by boat. Huge thanks to the wonderful crew, Anselmo and Giuseppe, for making it such a magical experience. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and and nothing was too much trouble for them. They took us to a couple of beautiful swimming spots and recommended a lovely restaurant in Nerano, Il Cantuccio. Couldn’t have been a more wonderful day. Highly recommend this experience and the fantastic crew.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic day exploring the Amalfi Coast with Anselmo and Giuseppe. Their knowledge, care, and attention to detail truly make the experience special, and we’re glad you enjoyed the swimming stops and the restaurant in Nerano.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast cost?
+
Prices start at $1,429 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 Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast 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 Positano is not rushed.
Is Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast?
+
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 Positano & Amalfi coast 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 Positano & Amalfi coast?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Boat tour Positano & Amalfi coast start and how do I get there?

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.
