Friendly captain -horrible upkeep
Friendly captain, but amenities were falsely advertisedWe booked this excursion based on the listing, which advertised a beautiful cabin, restroom access, Prosecco, and limoncello. Sadly, it did not live up to expectations. The only positive was that the captain was friendly. Otherwise, no snacks, limoncello or prosecco were ever offered. The cabin stayed locked, and once I asked permission to go below deck to change, I found the space in total disarray/a complete mess. The restroom also looked like it wasn't in use at all.

Amalfi coast trip
From start to finish the experience was extraordinary. Andrea went out of his way to pick us up from our hotel and take us to the boat. We had a very enjoyable trip with Andrea and Massimo the captain. They showed us around the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts, pointing out all of the things of interest with some history thrown in for good measure. We enjoyed a stop at Positano, and a pre arranged lunch at Nerano which they arranged at our request and was very authentic and delicious. My eight year old was thrilled to stop and swim a few times along the way. Andrea also fed the fish which meant we were swimming amongst a shoal - very cool! Andrea very kindly dropped us off after the trip. A very special day. Would recommend it to everybody.
Response from the operator: We really appreciate your positive feedback! We’re so happy to hear that everything met your expectations. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Highly Recommend
This was a great day out. We swam in the sea, we circumnavigated the island of Capri, we saw the famous caves. We had lunch in Marina Piccolo in a lovely seafood restaurant, we got a taxi up to Capri and then walked back to Marina Piccolo to get back on the boat, swim some more and complete the trip. Luciano our skipper was friendly and informative. Would recommend for a highlight of your time in this area.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re so glad you had a great time and enjoyed your experience with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our whole team. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Capri!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Boat Tour to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Private Boat Tour to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano cost?
+
Prices start at $769 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 to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano 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 Private Boat Tour to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 212 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 to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-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 to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano 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 Tour to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-Positano?
+
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 Private Boat Tour to Capri or Amalfi Coast from Sorrento-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 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.
