A Must Do When Visiting Amalfi Coastline

Best day of our trip!
Andrea and the Approdo team were amazing! We had a boat day out of Positano and they took us to Capri. They were very communicative, friendly, and fun! They answered all our questions and even helped us with other questions we had about Positano and the Amalfi Coast. The boat day was definitely a highlight of our trip and we would absolutely book with them again next time :)

Andrea and the entire Approdo team were absolutely amazing to work with! They were incredibly accommodating, even helping us arrange a last-minute booking for one of their tours. Our captain, Luigi, extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area. We had no idea where to start, so we left it up to Luigi to create the perfect itinerary, and he did not disappoint! Most of our day was spent on the boat, starting in Sorrento and cruising along the coast to Positano, followed by lunch in Capri and a tour of all the major highlights around the island. Everything was seamless, relaxing, and unforgettable. Luigi’s local knowledge and recommendations made the experience truly special. We would highly recommend Approdo Boat Excursions to anyone looking for an incredible experience along the Amalfi Coast and Capri. Thank you again, Andrea and Luigi, for making this the best part of our vacation in Italy! 🇮🇹⛵️

Amazing boat day!
My family and I had an amazing time on private boat tour to Capri. Giuseppe was informative and showed us all the beautiful spots and stopped a couple of times so we can swim! Very patient and accommodating. He also stopped by a fishing village for lunch by the beach front where we had another swim. Love that this tour lets us customise the day how we want it. It was a beautiful and relaxing boat day!

Quality and trust, APPRODO BOAT EXCURSIONS, the gold standard!
Owner Andrea provided exceptional information and service. He was understanding of our needs and his choice of captain (Carlo) provided a memorable day for my wife and me. Leaving the choices for our day to captain Carlo allowed us to experience the best of Amalfi and scrumptious local restaurant choice. We will be recommending Approdo Boat Excursions to all of our Australian friends and have promised owner Carlo we will only use them when we next come to Sorrento. Had the very best experience, from Jon and Danielle.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri cost?
+
Prices start at $1,387 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 76 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri?
+
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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri?
+
Around 27 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 Capri Boat Tour from Sorrento, Positano or Capri 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.
