Beautiful private cruise up Amalfi Coast
Our 6 hour boat day with exclusive cruises was amazing. We did a trip to Positano starting from Amalfi, turned back east and stopped for lunch at La Tonnarella (excellent seafood), then made our way back toward Minori. Our captain, Francesco was such a nice guy and had so much information to share about the towns along the coast. He stopped multiple times in scenic spots for our group to swim and relax. This cruise is an absolute must if you want a day on the water in the Amalfi Coast.

Amazing Tour on Almafi Coast
We cannot recommend this tour enough. We went with our family and it truly the most magical day that we have ever spent as a family. The boat, the service and especially our captain Francesco was the ultimate host and was so knowledable. We cannot recommend and the amount of things we saw in one day was truly incredible. We saw all of the towns along the almafi coast in one day and were blown away. Thank you for the tour of a lifetime!

10/10!!!
This boat day was truly one of the best days on our honeymoon. We absolutely loved our boat captain Luigi. We were able to personalize our itinerary to go to lunch at Lo Scoglio (which had been a bucket list spot for me) but also had time to explore the beautiful amalfi coast and all it has to offer. Getting to jump into the water to swim over to caves, see fish, cliff jump, etc. was a blast. Would reccommend a million times over!! Thank you!

Private boat tour to Capri
We had absolutely the best time. Captain and skipper were excellent and made sure we got to see everything that we wanted to see. They took their time to explain everything we were seeing and made our experience 100%.

AGAIN!!
Francesco and his boat “again” gave us a day we’ll never forget! He was the perfect captain, host, tour guide, and friend as we cruised the Amalfi Coast to Sorrento and back. All we can say is: please take us on “again”… and again!!! Many thanks for the most perfect boating day. Ciao😍

Private Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $2,005 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 20 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento?
+
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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento?
+
Around 7 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Sorrento 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.
