    Stellar experience with Francesco!

    If you're considering a private boat tour, this one is an absolute MUST! And if you can, do it with Francesco. It's not just a boat ride; it's a memory that will stay with you forever. Our family had an out of this world experience, from the tour of the coast and history of the grottos, to the lunch recommendation and flexibility of Francesco. Definitely booking again when we return next year!!

    A very memorable, wonderful day!

    Our captain Francesco was fantastic! Both Francesco and Flora at Exclusive Cruises communicated very well, given the port at Positano was crowded at our pick up time, etc. Our lunch at La Tonnarella was just magnificent (I recommend the flounder - expensive but worth it). Such a wonderful and memorable day!

    Best day ever!

    The best day of our trip to Amalfi coast! The team was so helpful leading up to the day, helping make reservations for lunch and coordinating pick up right from the town of Praiano that we stayed in. The day itself was beautiful and Luigi led an amazing tour for us around Capri and the coast. Couldn't recommend this experience more!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words—I am thrilled to hear that your day with us was the highlight of your Amalfi Coast trip! It was a pleasure organizing everything from your pickup in Praiano to the lunch reservations, and I am so glad everything came together seamlessly. Luigi will be especially happy to hear your praise—he loves sharing the beauty and history of Capri and the coastline. Your recommendation means the world to us, and I hope to welcome you back aboard on your next visit! Warm regards, Valeria

    Poor weather ruined a great Program

    We had terrible weather and didn’t get to swim. The captain idled to fill the day but this allowed the boat to bob up and down the whole time. Any throttle would have planed us but they are just filling time so going a mile an hour faster or two doesn’t serve them well and I get that. On a nice day this would be a great experience, they don’t make the weather. The Ferry’s were cancelled everyday except that day and it was rough. We didn’t go to Capri and I had no desire as we wanted to fully utilize the boat time. Staff and boat are excellent.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review, and we truly appreciate your understanding of the weather conditions. We completely agree...on a sunny, calm day, the experience would have been a lot more enjoyable. We're glad to hear you found the staff and the boat to be excellent, even though the weather didn’t cooperate. We always strive to make the most of every trip, and we hope you'll consider joining us again on a better day for a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

    Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salerno.

    How much does Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,247 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salerno 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 to Capri Cruise 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 Salerno is not rushed.

    Is Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 145 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salerno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise?

    +

    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 to Capri Cruise 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 Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise?

    +

    Around 51 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 Salerno 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 Salerno and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise 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 Salerno 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 Salerno?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Salerno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Positano, Amalfi Coast Boat tour Small Group, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello Full Day Tour with Boat Option. 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 Salerno?

    +

    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 Salerno?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise?

    +

    Included: Local captain; Snacks; Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; and Use of snorkel masks. Not included: Lunch (An optional stop with many small local restaurants accessible by boat long the way); Blue Grotto entrance fee of €18 per person (optional); and Capri charges a €100 fee only if you use the main port, which is optional. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise?

    +

    Wait at the port in the exact spot where the ferryboats pick up Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour: Amalfi Coast to Capri Cruise if the weather is bad?

    +
