Ganztägige Tour: Amalfiküste und Positano-Bootstour ab Sorrent

The boat tour was amazing❤️ our host Ffrancesca and our boat captain (sorry can’t remember his name) Antonio? Were wonderful and we learned a lot along the way from all the knowledge of the area they have

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Elena was a brilliant guide and taught us so much about the Amalfi coast and surrounding villages/islands. We were very well looked after and not rushed at any of the stop points. We were about to take in the sights at Positano, Amalfi and swim in private secluded areas of the sea. We were so glad to experience the Amalfi coast in this way as it was very busy in August and we think it would have been too hectic to drive/park there. Going by sea was much more pleasant and the views were incredible!

The charter company picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was incredibly convenient, especially since the marina we left from was a short 10-20 minute ride along the coast. Once we got to the marina we were given enough time to check in (and pay the local fee for the docks in Amalfi) and enjoy a quick drink and snack at the bar before boarding our boat. We went with our 14- and 16-year old kids who both enjoyed the entire day. We were four of the 12 people on our boat but everyone we went with was pleasant enough and by the end of the day we were all chatting together. Our guide, Francesca, did an excellent job of moving between guests at the front and back of the boat to tell us about the sites we saw along the coast as we travelled to Amalfi first, before working our way back down the coast. We had 90 minutes from disembarking in Amalfi to explore the town, which was just enough time to grab some lunch but not much time for looking at the shops before returning to the boat. I would recommend applying sunscreen prior to getting on the boat or while you’re on the boat. It was about a 90 minute boat ride to Amalfi and we ended up getting sunburned because we did not apply sunscreen until after we arrived. The next stop was Positano, where we decided to spend most of our time (also 90 minutes that started once we disembarked) at the beach to beat the heat after waiting in line with other boats trying to access the dock. The beach was crowded but the water was great. We paid .50 euro each for a quick coin-op shower at the beach before stopping for gelato and returning to the boat. After a short trip our captain found a spot for us to swim for 30 minutes off the back of the boat and provided pool noodles to float on. On the way back we were offered prosecco and limoncello for the ride back to the marina. All in all, a great day! Note: We also booked the day trip to Capri for a different day of our trip and while both trips were fun we enjoyed this trip more between the two (although the Blue Grotto was closed for our Capri tour so that may have changed our minds had we been able to experience it) - I’d definitely recommend both exercising but if you’re only able to do one boat tour I would recommend this one over the Blue Grotto/Capri tour.
