We read numerous reviews stating that a boat tour of Capri was always an Amalfi highlight. Valentine's Boat Rental was everything expected, and more!
Online, Tiziana handles the bookings and rendezvous ashore. Her husband, Giuseppe ('Pepe') drives the boat, assited by Francesco. The 31' boat is very comfortable and their service at the highest level.
Our plan: depart Positano, tour completely around Capri, disembark in Capri's Marina Grande for lunch, complete Capri tour, head home.
Weather precluded seeing Blue Grotto (not uncommon). Visited White and Green Grottoes, along with several other geographic historical places.
Weather was mid-60-degrees, sunny in the AM, light rain sprinkles in the PM. Did not go swimming due to weather, but there is plenty of time to do-so if desired.
Parts of the transit required us to go inside the boat.
I was impressed with Pepe's boat handling in the grottoes and on the open water, minimizing boat motion and spray. A superb Captain.
20-year old Francesco is a gem (great English) and a heartthrob...leaving it there....
This trip is worth every Euro!
Next time: Will consider a tour of the Amalfi coast east of Positano. But for only one day, take the Valentine Boat to Capri! Proven to be a highlight (and this was our third trip to Positano). Valentine's Boat Rental will be part of our plan of our next visit in 2020.
