Highlight of our Trip! - This boat trip was incredible and a highlight of our trip to Italy! Our original boat driver had an accident on his vespa on the morning of our boat trip. Lucia was able to promptly find us another skipper who could take us out for our boat day! Michele was our skipper and we are so grateful that he took us out on his day off. Our boat day was amazing, largely due to Michele, who showed us around the coast and took us to all of the good spots! The boat itself was also incredible. I will be booking with them again when I come back in the future!

The best way to see the Amalfi Coast - This tour with Exclusive Cruises was a major highlight of our trip to Italy. The Amalfi Coast is stunning and this all day boat tour was the best possible way to experience it. Our tour guide Lydia was so knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was very spacious and the driver was very friendly and skilled as well. Delicious prosecco and snacks were offered generously throughout and there was good flexibility to visit several of the beautiful towns and locations along the Amalfi coast. I would recommend this trip as a must to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast!

Great option to see the Amalfi Coast - This experience was amazing and a great, worry-free way to see the Amalfi Coast. Anyone who has been to this area knows the ferries can get very busy. We spent the day on a private boat stopping at really interesting and picturesque locations along the way (with the help of our very knowledgeable skipper), and got off for lunch at a place with delicious seafood and beautiful views. We felt we were in great hands from the moment we booked. This experience is hard to beat!

Essential experience on the Amalfi Coast! - Book this! It truly is the best way to experience the Amalfi Coast and worth every penny! My husband and I booked a private boat (6 hours). The boat was perfect; very clean, more than spacious with a full cabin including a bathroom. Francesco was an amazing tour guide - shared lots of history, chose the best lunch spot and found us the best spots to stop and swim (cave, waterfall, etc). Plenty of beers / prosecco available for us. We went in October so it wasn't crowded at all on the water and we had the perfect day.

Breathtaking. BOOK THE TRIP. - Our boat excursion was absolutely amazing. Seeing the coast from a boat is just breathtaking. The water was gorgeous, the weather was perfect (we went in early October), and our boat guide, Agusto, was awesome. He knows all the best spots for jumping and swimming, and he really made sure that we genuinely enjoyed our adventure. Nothing beats drinking champagne on a boat while cruising the Italian coast. We booked a private excursion, so it was just my husband and I. Highly recommend a private excursion, if you can swing it. Book it--it's worth every penny.

Incredible Experience Exploring the Amalfi Coast!! - This excursion is a MUST. We had an amazing experience with Exclusive Cruises. It is the perfect way to see the entire Amalfi coast.

I would highly recommend using Exclusive Cruises to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast!

Fantastic - This was an amazing excursion. We had the option of going to Capri as advertised or going further up the coast of Amalfi. The charter time was the same. We decided to go to Capri on the ferry and go up the coast on this boat. This saved us 4 hours of charter time where would actually be on the water. We missed out on the Blue Grotto but we did see the Emerald Grotto. We were there early enough to beat the lines. Overall we believe it was the right decision as we were able to spend more time swimming. We went into a couple sea caves, avoided time spent in lines, got some great footage on the gopro snorkeling. The skipper was hilarious. 10/10 experience.

Boat trip... - Boat trip We caught our boat at the pier in Pogerola and from there it was a beautiful day with DiBari on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Our captain and guide and his boat were perfect for our group of six. We were able to select spots for swimming, lunch and extended views from Positano to Minori and Maiori. DiBari was a native to the coast and pointed out key places along the way, including our lunch spot with a lovely view of the sea. What a wonderful day to relax and unwind with no walking:-) Highly recommend.
