Gorgeous Half Day Boat ride with snorkeling in the bluest waters! - Beautiful experience! Just the right amount of time, and glad we went in the morning because it gets hot in the afternoon, even in September. Boat driver was very friendly, and explained historical sights along the way. Halfway through, we got to get out of the boat and go snorkeling. They provided pool noodles and goggles. Clearest water I’ve ever seen, and you’re swimming along with the fish! Very cool experience. We are so happy we decided to book this excursion.

Book It - Absolutely wonderful experience. This was an amazing way to learn more about the rest of the Amalfi Coast and it was a good mix of boating and swimming. Our tour guide was an absolute gem. This was one of our most memorable days on our trip!

Great captain and boat tour! - I loved going on the boat around Amalfi! The captain was great, he made sure everyone in the group had a fantastic time. The half day tour for us was perfect because we were able to book other activities in the afternoon. The drinks and snacks provided was great and it was an awesome experience! I highly recommend this activity.

Excellent Amalfi Coast tour! - Excellent small group (10 people) boat tour and snorkeling. If you want to see an amazing view of the coast and enjoy the crystal blue water, this is it!!!! Toured the coast from Positano to tip of Salerno. Stopped 2xs to jump out to enjoy the sea. Snorkeled among many fish in clear water and swam to a private beach. Captain Genaro was a pleasure, pulled us into a cave and drove around rock formations. Ended off with some prosecco. Would absolutely recommend this to trip!!!!! Expect 4 hours long.

Escape the Heat for a day at SEA! - What a fantastic day! Gennaro was a great host- small pristine boat tour with fun tidbits about the various towns we passed along the Amalfi coast. The opportunities to jump in and swim were interspersed at the perfect times and in the most fantastic locations. This day was the perfect break from our heat-soaked city tours. And the champagne and limoncello were the icing on the cake!

Ideal for families in search of a quick tour of the area - So great! Our guide was fantastic, and the day was well punctuated with swimming/snorkeling stops, Prosecco breaks and a shot of Lemoncello. The boat was very comfy and not too crowded. Fantastic time!

Great half day tour! - The half day trip was incredible! We had 4 hours which seemed to be the perfect amount of time to see the sights along the coast and stop to swim in two different spots. Our tour guide was great and the process of booking/ finding the location was simple and smooth.

Cancelled tour the night before - Unfortunately, we did not get to do this tour that we had been looking forward to all week. The night before, we received an email telling us that our confirmed afternoon tour was no longer available, but that we could switch to the morning or another date. Unfortunately, we had planned this for our last day, and had already scheduled something else for the morning. We were left scrambling trying to find another boat tour. Luckily we did, and it was amazing, but it was definitely stressful spending our final dinner in Positano reaching out to other boat operators. Would not recommend Positano Boats.
