You know! Hybrid boat from Sorrento - truly amazing - One of the highlights of my trip to Sorrento. The boat tour was fantastic, and Raffael and Roberta were wonderful hosts. They treated us well and made us feel special.

Amalfi-Positano tour. An experience to repeat. - I highly recommend this tour.
Roberta and Raffaele are very kind and funny, the places we visited are truly unique. The tour includes two stops in Amalfi and Positano, long enough to visit the towns and swim, as well as other swim stops on the outward and return journey. The boat used for navigation is large enough to accommodate everyone, very comfortable and elegant. The organizers also offered us an aperitif, a packed lunch and a further aperitif before the return.
Transportation to and from boarding was also well organised. In short, a day to repeat.

Fantastic boat and Service! - Rosario and Francesco did a great job taking care of all our needs. They asked us if we wanted to shorten our times in Amalfi and Positano (because of the 105 degree temp) and instead swim at cool caves and pretty inlets which was perfect. They also kept bringing food and drinks all day! Very knowledgeable of the area as well! Couldn’t of had a better boat trip, simply outstanding!!

The best tour for a relaxing and fun introduction to the Amalfi Coast! - Amazing day by boat as an introduction to the Amalfi coast! After reading reviews about car and bus tours being on very narrow, winding roads that have a lot of curves and are full of traffic, I decided a boat tour was the way to go for our family (2 adults and 2 teens). I thought about just taking the ferry, but wanted more information, a slower pace, and the opportunity to swim! This tour was perfect- the boat was comfortable (enough seats for the 9 on board to sit and/or lay out on the front of the boat on a padded surface; big enough boat not to get knocked around but with the hybrid engine so we could explore areas that are limited), the crew AMAZING (guide gave enough info to be interesting and learn about how the coast we were passing but not overwhelming, took pics of each group at different scenic spots, super funny and genuinely kind, and just took care of us- we were offered cold beverages several times: Coke, Sprite, beer, water; snacks- variety of individual bagged chips, fresh fruit cup after we got back on the boat in Amalfi with the option to add Prosecco, a fresh Caprese sandwich for lunch; at the end, the BEST limoncello I have ever had). We stopped to swim twice on the way out from Sorrento and once on the way back, and were given almost 2 hours in Amalfi on our own, then 1.5 hours in Positano. This was enough time to get a taste of both destinations. This was our family’s first time to the area, so it was the right mix of experiences and timing for us. We now know that next time would take the ferry to Positano for a day but go and stay in Amalfi for a few days. For us this tour was the perfect start to our time in the area and 1000% recommend it!

the perfect day trip! - I took my mother on this day trip from Sorrento. Host Ross, Captain Francesco and the other travelers made it such a great day! We loved being out on the boat all day with the few stops along the way. It was cool to be on a hybrid boat, knowing we were doing a little better for the environment, and it allowed us into protected areas where conventional boats cannot go. Also nice to see the coast from the perspective of the sea and learn about it from our host. Added bonus - the convenience of the hotel pick up and drop off made our day so much easier. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone at any age!

Amazing day on the Amalfi Coast - This was one of the most exceptional tours I have ever been on! I knew going in that the sights would be amazing, but the boat and guide were made it that much better. The right amount of information and details were given about the sites we saw- just enough so you could further appreciate what we were passing by or seeing. The boat was smooth, plenty big for the group size (9 total; my family of 4, a couple, and family of 3). There was plenty of seats for those who wished to sit in a proper bench seat, plus the padded front of the boat to lay out on or sit up and enjoy the sites.
I had major spinal surgery last summer (L3-S1 with rods and screws and a cage) and my back was completely fine during this tour. I did bring with me an inflatable lumbar support pillow which helped. The ride was so smooth and comfortable and the driver, really good. There was no shortage of snacks and beverages (different flavors of potato chips, Coke, water, lemon soda, iced tea, and even a homemade Caprese sandwich at the middle of the tour which was delicious). We stopped to swim twice, once on the way to Amalfi and once on the way back from Positano to Sorrento, which was very refreshing and enjoyable! Swimming noodles were provided and assistance back up onto the boat, as well as on and off the boat in the ports. Definitely felt pampered and well taken care of so that we could just relax and take everything in!
We had almost 2 hours in Amalfi which was enough to get a taste of the city- this was our first time on the Amalfi coast so it was a scouting mission of a sort. We had 1.5 hours in Positano which for us was enough. The entire day was perfect in all aspects (communication with the company, the guide and driver, the boat itself, the ride, timing, refreshments, swimming, and a bit of history. Totally recommend this tour for 1st timers who want a flavor of the Amalfi coast. It was so much better then driving on windy, crowded roads, and the view from the water of the coastline and cities was spectacular. I can’t say enough good things about this tour and am so glad that I spent a little more on the Eco boat so we could go closer to some sites and calmer waters.

Perfect for families - Our crew was wonderful, the wishes we had were heard and the schedule was well created. The only minus is that our puck up came 45 minutes late without any notice. Traffic can be an issue, but it would be considerate to at least inform your guests. In a strange city we were wondering if we were in a wrong place.
