Mario is a great charter boat driver - Excellent Capri boat tour — highly recommended. We had a wonderful boat tour around the coast of Capri, and our driver was outstanding from start to finish. He gave us a beautiful, relaxed tour of the whole coastline and made the experience feel special without ever making us feel rushed or stressed about the schedule. One of the biggest reasons I appreciated him was how accommodating he was with my 76-year-old mother, who has mobility issues. He was patient, thoughtful, and made sure she was comfortable throughout the day. That meant a lot to our family. He also spoke excellent English, explained things clearly, and had a very calm, professional manner. You could tell he is a true professional mariner, not just someone driving a boat. He made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed, professional, and memorable Capri boat experience.

Great Ischia experience! - Absolutely great experience. We were picked up at our hotel in Sorrento and driven to the port where we boarded an amazing boat that was nicer than the one I had signed up for. The crew recommended a great itinerary for Ischia including a stop at a natural hot springs, a great lunch with a view of the Argonne castle. Would highly recommend this group for future tours.

BEST boat experience!! - This was AWESOME!! Our tour guide was Nicholas and he was great!! We took a full day trip to Positano and he took us to different spots around the Sea to tan and hangout on the boat!! He was so easy to contact and I HIGHLY recommend this! We have 9 people and it was perfect to tan and enjoy the sun (and prosecco!)😊

Perfect day on the water - Our tour with Positano boat tours was nothing short of perfect. We were picked up from our cruise port in a comfortable and private Mercedes van and drove a short way to the marina where our boat departed. We were greeted by our captains Giovanni and Nicola who made our tour fully customizable. We appreciated Giovannis honesty when it came down to recommendations; he was completely transparent about what is worth seeing and what would be a disappointment or tourist trap. After visiting Amalfi, they took us to a restaurant with delicious food and hospitable service. We truly felt they gave us VIP treatment from start to finish and appreciate their gracious hospitality! If you’re looking for a fully customized boat tour don’t hesitate to book with Positano Boat Tours, you won’t regret it!

Magical Experience - We booked this private tour from Positano to Ischia, and it was the best experience of our vacation! The boat was spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. The views during the cruise were breathtaking. We had time to explore the area and then enjoyed swimming in the crystal-clear waters, especially in front of the ancient Aragonese Castle—a magical experience. The skipper was exceptional: attentive, professional, and made us feel at home, even letting us choose our own music. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking luxury, relaxation, and spectacular views. A true paradise!

Best Honeymoon Boat Day - The tour exceeded our expectations. Our skipper Giuseppe was great and knew the area well and made sure we had an amazing honeymoon trip. Ischia was one of our favorite stops and we had plenty of time to explore the island and tour the castle which I highly recommend doing.

A memorable boat tour not to be missed 🫶🏻 - Every year we come to Sorrento and book our boat trip with Restart because they always make our boat tour experience so memorable. The captain/drivers are always so knowledgeable and friendly, taking you to special spots for beautiful scenery and photo opportunities. You can have a glass of fizz, beer or soft drinks and snacks whilst on the boat. I recommend to this company to friends, family and clients for their trips to the Amalfi Coast because it will take your holiday from a 10 to an 11! Shoutout to the wonder Giuseppe for our tour yesterday to Ischia (highly recommend to anyone that wants to visit this gem of an Italian island that isn’t too busy…yet!) Plus we also saw dolphins on our journey out 🥹🥹 5 ***** from Mr & Mrs Booth using you in our 3rd year!

One of the most wonderful times of our lives in Italy - Let me just start by saying that it was most one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life and I’ve been all over the world Giovanni made everything so personal he explaining things about every location, the history of such and what to expect and not to expect… I feel that we have become actual friends on an eight hour trip and he was the most thoughtful captain of a boat trip that I’ve ever experienced….. Always wanting to make sure that we have the upmost pleasurable positive experience on our trip and not to mention it was my 60th birthday. Which made it even better…. I would highly recommend this company not to mention the captain Giovanni, who will always make your day and your experience. Something of a lifetime. Again, I wanna thank you Giovanni for everything you’ve done for my wife and I yesterday it’s been one of the most amazing trips ever. Hope to see you soon your friend James, and Marci.
