Relaxing way to see the coast! - Our guide was Janero and he was so accommodating. The scenery was spectacular and the swimming memorable. We had champagne and lemon cello and he stopped at the best spots for picture taking.

Beautiful views and great times - We had a great time on our boat/snorkel tour! We did the morning cruise and ran into some stormy weather, but once it passed, our captain continued our trip safely and with confidence. The views were amazing and a great way to see the Amalfi coast from a different point of view. We were provided waters/beverages, a champagne toast and melon slices. Highly recommend this tour!

The views, the views, the views! - Our skipper, Gennaro, was a fantastic guide. He pointed out some great points of interest. The views of the coast are spectacular! And of course the water is absolutely pristine. Well worth the trip.

Tour needs more staff on board (there was only 1, which was not enough to tour and drive) - We really loved seeing the Amalfi coast from the water, which is why we loved this tour. However, the tour should include a second crew member. There was only one crew member on board, who was obviously responsible for driving the boat. This tour had about 10-12 guests on it, so some of us were on the front of the boat while some rode on the back of the boat. Not sure if the guests in the back of the boat got more out of it being closer to the tour guide, but on the front of the boat we did not get much information. I don't blame the crew member at all -- one person just isn't enough to steer the boat in rough waters (it was very wavy, not sure if this is typical of that area) and point out sights along the way. He did point out different towns and a few other sights along the way. The crew member was great, just wasn't enough to cover the whole boat. He did a great job taking us up close to sights, so it was definitely worth doing this over just seeing things from the ferry.
For comparison, we went on 2 other boat tours (Capri and Santorini) on our trip. Both had the same amount of guests (~10-12), but had more than 1 crew member. Both tours had 2 crew members - 1 to serve guests and point things out and 1 to steer the boat. Those tours were far superior to the Positano tour, which we felt was due to there only being 1 crew member. Both had many more drinks offered and many more sights pointed out. Those felt much more personal.
Again, didn't dislike this tour, just could use another person on board helping.

Meh - There are limited 4 hour boat trips along Amalfi coast. Did not want an all day trip. We took the afternoon trip advertised as 1:30-5:30, snorkeling and swimming stops, serving fruit and drinks, alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The trip itself lasted from 1:40 to barely 5. We arrived back in Positano well before 5 and the last 30 minutes was spent with the captain taking pictures of each group and then waiting to dock. The distance between Positano and Atrani is so short. It’s really a 2 hour ride. The captain did his job so no fault there. There really isn’t any snorkeling but the swim stops were great. The fruit consisted of a slice of melon per person. All around beautiful ride but not a good value at all.

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD!!!!!!!!! - I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BOAT TOUR. If you are thinking of booking with them, choose another boat company. Their customer service was absolutely terrible. They take forever to reply and are hard to communicate with via email. We had our connecting flight cancelled last minute which meant we were not able to go to Positano and we had to redirect to our next destination on our trip. We were super upset. We reached out to explain the situation and how it was out of our control- they gave us the cold shoulder and no refund. Every other reservation or excursion we booked in Positano gave us full refunds as they understood that we did not have a choice as we were not even able to make it to Positano. Not them- they basically said well that sucks. Anyways go with another boat tour who will actually respond to your messages and understands unforeseen circumstances. - Nick P
