What to expect

One of the most photogenic stretches of coastline in the world is just a boat trip away from Sorrento. Set out along the craggy cliffs and secluded bays to Positano and Amalfi with plenty of stops for swimming during this full day excursion.

Our first port of call will be Amalfi, where you'll have an hour or so of free time to drink up the atmosphere and even sit with a gelato or refreshing drink at one of the pavement-side cafés lining the Piazza del Duomo.

Then, sailing past the Amalfi coastline, stopping to swim as we please, we'll make our way to Positano. Here you'll step off the boat onto dry land for some more free time to explore the candy-coloured houses tumbling down steep cliffs and crooked lanes packed with cafés and bakeries. On our way back to port, you'll be treated to a limoncello tasting on board the boat.

    Incredibly uncomfortable. If we had known the boat was so small we would not have booked the trip. Journey too fast, we were told to sit up front where there wasn't any seating and little to hold on to. Pretty dangerous actually.

    First date was cancelled due to rough seas , boat was tiny and the trip is a glorified taxi on the sea , the boat was like a speed boat but not big enough for the 8 people on board , boat driver was nice and we had free snacks

    Our guide, Mario, was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he made sure everyone on the boat was ok. He told us lots of interesting facts about the local area, including tips and advice. The sea swim was the absolute highlight. The spot chosen was just stunning and we didn’t feel at all rushed. We had the unexpected bonus of pasta for lunch too. The boat wasn’t very comfortable for such a long time spent on it though. That would be my only moan.

    it is not what was advertised, for starters it was pictured as a nice boat where you could relax and sunbathe. instead it was an old fishing boat the worst boat in the entire coast and it barely had seating, and not relaxing at all the boat was so loud. Additionally there has been no opportunity to swim as we please as was advertised

    Pick up efficient - driver was lovely - when we stopped to swim he was very chatty. We booked based on limoncello tasting - this wasn’t offered. Swim didn’t feel very safe as we stopped just outside Positano - no special spot. Although a great way to get around and see coastline it wasn’t particularly comfortable - an expensive taxi!
