3.Positano and Amalfi Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,500 reviews · 8 hours · from $62Best value

Spend eight hours on a shared boat from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, with about two hours in Positano and two and a half in Amalfi. You explore without a guide, so plan your own walks, cathedral visit, meal, and shopping. Paper tickets and early port arrival matter.

“A great way to take in both Amalfi and Positano in one day! Easy pick up of tickets, then comfortable ferry between all three locations. Just enough time in each place to get a taste for it but perhaps not enough time for a sit down meal (this didn't bother us personally). Make sure to arrive at dock / port 10-15 mins before departure time as boarding was very busy at Amalfi. Definitely recommend though!”

Spend a full day on the water from Sorrento, cruising past Mount Vesuvius, Punta Campanella, Li Galli, and the Fjord of Furore. Explore Amalfi and Positano, then add Ravello by minivan. Guides such as Simon and Alba keep the day moving and share practical tips.

“It was a great day out, guide Simon was fun, approachable with questions and gave good advice. Definitely worth adding on Ravello, just a shame the Rufolo garden ticket wasn’t included in the price which I thought it was. Although only €8 each, I’m glad we added this in as it was my favourite part with gorgeous flowers, parterres and views.”

They absolutely made what was a special day absolutely fabulous. They were friendly and couldn't do enough for us all. We were given drinks, Prosecco, Limoncello and snacks throughout the day. So many swims stop in the beautiful turquoise water. Towels were supplied which was great we didn't have to worry. The boat was so comfy and a small group of 7 was the perfect amount.

13.Very Small Group Capri Boat Excursion with Transfer from Positano

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 334 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $180

Spend about nine hours cruising around Capri from the Sorrento Coast, with cave and Faraglioni stops, swimming, drinks, and three to four hours ashore. Guides such as Rafael, Rosa, Antonio, and Giuseppe are known for lively service, but remember that the boat leaves near Sorrento, not Positano.

“Overall, our group had an amazing experience. The island is gorgeous and we enjoyed the guided boat trip around the island. The captain was great and the guide, Raphael was top notch - great personality ! My only complaint is the description of the trip seems to be intentionally misleading. The description says the trip starts and in Positano, which is true. However, there is no mention that there is a 50 min drive each way from/to Positano to/from a marina near Sorrento in a van with little to no air conditioning. Had we known that the boat didn’t leave from Positano we would have booked another tour. My advice…”

We had lunch in the way back at a beach restaurant they dropped us at, the food was ok, not fabulous. Got back on the boat and had beautiful views back…”
