5 star experience. Highly...
Alexandra_C, October 2026
5 star experience. Highly recommend. Cristian was engaging and really wanted to make sure guests had a great experience. Unfortunately, the weather was getting worse and we decided not to do the Blue Grotto. But the scenery was still great and the dip in the sea was awesome. Would do this again!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Perfect Day from Positano to Capri!
tombS8471QW, October 2026
We had a tremendous day with Christian. He was a fun, entertaining captain of the boat. Capri was beautiful and after a hard hike up the hill and many steps, the shopping is amazing. Later, we visited the Blue Grotto which I highly recommend. Spend the extra money to go in. Then we went to the other side of Capri and swam for awhile. The water was clear and exhilarating with lots of fish! It was a perfect day experience leaving from Positano!
Response from the operator · Positano B
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a perfect day from Positano to Capri. It’s wonderful to know that Christian made the experience so fun and entertaining, and that you enjoyed the Blue Grotto, swimming, and exploring the beautiful island. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day on the water! - Positano Boats Team

chrisgH5463HJ, October 2026
This tour was not a good value in our opinion. Better to take a ferry over to Capri, and if you do so, make sure you spend plenty of time on the island at your pace. The tour promises stops to the Blue Grotto among other places, which our captain seemed anxious to avoid. There was also confusion amongst the passengers as to whether swimming was included. He said he’d take us the the grottos after time on the island rather than earlier so we could “get in”, but changed his tune later and said it was closed. He also ended the trip early without explanation, but we all knew it was because we did not spend adequate time at the promised sites. On a positive note, we did meet some fun people and the company did return my wife’s purse which she accidentally left behind. Bottom liner - find a better way to tour Capri.
Response from the operator · Positano B
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the Blue Grotto visit is optional and subject to sea and weather conditions, as explained in the tour information before booking. Swimming stops are also dependent on the conditions of the day and the captain’s assessment of safety. Our captains must always prioritize the safety and comfort of everyone on board. We understand that every traveler has different expectations, and we’re sorry if there was any confusion during the tour. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. - Positano Boats Team

Overall, the experience...
Jose_P, October 2026
Overall, the experience was positive. It is worth noting that the tour allows a visit to the blue grotto only when everyone consents. On our day, our group included an American family that chose not to go. Go figure.
Response from the operator · Positano B
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had an overall positive experience. We’d just like to clarify that the Blue Grotto visit is optional, as stated in the tour description before booking, and requires the agreement of the entire group. It is also subject to weather and sea conditions on the day of the tour. We understand it may have been disappointing, but these conditions are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future for another beautiful day on the Amalfi Coast! - Positano Boats Team
