Luca is also a very highly skilled captain, getting us so close to the amazing rocks! We drank, ate, and swam plenty, and saw beautiful sites and had a wonderful time. We went on 9/28 and the water for swimming was amazing - from someone who refuses to get in cold water! Great tour, great people, highly recommend.”

His boat was perfect and comfortable and he knew all the interesting information about the coast. Although it turned into a rainy day we didn’t mind at all. We still swam in many different spots and had lunch at a delicious and authentic restaurant on the water. Thank you much Giovanni for an unforgettable experience!”

We started in Amalfi where we were staying and saw many different towns by boat as we learned the history of them. We also stopped at a few places so our family can swim. Thereafter we went to Positano for lunch, which was our choice but they recommend great spots as well and headed back. The trip lasted about 6 hours and well worth every penny. By the way we upgraded to the speed boat last minute which was a great choice!”
