boat hire in Amalfi · Idea Marine — Idea 58 Open (2024)

This is the best possible boat experience for the amalfi coast! Our skipper Enrico was very nice, knowledgeable and professional. He made our trip perfect and tailored to our preferences. The boat was the perfect size for the two of us and came with towels, masks, snacks and drinks which we enjoyed. Enrico even dropped us off at a port closer to where we were staying. I will never forget this trip nor the amazing experience from Giovanni and his team

Umberto was an excellent host. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience, couldn’t have asked for anything better! The boat was good even in somewhat choppy water, and the captain explained a lot of the history along the coast. If you are going to positano I would highly recommend booking Giovanni

Giovanni was very responsive and made finding him at the marina very easy. He put together a great itinerary with plenty of opportunities to take a swim as well as enjoy the views. The lunch he suggested, while seemingly over-priced (I suspect many captains take their boaters to the same location) everything we ate there was still very good. Overall a great day.

Great experience! Really appreciated getting picked up in positano to start the tour when our ferry to amalfi got cancelled by another company due to engine issues. Giovanni was very patient and communicative. Highly recommend!

Our full-day boat tour to Capri with Giovanni was hands down one of the highlights of our entire Italy trip. From the moment we first reached out, Giovanni was incredibly responsive, kind, and thoughtful. He helped us coordinate every detail seamlessly — even accommodating our special gender reveal moment by receiving and bringing along celebration props. The tour itself was nothing short of magical. The boat was beautiful, the route was perfectly paced, and Giovanni made sure we experienced the very best of Capri and its stunning coastline. His knowledge of the area, flexibility, and genuine hospitality made the entire day feel effortless and unforgettable. What truly set this experience apart was Giovanni himself — he went above and beyond to make our babymoon extra special. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet so warm and personally invested in your experience. We’re so grateful for the memories he helped us create and would 100% recommend booking with Giovanni if you want a smooth, scenic, and truly meaningful day on the water.

Giovanni was welcoming and communicative since minute one. He was flexible with our trip and worked around bad weather. The boat was nice and bigger than planned but a bit small for a long day at sea, especially in rough weather. I would consider a bigger boat from Amalfi to Capri. Our skipper, Enrico, was fun and knowledgeable. We were given many options for stops for swimming, but lunch seemed to be a deal arranged ahead, but it ended up being lovely. The one ding on a wonderful day was that we asked to go to Capri from our original message, but it wasn't until we stepped on the boat that we were told it was an extra 100 euros to go on land. This should have been communicated earlier or just included since it was why we were originally booked this trip.
