Our skipper, Ivan, was great. He suggested a plan, but was flexible and happy to vary it when one of our group felt unwell, with plenty of stops for swims and photos. He was very experienced and appeared respected by other skippers. He handled the boat with ease - with some of the prime attractions very busy and congested. Glad we had hired a skipper rather than self-drive - especially as made stopping for lunch in Priano much more relaxing (with lots of lines in water). Recommend Il pirata for lunch - bookings suggested with port fee payable. Boat has everything we needed, including toilet, lots of drinks on offer, tasty fruit platter and towels (which were dried while we had lunch). Wonderful day and one of the highlighted of our extended travels.

We had a fantastic experience with the boat trip and our skipper, Ivan. He's a very friendly man. He showed us the most beautiful beaches for swimming and even brought fresh fruit, soft drinks, and other snacks on board for us. Towels were also provided after swimming. I would recommend booking a boat trip with Ivan to everyone. It's the ideal way to explore the Amalfi Coast with a very friendly skipper ;-). Thanks, Ivan.

We had the most incredible boat day with our very experienced captain, Ivan! Communication was great from start to finish. He took us to all the best swimming spots and shared local knowledge of the coast. 100% worth it! A must do on your amalfi coast trip!

We did the 4 hour tour of the amalfi coast with Ivan and it was the absolute highlight of our trip! The boat was amazing, there was fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on board, and Ivan shared with us a traditional bread that was incredible. There are many stops to swim and take photos. Highly recommended!

Best Day Ever – Unforgettable Tour with Ivan! We had the most incredible day on the water with Ivan – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He took us along the stunning Amalfi Coast, from Maiori to Positano and everywhere in between, showing us hidden gems and giving us a local’s insight into the area. We jumped off the boat into the crystal-clear water, soaked in the sun, laughed nonstop, and even enjoyed fresh fruit on board. The vibes were absolutely perfect – chill, fun, and full of gratitude. Ivan went above and beyond in every way. We felt so taken care of and could genuinely relax and enjoy the beauty around us. We can't fully express how amazing this day was. Ivan, you are the BEST tour guide ever. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll carry forever. If you’re thinking about booking a boat tour – do it, and make sure it’s with Ivan. 10/10, no question. – The Girls 💙

I highly recommend this discovery of the Amalfi Coast in the company of Ivan on his very comfortable boat, the Aurora. A cruise punctuated by a thousand thoughtful touches to make this tourist experience an unforgettable family experience. The 7-hour package is perfectly suited to the pace of the vacation, with its multiple swimming opportunities and the beauty of the surroundings. Thank you. Sebastien and family

We had the most amazing day on the water with Ivan as our skipper! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel so welcome — with fresh towels, delicious fruit, and refreshing drinks ready for us. Ivan was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about giving guests a wonderful experience. He took us to the most beautiful spots, and honestly, the entire experience was a highlight for our family. But if we had to pick one unforgettable moment — it was when he brought us to a hidden cove where the kids (ages 8 to 13) could jump off a small cliff into the sparkling blue water. It was safe, exciting, and pure joy — something we’ll all remember forever. If you're considering booking a boat — don’t hesitate. Book with Ivan without a second thought. You’ll be so glad you did!

Ivan was an amazing host. Everything went great. The boat was clean and had plenty of room. We stopped 3 times to swim in amazing waters with beautiful fish. Snorkeling gear was provided along with swim noodles. My 8 year old daughter said it was the best day ever! Highly recommend! Thanks Ivan!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give this boat tour 100 stars, I would. From start to finish, it was absolute perfection. Cruising along the Amalfi Coast felt like living inside a postcard—crystal clear water, charming villages carved into cliffs, and the sun sparkling off the sea like diamonds. Ivan was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming. He knew all the hidden gems and secret swimming spots—and gave us just the right amount of history without making it feel like a lecture. We stopped to swim off the coast of Amalfi, drank Peronis while floating in the middle of paradise, and even had time to explore Positano for the most delicious limoncello spritz. The boat itself was immaculate and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax, take in the views, and snap those dreamy photos that don’t even need a filter. I’ve done boat tours before, but this was something special. If you’re in Amalfi, do not skip this experience—it was the highlight of my trip!

Our trip was simply outstanding from initial communication to meeting point directions and then the trip itself. Ivan is a wonderful man, very friendly, knowledgable and great with children. Would whole heartedly recommend as the best way to see the southern Amalfi coast - don’t hesitate to book it if you are considering a boat trip.

It was the perfect experience for my wife and me. The boat was very comfortable and practically spotless. We admired the beautiful coastline all the way down to Positano and took great pictures. Ivan took us to a beautiful swimming spot at the beginning and another before we returned. At the second spot we swam to the beach and made a spa of the warm pebbles. Ivan is an exceptional skipper. He made us completely comfortable and helped us to have a fantastic time. His piloting is masterful. The meetup and paying for everything upfront was very convenient. We weren’t sure at first about the expense, but we can confidently say it was well worth it. The duration was perfect (given that we did not have desire to walk around in any cities).

An amazing adventure today. Ivan was an outstanding Captain, very welcoming and accommodating. Ivan came with a plan but was happy to take our suggestions as well. Several opportunities to stop and swim and many photographic opportunities. An amazing offering of fruit and later a salad of home grown tomatoes, olives and herbs and spices. A wonderful day and a highlight for our trip.

This was easily the BEST part of our entire trip! I can not recommend Ivan enough. He truly made our time in Maiori an unforgettable time. Ivan had every part of our tour planned out and we enjoyed every second of it. He had an arrangement of fruit available for us and unlimited drinks! He even took us to a private part to swim and snorkel! Ivan was so sweet and friendly and gave us such an interesting history lesson throughout the entire trip! If you are ever in need of a skipper, Ivan is your guy!!!

We had an amazing time on our 6 hour honeymoon excursion. Ivan took us up and down the Amalfi coast and has great knowledge of significant buildings and history. He knows the best places to swim and even a “private” beach in Positano. This is a must-do in the Amalfi coast!! He is so, so nice. Also he provided fresh fruit and drinks- all were delicious!!! Would do this again and again. We almost booked a boat without a captain and I’m so glad we did this instead. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time

Absolutely top notch experience, one of the best in the business for sure! Super kind, very professional and they know the best spots for swimming and sightseeing! Ivan, the skipper, is the kindest person ever. Palma was understanding and flexible enough to let us reschedule for a later hour due to the fact that our train got delayed. Thank you guys so much, we can't wait to be back!!!

What a lovely afternoon sailing the Amalfi coast, Ivan was amazing, pointing out all the places to see and sharing the history. Nothing was too much trouble - we were very well looked after. I wish I had booked earlier in the week as we would definitely have booked a second afternoon. We left some items on the boat and Ivan kindly dropped them off at our hotel - thank you. Would absolutely recommend …

10 STARS! Ivan was amazing and made our day exploring the Amalfi Coast extra special. Fantastic boat, delicious local food that he prepared. Lots of Swimmng, drinks laughing, photo opportunities and great music. Ivan also made us a booking at a sensational seafood restaurant in Atrani. Arriving by boat for lunch is all the more special. If you are reading this review trying to decide on a boat trip, stop your research and book the Aurora with Ivan. You will love it!

Excellent experience. Very accommodating on every level - pickup spot, time, locations to see (do not miss Fiordi!) and even music. App was a bit challenging in terms of who I was communicating with (the boat owner? Boat captain? Click and Boat service?) but overall good and reliable.

We decided to go boating last minute. Palma was super efficient in communicating and arranging the rental and Ivan (her father) was our skipper for the morning! What a fantastic man - he really looked after us, showed us the sights and spoiled us with beautiful fresh fruit and drinks. In the end he arranged for us to visit a local restaurant and dropped us off at the nearest jetty with a huge smile. Would certainly recommend.

The day before we took the ferry from Amalfi to Positano and had a doubt whether it was worth repeating the route on a private tour. So I can reassure you that this speculation was a completely incomparable experience. We had time to swim, to observe the real beauty of the Amalfi Coast from close enough. Everything was just for us.

Ivan was a fantastic host for our boat ride. He knows so much about the coast that we never would have learned on our own. He found the coolest spots for us to swim (cave and a beach only accessible by boat). He also was so kind to take our pictures and send them to me. Palma is great with communication, which was wonderful. Ivan is so much fun too! We will be back
