Review of the Capri day cruise from Positano, Praiano, or Amalfi, with coastal sights, four hours on Capri, swimming, snacks, and practical tips.

“The parking in amalfi is a little difficult, but with a little searching it was not a huge problem. The dinghy ride over to Posatano was interesting but not horrible. The actual boat ride to capri was great. Very considerate staff and room for all aboard. You can ride in the front of the boat or in the back inside the enclosure. The stops on the way to and from Capri were fine. The views were incredible. Time on Capri is short but it was enough to take the chair lift to the top and to grab a bite to eat”

See Positano and the Amalfi Coast from a 12-passenger boat at sunset, with prosecco, snacks, music, Wi-Fi, and photo stops.

“Our tour was scheduled for 5:30 pm, and we arrived about 15 minutes early to check in. We waited at the meeting point—right outside a busy brasserie bar—but no guide or staff member was anywhere to be found. At 5:40, I messaged the tour operator asking where we were supposed to check in. Eventually, a random woman pointed us toward another lady sitting at the bar, who was casually on FaceTime.

When I told her we were there for the 5:30 tour, she rudely shoved her phone in my face and said, “What does…”
