My husband and I rented this boat to explore Amalfi on our own time. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful about where to go and where not to go, how far to stay out to sea, etc. They helped us exit and re-enter the busy boat area, and we paid for the gas we used at the end. It was a perfect day to see the coast and we really enjoyed our time on the boat!

Amazing experience, a must do if you are planning to travel Amalfi! Team is very helpful and easy to get to!

Enjoyed our day traveling up and down the coast. We spent most of our time swimming and sight seeing. Great communications and directions from staff, very friendly and helpful. Boat and accommodations are as advertised.

Very easy from start to finish. Check in was simple, escorted us to the boat where we had a full lesson. They came to us outside the harbor when finished and drove is to the fuel dock than dropped us off.

Excellent. Easy to find, ice available next door. Esky on the boat. Overall brilliant experience on the boat.

This was such a fun and affordable way to explore the Amalfi coast at your own pace. We were instructed how to drive the boat with no prior experience and the boat felt easy and safe to drive. We were also given island/beach recommendations which were extremely helpful.

This was an amazing experience!! They show you a map with suggested stops and restaurant for lunch — which was amazing!!!
We loved every minute.

This was without question the best thing I did on my vacation in Italy this summer. I wish I did it earlier in my stay so I could have done it again! My wife also wanted me to include that this is girls trip approved as she had no issue driving the boat as well. We were staying in Positano so we had to take the ferry to Amalfi to get the boat rental. While the rental start time is 9, you don't have to pick it up by 9. The first ferry didn't get us to Amalfi until around 9:30 and I messaged ahead and they said we can pick up the rental anytime after 9, but just needed to be back by 5pm. Once at the boat rental check in was easy, and they gave you a little pamphlet with places to go with an explanation too of course. The boat was then brought to the dock and we got on the boat and was given a quick lesson while on the boat. I am well versed in boats so I didn't spend too much time with this, but they did not rush me and It felt like if I needed more time or explanation they would provide it. Once on the boat my wife and I took the boat all the way to Capri, stopping along the way to relax and just float around. Once in Capri we docked with a company that was recommended to us during the initial check in process, please note docking in Capri is not included and was 50 euro paid to the dock master when we arrived. We had lunch at Capri before driving back and sightseeing again along the way. Once back at Amalfi they had a tender come out with one of the employees who got on our boat, took the boat to the harbors fuel station and topped off the boat. We used about half tank during the day and the fuel bill was 90 euro paid directly to the fuel station. This amount will vary based upon how much fuel you use and what the price per liter is that day. I would recommend doing this, you won't regret it! It was incredibly fun. Also if you are wondering the boat is a CAP 19 Open, 19ft boat with a 40hp engine, and of course a nice sun bimini top to stay in the shade and a cooler!

We booked our boat 7 months in advance and we're surprised how clean and new the boat was. It ran perfectl and was powerful enough to make it everywhere we wanted to go. We anchored in a nice little cove and brought a lunch with us instead of mooring at a restaurant. After lunch we swamin the sea and had a great time. I would highly recommend this to those who know the rules of boating in the sea and want the experience of a lifetime.
Aaron_N, May 2025
Highly recommended! Worth every penny! I would say if you are a decent driver then you should have no problem handling this type of boat even for the first time.

What a great part of our trip to Italy! The day of our rental was rainy and very choppy so we didn't stay out very long before coming in. We asked if we would be able to take the boat out the next morning for a few hours and since they were not fully booked, they let us.
It was a great way to experience the coast and we were able to do it at our own pace.
Thanks for letting us experience this!

Easy check in at port. Good customer service. Boat was well maintained, clean, and easy to operate. Views of the coast from the boat were fantastic.
MariaPaula_B, Sep 2024
It was a wonderful experience overall. Dominic and his staff are friendly and professional. We didn’t know a cooler was included, and that was a plus! We had the best time covering the entire coast and swimming in a fun spot in Capri. As well as lunch at the recommended stop!
Veronika_R, Aug 2024
Loved the whole experience - spacious and clean boat, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 experience
Amanda_H, Aug 2024
We rented the boat for my husband for his birthday on the Amalfie coast. It was a beautiful boat and a great ride.
Bianca_D, Aug 2024
I thought this would be a once in a lifetime experience, but we enjoyed it so much that this is the second time I’ve booked. The second time was just as incredible as the first. The team gave us all the helpful tips to ensure we got to do everything we wanted in the time we had. An entirely unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone.
Jim_L, Aug 2024
From start to finish this was an excellent experience. Kind people organize everything well, from the booking to the guide out of the harbor to the refueling upon return. You will have complete freedom for eight hours to explore the coast. We found a terrific cove to anchor, enjoy the food and drink we brought, and swim. There are options to stop for lunch at several restaurants if that’s preferred. Other trips have left us wanting more time, but we couldn’t ask for a more perfect day. We will be booking a second day on our current trip because it was so wonderful.

This was by far the best part of our trip! I am someone that owns a boat but even if you don’t this group takes the boat out of the Harbor and gets you ready without hassle!
I was able to cruise the shoreline, swim, lounge ETC. At the end of the day I contacted Dominic (boat company)through Viator chat and a tender comes out drops a guy off and they drive directly over to the fueling station and you pay for exactly what you use! Read the fine print with other boat companies because they will charge flat rates for fuel that you don’t use!
I was able to drive the boat from Amalfi all the way to Capri (rock formations). Turn around and go as far as I think Cetera and than back to Amalfi. TOTAL cost $500 for 8 hours of heaven!

This was the highlight of our trip. We spent 3 weeks in Italy exploring top to bottom, but this experience takes the cake.
Dominic and his crew are very helpful and resourceful.
Easy to spot their stand near the beach and you are able to get on the boat immediately and get out on the water.
Dominic gave us a map and showed us some fantastic places to check out which we did and it couldn’t have gone better.
A huge reason I chose this experience over other boat rentals is that you get freedom. I have driven boats most of my life so I didn’t want to have someone driving us around and wanted to just spend time with my wife exploring the coast.
The pricing is also very good, we looked into many boat renting options and this one was the cheapest and gave the most freedom.
The only thing not included in the price is the gas for the boat. You are given a full tank to start and they top it off when you return and you pay for the fill up. We were out for maybe 5 hours and drove up and down from postitano and gas cost about ~35 euros. Not too bad for that amount of time.
If we come back we will be going right to Dominic and his crew for another rental!
Thank you so much for this experience.

A truly wonderful time. We were staying in Positano and this is in Amalfi so we had to take a ferry to Amalfi (15-30 min). We got to Amalfi a bit late (9:30AM) but it was no issue at all. Excellent communication with the company, super clean boat. They help you out of the marina and give you a small boating lesson and then you’re off to adventure! Got to see the beautiful almalfi coast up close, you have more than enough time to drive up and down as much as you’d like. There are lunch spots you can drive in the boat to and spots where you can anchor and relax in the water. Once in a lifetime experience.
Yipsi_R, Jun 2024
The boat service was excellent, we picked up the boat and the guys explained everything to us, took us to the boat and got it out of the marina for us. Once we arrived in Capri another guy parked the boat and took us to the dock and same when we left we picked us up at the dock in capri and took us to the boat. We never had to park the boat or look for anything everything is perfectly accommodated if you don’t have experience driving boats. 100% recommended this was our best day out of the 18 days we spent in Italy.
Madelyn_M, Jun 2024
We had such a wonderful experience. It was easy to find and so simple to get going. We absolutely loved spending the day on the boat.
Annabelle_D, Jun 2024
My partner and my parents had a wonderful time on the boat. Water was lovely and the boat was comfortable and a perfect day cruiser.
We stayed in Amalfi but wanted to visit Positano and this was the way to go.
Not only was it an easy transfer but the boat itself was clean, easy to drive and Dominico was helpful.
We had a great time and would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the waters of Amalfi coast.
Richard_M, Jun 2024
What an incredible day! A once in a lifetime experience - everything was perfect, we were assisted on and off the boat as well as the refuelling (which was reasonable at 70€) - Operating the boat was super simple even for a first timer. Do it!!
carolyn_C, Jun 2024
The guys getting us the boat were great. We didn’t have good weather so the waves were a little rough but it was our last day there so we went anyway. Booked a whole day but only went out for a few hours and couldn’t dock anywhere. Beautiful to see the coast
Jena_B, May 2024
From start to finish was perfect. We loved the boat, it was good size. The staff was very nice and provided us with all the necessary information to navigate the sea successfully. We would recommend this to others! It was a fantastic way to see the coastline and avoid the crowds. I was would recommend to anyone visiting.
thomas_r, May 2024
What a great experience. As an avide boater in the USA, this was the perfect day adventure. No international drivers licence required. Staff was probably the nicest, most helpful folks we dealt with during our whole trip. So easy to book and find. Truly the most beautiful views of the Amalfi coast are from the water. Domenico and Amalfi Marine are top picks for a great adventure. Thank you guys so much. ❤️🇮🇹🙏
TommyBrian_L, May 2024
Romantic day for two with a lunch along the coastline. The starting location was exactly as stated and the area was easy to navigate. The boat was spotless and the crew was very helpful. One tip: bring euro coins for the pay toilet at the marina. Enjoy a special day with those you love in the beautiful Amalfi Coast! It was a dream come true for us!
Zoe_H, May 2024
Such an amazing day out on the water, complete freedom with our boat and where we wanted to go, and so many beautiful spots to pull up for a swim. Loved it!
