The communication of pick up was very clear. We had bad weather and they worked to find a different day with better conditions. The captain was an excellent driver. The boat was new and in great condition. It was called Why Not. The views from the water were stunning. Capri is amazing.

This was the best day of our vacation! Boat was beautiful and clean (with both sun and shade), the crew was amazing, and we had the absolute best time going to swim around Capri and Positano and even stopping in Positano for lunch and a walk around. Amazing drinks and snacks on board exactly when we wanted them. We even had homemade aperol spritz’s! Exclusive Cruises was also super responsive and helpful coordinating our plan ahead of time. 100% book with them! We can’t wait to come back and do it all again :)

Highly recommend! Incredible way to spend a day experiencing beautiful Amalfi and Capri. Our guide, Roberto, was fantastic - knowledgeable, fun, and made the trip exceptional. He made lunch reservations for us on Capri and took us to all the ideal spots to jump in and swim.

Nando and Francesco were fantastic. The boat had everything we needed and we got a free boat upgrade. We were originally in a 28/32 but Nando picked us up in a 40 footer and said the company upgrades clients regularly when there is a boat available. Once in a lifetime experience with beautiful scenery and the food in Capri was also fantastic.

My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn’t be happier. Ignacio was our Skipper and he did a fantastic job of explaining some of the history of the Amalfi coast and taking us to the grottos. He was very attentive and thoughtful. 100% worth it!

Amazing day on the water. Great skipper in Ignazio! Lot’s of beautiful sights and great historical stories to add to the experience!

We had a good day but felt a bit let down. Given the price we'd paid and the photos on the listing we expected a much nicer boat with some facilities. We'd also done a cheaper but slightly shorter at Cinque Terre and had a much nicer boat with nicer food. We got told at midnight the night before by text that we were getting an open deck boat. Maybe that's what I booked but it really wasn't clear from the listing. My family and I were pretty disappointed with what showed up. So our expectations were not really met and then with a bit of rough weather (not their fault) but it just made the start unpleasant. Willie was a good enough captain though he smoked on the boat and I didn't like that with kids. Also, they had poor facilities. There were 5 of us and only 3 noodles and one set of googles. No snorkles. The towels didn't seem super clean either. Despite all that, once we got through the rough weather we got to an amazing beach and loved swimming there. We got dropped off at Positano but got told to tip the people who took us into shore despite the listing showing all fees covered. The ride back was nicer with calmer waters. So, maybe that's what you need to pay but it would have been easy to make it clear by putting a picture of the boat in the listing so it's clear.

We had an amazing day! Rico our captain was the perfect host, he was safe, knowledgeable and catered to us we enjoyed his company too…my 15 and 18 boys said it was one of the best days we have ever had..on any vacation! Seeing the coast and Capri from this perspective is a must, we had seen them on on land but this was very different and so worth it. My son left his sunglasses and somehow Rico got them to a friend that worked at our hotel, we did not even realize he had left them…amazing service. My husband enjoyed him so much that we invited Rico to come visit us in the states and come to our lake…LOL. A perfect family day.

Pickup at the port of sorrento was seamless - whatsapp was very helpful TO get in touch with the captain. The scheduled uses an iphone so watch out for texts/phone calls from a +39 331 number - she will likely text/call a few days before hand and definitely the day before to make sure you know where you are going! Pickup from the shore to the huge boat was seamless! Perfect sunny day for a boat trip - once we got out of the harbor the captain proposed an itinerary (straight to positano - drop off and explore for an hour, back on the boat to grab lunch on a water side restaurant, speed over to capri to do blue grotto, back to sorrento) which turned out to be perfect! We brought our own Prosecco but there was Peroni, Coke, Bottled flat and sparking water, there were plastic cups and a nice heavy wooden serving tray. Exploring Positano was fun - lots of stairs and crowds but putting feet in the water right after waiting for the pickup was refreshing. Lunch at a seaside restaurant (which you had to take a smaller boat to get to) was fun! Food came out fast! Getting to Capri after that was fun given that the captain had to speed up (hold on to your hats!) - got to see the blue grotto: the smaller boat/oarsmen were pushy about tips even after the per head ticket was given at the start of the tour. They take you into the cave in small boats - its pretty dark in there except the water, you are in there for maybe 5-10 minutes before they take you out again. Captain also showed us the famous straights and the love arch and went through and took pictures! Easy trip back to sorrento port - best day of the trip!

This was the best trip we have ever done - ever. I really can’t properly express in words how amazing this trip was. The communication and organisation from the start was amazing, phone calls and messages from the Captain on the day, smooth pick up- everything was amazing. Speaking of our Captain- Francesco- he was extremely knowledgeable, gracious and very welcoming. We have two daughters, one of which has cerebral palsy and she was nervous about what was a very different experience for her but Francesco put her at ease straight away. He pointed out all the main sights and gave us a lot of insider knowledge of the places we were seeing. We had fabulous drinks and snack plates on board and a platter of fresh fruit. We were taken to a beach side restaurant for lunch. The boat is very luxurious with full padded deck up front to relax on and plenty of opportunity for swimming. A totally unforgettable day and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again next time we are in Sorrento.
