This was a great trip! Everything was right on time from the pick up in Positano to the return home. Our captain and first mate were excellent ! I wish I could remember their names. It was the perfect amount of time on the water and on the Island of Capri. We were served champagne, snacks, sandwiches and limoncello!!!!!! Couldn’t ask for any more or better company! Thank you for making this trip so much fun! Kim & Harold

An excellent trip to enjoy the sea and have city visit. You are collected in Naples then escorted to the sea. You have a sort of stops in two excellent little towns (Amalfi and Positano) to have a taste of this region as well as there is an opportunity to have a swim in the middle of the sea. Honestly, I really enjoyed the trip with our excellent guides. I would love to take it again. I did this tour in Aug/2022
