About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- KristenDallas140 contributionsA MUST book!If you’re traveling to Positano and have any desire to be on the water for the day and explore more of the coast, I HIGHLY recommend this tour! My best friend and I just took a trip to Italy and we both agreed our boat tour was one of our favorite things we did. We had Skye and Nicolino as our captain and guide and they were wonderful!!! We got to swim a couple times, stop at Amalfi to shop in the city and went to lunch at a restaurant you can only get to by boat. 10/10 experience!!! 🤍🤍🤍Written 27 October 2024
- M119IQlaurat0 contributionsThe best day in Positano!We really enjoyed our day with Carlo! He was very attentive, friendly and positive! This tour was a great way to see the Amalfi coast from sea and it was worth every penny! Thank you Pepe and Carlo!Written 25 October 2024
- dorothyr9410 contributionsBest boat tour we’ve ever takenThis was hands down the best day trip and boat tour we have ever taken in many places around the world. Our skipper Carlos and first mate Skye were spectacular in every way, making us feel welcome, comfortable and offering a convivial fun experience throughout the day. We recommend only staying in Amalfi for one hour and opting for the special lunch experience at a beachside restaurant. Our late October excursion still afforded beautiful weather and swimmable waters. We also opted for the Emerald Grotto tour. A special encore was a school of dolphins escorting us home. Gracie Mille to Skye and Carlos for a perfect day!Written 22 October 2024
- robpY1911GS0 contributionsA must do in Positano!Highly recommend this tour! We got lucky with perfect weather which was amazing when visiting all the swimming spots. Our captain, Carlo, was really great, taking the time to explain various landmarks and was really personable. A must do in Positano!Written 14 October 2024
- J4623FTkathym0 contributionsAmalfi MUST do!Stunning coastline and an absolute wonderful day. I highly recommend this tour. Our captain was Franscesco and he treated us well and knew his stuff.Written 5 October 2024
- fdfieldfam0 contributionsPhenomenal sunset boat trip!Bluestar is the best! We had a full day trip planned, but unfortunately the weather turned very bad that day and it was cancelled. Elizabeth stayed in touch with us continuously and we were able to rebook a sunset cruise a few days later that was the highlight of our two week Italian vacation! Carlo was our captain, and he made the trip so much fun and so memorable! He showed us several beautiful spots along the coast, and then headed back to watch the sunset over Positano. He told us stories and shared history of the area. It was simply breathtaking! Book with Bluestar!Written 22 September 2024
- Michael G0 contributionsBest Trip EverThis was a fantastic excursion. Company was phenomenal, offering full refund just hours before because of potential bad weather. Carlo was the best guide ever!!!!!!! Met some great people. Would highly recommend!Written 19 September 2024

- Adeen V0 contributionsWorth every pennyWorth every penny. The views from the boat ride are just spectacular. It feels like a dream. We stopped many places for a swim (they provide noodles for swimming and you can ask for masks as well) we never felt rushed at any of our swim spots or when we got off for lunch and to visit Amalfi.Written 11 September 2024
- O8539MPpatriciat0 contributionsBeautiful views and escape from the heat!The staff were friendly and responsive. The snacks and drinks offered onboard were much appreciated.

- ziting z0 contributionsGreat day at seaWe did half day + sunset tour from positano to amalfi coast. This is absolutely highlight of our trip! The water is crystal clear and warm. The entire boat ride we had scenic views. Our skipper Giofranco is the best. He’s very nice and welcoming. He showed us a lot of good scenic views and made a few stops for swimming. The trip was customized to our interests. Totally love it! Highly recommendWritten 3 September 2024

- drblues90 contributionsA must do adventure in Positano.The small group tour of the Amalfi coast was one of the highlights of our whole summer in Italy. Carlo was helpful, informative, and humorous. His music choice aboard his boat was wonderful. The lunch was excellent, and Carlo seemed to know when everyone needed a dip in the sea. I highly recommend the blue star boat tours.Written 26 August 2024
- Matthew R0 contributionsPerfect day on Amalfi coastOur captain Gianfranco was absolutely amazing! He showed us all of the amazing parts of the Amalfi coast and was extremely knowledgeable. Gianfranco ensured we were comfortable everywhere along the coastline and took us to a perfect restaurant for lunch near Amalfi. The boat was extremely comfortable and after a month in Italy today was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend doing the private tour for the flexibility to swim and eat where you like.Written 19 August 2024

What a wonderful experience! We booked a private boat charter for the full day and it was one of our favorite things we did while in Italy. Francesco, our captain, did an excellent job telling us about all of the history of what we passed by. He made us delicious snacks and drinks for the day and set up our lunch in Capri. 10/10 stars for the boat and staff. Highly recommend booking your boat tour with them!
Thanks Francesco, we’ll see you next time we’re in Italy! Let us know if you make it to Austin. La mia casa è la tua casa!

We had an excellent experience with Elizabeth and Blue Star Positano. Our private boat trip did not go off as planned and Elizabeth personally went above and beyond to ensure that our family had an amazing boating experience. Definitely top notch customer service. We would not hesitate to recommend Blue Star Boating tours!

Comfortable way to see Capri and Amalfi coast. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I would recommend it to all. Sandro our captain was excellent, took us to amazing places we never would have known of. The 36 ft boat was very comfortable and smooth.

Our first tour with Blue Star and it was a highlight of our stay in Positano. Easy booking experience and Elizabeth and her team were very helpful directing us to our boat on the tour day. Our captain, Francesco, entertained us all day with his rich knowledge of the area. Of course it helped that we had perfect weather for a day boating. Loved the nibbles and glass of Prosecco, beer, and Limoncello too. The boat was elegant, clean
and comfortable. Wonderful day swimming, sightseeing and making new friends. Perfect.

My girlfriends and I had the BEST day on our private tour to Capri from Positano! We were a little worried at first because the weather was a bit unpredictable. But the day of our boat tour was PERFECT! We had a large, beautiful boat for the six of us and it was like living in a different world. The boat had everything we needed: fruit, snacks, Prosecco, Wine, beer, toilet, shower, etc. The captain, Francesco, was so sweet and took us to all the cool grottos. And he even gave us a little history on specific spots along the coast. I will always remember this day with my closest friends. If you're visiting the Amalfi Coast...the is the best way to see it :)

Had an amazing day on the boat with Alessio. He took us all around the Isle of Capri, took us into little grottos, we swam in grottos. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was very nice-they upgraded our boat at no extra charge because it was available. We booked this online, sight unseen but the company is great-they are right there on the beach in Positano, easy to find and completely friendly and professional to deal with. Would book with them again without hesitation.

We took the full day trip to Capri from Positano. It was fine. It was also $1200 for the day so fine ain't what we expected.
Reading reviews I was excited about the "above and beyond" service. We recieved fine service, nothing special. Angelo was nice and a good naviagtor. We didn't recieve snacks (I LOVE SNACKS) but were offered beverages and they were cold, so that was good. The boat also had trash on it, bummer. He suggested we speed to Capri to avoid huge crowds, which was helpful. If you do go to Capri, unless you love to shop at designer shops, you won't need much time there. Also if you can, AVOID Fridays in Capri as the Cruise Ships visit on that day.
Again nothing hugely "wrong" per say but I would say shop around, the value does not match the price.

We did the private boat tour (roughly a group of 10) to Capri and had a great time. Skye and Luigi were our crew and they were both incredible. It was nice to stop and swim, see some sites, and have some snacks and drinks on the trip. Highly recommend.

We were a group of 12 people who booked a Capri private boat tour from Positano. This was by far the highlight of our week-long trip to Amalfi. Our captain, Roberto and his mate Luca became instant friends and went out of their way to provide a memorable experience for all of us. Seeing the coast by land is an awesome sight, but seeing it by boat is absolutely mesmerizing. We had to keep reminding ourselves that we were not dreaming!
My sincere advice is, if you can only plan one outing while you are visiting, make it a boat trip with Blue Star!

We went out 2 days with Blue Star, one day on the Amalfi Coast and the other to Capri. First of all Elisabeth was fantastic to book with; she was so responsive and set up up perfectly. Our captain for both days was Roberto and he was awesome. He customized both days to what our family wanted to do and was so great with my kids. We stayed a week in Positano and the best thing all of us did were the 2 days on the boat. Highly recommend for anyone in the area

How long was the duration of the cruise? Starts at 10am and goes until when? Thanks!
Written 21 June 2019
We paid for some extra hours at the end so we would have the sunset, and arrived back after dark, but otherwise I think it was like 6 hours.
