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
- 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
- N4670RFallend0 contributionsBest trip in ItalyWhat an amazing trip. The crew was gracious, on time, lots of Prosecco and other drinks the entire trip. It was the highlight of the Italy trip. The entire trip had amazing scenery. Would do it again tomorrow.Written 29 September 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. The trip was relaxing and it was great to be out on the water away from the heat and the crowds. I would recommend Blue Star Boat Tours!Written 11 September 2024
- Brian T0 contributionsExactly what we were hoping forOur captain was very kind and accommodating. The coast was stunning. Would highly recommend this boat tour in Positano!Written 2 September 2024
- Wayne C0 contributionsWhat a great day!The Amalfi cost is truly breathtaking! The water is warm and crystal clean. The skipper did a superb job and far exceeded my expectations. An absolute must do for anyone who is considering this tour!Written 1 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
- RodFam50 contributionsIncredible location, great host/captain. One of the highlights of our family vacation!Having the boat to ourselves was fantastic. Pascuali was the perfect captain. There were snacks, plenty of cold drinks (including Prosecco & limoncello), shade and sun while on the boat and noodles and masks when we went swimming. Brief stop in Amalfi was great - got to check out the town a bit. The 4 hour tour was just the right amount of time. We were staying in Sorrento and it gave us plenty of time to catch the bus to Positano in the morning and have lunch there before the 1:30pm tour. Highly recommend!Written 13 August 2024
- evagN4930KM0 contributionsHighly recommend, amazing experienceAmazing!!! Only good things to say about this experience. I think this is the most fairly priced experience in all of Positano! Our captain Fiorenza was the best! So accommodating and honest about all the experiences along the way. I was a little hesitant about a group tour with people we don’t know but we had the best group! Highly highly recommend!Written 31 July 2024

This 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!

What an incredible experience! From the booking with Elisabeth to the service by our captain Francesco, everything was absolutely perfect. We are a family of four with two kids ages 10 and 12. Elisabeth (owner of the business) lead the booking process and communicated with us several times before our trip, including the night before, which was very helpful to ensure a smooth booking / prep experience. We did a full day trip plus added another two hours at the end of the day for sunset. Our boat was a 32 foot yacht named Sofia. There was food (fruits, bruschetta, etc) and drinks (waters, sodas, prosecco, aperol spritz, etc) served the entire day. We stopped at a small beach location where we had lunch at a restaurant that was also terrific. Francesco was an extremely attentive and knowledgeable captain and took care of everything for us throughout the entire day. He did so much you would have thought he had a twin on board. He asked what we wanted to do for the day, and then made the itinerary just for us based on our desires. We visited many places (beaches, swimming locations, grottos, etc) where we were the only ones there based on his knowledge of the area. He also shared places to visit, history, restaurant recommendations, etc. throughout our trip. Thank you Elisabeth and Francesco! Overall, we can’t recommend Blue Star enough if you’re staying on the Amalfi Coast.

We did a boat tour from Positano to Amalfi with Captain Sandro. This was a wonderful day trip highlighted by lunch at a restaurant only accessible by water. Captain Sandro made sure to stop at many scenic locations and tell us a bit about each one. Elizabeth and her team are a delight. They even sang an impromptu Happy Birthday for my husband when they discovered it was his special day while we were booking the trip. Don't miss out on a great day on the water with this group.

OMG this was beyond fabulous. While cruising on a beautiful boat with great friends and an awesome skipper, we sipped prosecco while marveling at the view of the Amalfi Coast. It was a smooth ride with the weather around 70-75 degrees. We stopped in Amalfi and got off the boat for an hour or so to tour around the city. When we got back on the boat we stopped at a restaurant on the coast you could only reach by boat. All the food was fresh catched fish and was amazing. Such a cool experience. Of all the things we did on the Amalfi coast, this ranked at the top. Blue Star does a great job and I would highly recommend this tour. It will not disappoint!

We were going to Capri on a ferry to Capri but it got cancelled last minute. Instead we spontaneously booked a private tour with blue star boat tours. What a happy ending as it ended up being our highlight of our trip. The boat was beautiful and we were met with smiles from everyone we met. We had the pleasure to have Carlo as our skipper, he was so service minded and took the best pictures. He served some yummy Prosecco and played good music while taking stops along the coast to tell us everything we would like to know about the history of the coast. It really was our highlight of the trip much thanks to Carlo!

All I can say is wow. We certainly felt like a king and queen during our honeymoon on our own massive 34 ft boat. Nicola, our captain, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and catered our itinerary to our exact needs. We did the full day private tour leaving from Amalfi and it was one of the best experiences of both of our lives. Swimming in a cave, visiting Positano for an amazing lunch, cruising the entire Amalfi coast at our leisure… what else could you ask for? Beer, Prosecco, soda, water, snacks - we had it all! Elisabeth was amazing with communication throughout and they conveniently have 3 different pick-up locations. Book now, you won’t regret it.

We had the most amazing day with a private half day tour. Our captain, Vincenzo, brought us to a few different places along the coast and took the time to point out different sites/towns. The boat was stunning as well.
Elisabeth was very responsive and helpful with our question in advance, and we ended up getting a larger boat than we originally booked. This was definitely one of the highlights of our Italy trip and we would highly recommend Blue Star!

We have used several boat tour companies on the Amalfi Coast and Elizabeth and Peppe’s company Bluestar by far has been the best. We were able to stop in many great spots for a swim and they made reservations for our lunch at a boat accessible only restaurant for us. Their saying you come as a client leave as family is so very true. We will 100% be booking with Bluestar again!
You haven’t seen the Amalfi coast until you see it from the sea!

This was the highlight of our trip to Italy!
It was very easy to set up with Elizabeth online. Our captain Gianfranco did an amazing job making our boat tour very special and personalized. I would highly recommend doing this in Positano. If you do private tour I would ask for Gianfranco.

I believe they do not charge you if they have to cancel due to weather. I had very good luck in emailing them questions and getting a prompt response. Elisabeth is great to repond and a joy to work with.
