Attended both Francesco's Tours, along Amalfi and up to Capri. Both were phenomenal and I would recommend to anyone, whether you are wanting to swim/relax/eat/drink/sightsee/travel in style.

Absolutely amazing. Myself and 5 friends went out with Francesco twice on our week long holiday to Seiano. Both trips were brilliant. The crew are very friendly and helpful. The snacks and drinks onboard were tasty and filling. The trip itself was amazing, absolutely gorgeous scenery and stops. The swimming was fantastic. Overall everyone really enjoyed themselves and if we are ever back in this part of Italy we will definitely be going on this tour again.

Fantastic day charter. They picked us up from our nearest port, took us to lots of little swimming spots on the way to Positano where we quickly got off for an ice cream. Fruit and drinks provided. It was like a mini tour with our skipper giving us snippets of history and fun facts along the route. Amazing boat skills too - he got us right up to the caves and the bridge. Really great day, it was our favourite day of the holiday.

Matteo and Tom were excellent. Very accommodating, caring and flexible with plans. Boat was in excellent shape and they showed us all the best spots around capri and the Amalfi coast. They were very knowledgeable about the history and the sites. Drinks, snacks, and fruit platter were delicious. Very grateful that they also provided towels. 10/10. I would use them again when I come back to the Amalfi coast.

Sensational day on the water with Giovanni. You get so much more out of your cruise when being guided by a true local. Giovanni seems to know every town, villa, luxury hotel, bay, grotto, swimming spot and rock formation up and down the Amalfi coast- and has an interesting story about them all. The boat was super comfortable. Ice cold refreshments supplied. Could not recommend highly enough.

The day on the boat with Renato was amazing. Seeing the Amalfi coast by water is simply the best way to see this area as well as hidden gems. The boat was great (bigger than we even expected), and Renato, a local of Positano know all of the hidden spots to take us to. Highly recommend.
