What you get for it is a boat with a stereo, a fridge, an ice box and a shower, plus swimming breaks on anchor whenever you want them rather than on the skipper's schedule. The drawback is that this is purely a cruise with swim stops, not a town visit, so pair it with a separate Amalfi or Positano walk if you want time ashore too. This **private Amalfi Coast boat tour** departs from Positano and reserves the entire boat for your group for 4 hours, with swimming breaks whenever you choose and a close pass by the Emerald Grotto, from EUR 680 for the private charter with Sea Boat & You Charter. ## What does "private" mean on this Amalfi Coast boat tour? Unlike the shared-group cruises on this coast, which run on a fixed schedule with other travelers on board, this tour reserves the entire boat for your party alone. The EUR 680 price is for the boat and crew, not per person, which means the per-head cost drops sharply the bigger your group is. A couple paying this alone is paying a premium for privacy; a group of six or more splitting it ends up close to what a shared tour would cost, with the whole boat to themselves. ## What does a private Amalfi Coast boat tour actually give you? Beyond having no other guests on board, the practical difference is control over the schedule. Swimming breaks happen on anchor whenever your group wants one, rather than at fixed points the skipper has already planned for a full boat of strangers. The boat itself is set up for a relaxed day: a stereo for music, a fridge and ice box for keeping drinks cold, a shower for rinsing off, and an onboard toilet, none of which every shared boat on this coast offers as standard. ## What happens during the 4 hours? After departing Positano, the boat cruises along the coastline toward Praiano, with a close pass by the Emerald Grotto for a look at the cave's distinctive green light. The skipper stops on anchor for swimming whenever your group is ready, with a snorkeling mask, life jacket and beach towel provided for each guest, and prosecco, soft drinks and snacks served throughout. A second swim break typically follows before the return cruise to Positano. ## Is the private charter worth the price over a shared tour? If your group is large enough to split the EUR 680 reasonably, yes. It beats a shared tour on comfort and flexibility alone, since you are not sharing the boat's shade, the swim stops or the skipper's attention with strangers. For a solo traveler, a couple, or a small group of two or three, a shared tour like the [flexible-port Amalfi Coast boat tour](https://chartersamalfi.com/amalfi-coast-boat-tour/) delivers most of the same scenery and swimming for a fraction of the per-person cost. ## What does the price include? EUR 680 covers the boat, the skipper, prosecco, soft drinks and snacks, snorkeling masks, life jackets, beach towels, fuel, and use of the stereo, fridge, ice box, toilet and shower on board. It does not include a meal ashore, so plan to eat before or after the charter rather than during it. ## Who should book this tour? This is the right call for a celebration, a family gathering, or any group large enough to make the per-person cost reasonable, especially if privacy and a flexible schedule matter more to you than price. It is not the most efficient choice for a solo traveler or a couple on a tighter budget, who will get more value from a shared boat tour. ## Getting to the meeting point The boarding platform is on Positano's main beach; the operator sends the exact location by WhatsApp if needed once you arrive. ## Insider tips for this tour Agree on a rough plan for swim stops with your group before boarding, since the flexibility of a private charter only pays off if everyone actually uses it rather than defaulting to whatever the skipper suggests. Bring your own playlist if you want music from the boat's stereo rather than whatever is already loaded. ## How does this compare to other Amalfi Coast boat tours? For a shared-group version of a similar swim-and-sightsee day at a much lower per-person cost, see the [Positano boat tour](https://chartersamalfi.com/positano-amalfi-boat-tour/), which departs from the same town.
