“Our 3 boys (14, 12, 10) said this was the best day in our 2 week vacation in July. The weather was glorious and the rough waters added endless excitement for the children sitting outside on the front of the speedboat. They loved getting splashed. Cruising past the cliffs and mega yachts along the Amalfi coast is the only way to do it! We stopped twice for swims in beautiful peaceful locations (the water was warm and a deep blue color.

“The day went very smoothly. Hotel pick up was on time. Getting on the boat at the Port was well organised. Arrived at Capri to some stunning scenery and then given four hours of free time on the Island. There were a lot of steps up to the town which were a challenge, but the reward was some beautiful views. Then we spent the rest of our time on the beach. Plenty of restaurants along the beach front.I would thoroughly recommend this trip..”
