Drift leisurely along the southern Italian coast, marveling at the dramatic views. Travel by the whitewashed fishing village of Praiano, the narrow cove of the Furore fjord and Conca dei Marini, home to the shimmering green waters of the Emerald Grotto sea cave (entance depends on the wind situation). Stop intermittently to swim and snorkel, then enjoy free time in Amalfi or go up to Ravello (calculate 30min bus ride oneway). With a maximum of 12 people on board, you’ll enjoy an intimate experience. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Our Info desk "Bluestar Boat Tours" is… - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Max 12 people: small group - Starts 09:30: one departure a day - Food included: 1 drink on board (soda or mineral water) - Strollers OK: infants accepted ## Key facts - Price: from €110 per person - Duration: 7h - Rating: 4.94/5 from 781 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 99% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Blue Star Positano ## What's included - 1 drink on board (soda or mineral water) - Transport by boat - Use of snorkeling masks (no tube) - Professional skipper ## Not included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Food and drinks, unless specified - Admission to Emerald Grotto (approx. 10 euros) - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Blue Star Boat Tours** (10m) - Starting Point for Check In 2. **Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto)** (30m) - Lovley little cave with emerald green reflection of the water Entrance fee per person ca. 6€ ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 09:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-29 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Our Info desk "Bluestar Boat Tours" is opposite the Restaurant Chez Black - Main Beach Positano Spiaggia Grande Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJlWLr4GiXOxMRtPgSyhUmr_E ## Good to know - Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller - Service animals allowed - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - The minimum age to drink alcohol in Italy is 16 years; ID may be required - It is recommended that you bring along appropriate clothing (shorts, sunscreen, swimwear, etc.) - Important Information Regarding Separate Bookings - Please note that if you make separate bookings in order to pay with different credit cards, we cannot guarantee that all passengers will be placed on the same boat.
