Amalfi Coast Dream

Where Amalfi Coast Dream Operates

Amalfi Coast Dream is a private boat tour company based in Sorrento, Italy, that runs its own boats with its own captains on the Amalfi Coast and around Capri. The footer gives the company name as Amalfi Coast Dream Srl, with an address at Corso Italia 234 in Sorrento, and names Vittorio Cuomo as CEO and owner; the copyright line runs from 2013. The homepage headline is "Boat tours from Sorrento, Amalfi, Capri & Positano," and the tour menu is split into tours from Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Capri. The booking form also lists Napoli as a departure port, and the homepage's "Choose your destination" strip adds Ischia. Prices are shown in euros.

Every tour is exclusive hire. Each tour page carries the same note: "The boat tour is private," and "the captain and boat will be available for your exclusive use throughout the trip," with the option to customize the pace "as long as you stay within the timeframe and destinations that we visit."

Boats, Tours and Prices

The fleet menu lists 6 tour boats: an Italyure 38 ft, Gozzo 35 ft, Gozzo 30 ft, Gozzo 26 ft, Ranieri 22 ft and Barqa 20 ft. A separate yacht menu lists a Riva 86 ft, Azimut 62 ft, Princess 55 ft, Azimut Fly 53 ft, Lancia 52 ft and Riva 44 ft, with yacht charters shown "from 4500€." The menus also list multi-day 3-Day, 4-Day and 7-Day Cruises, a Day trip from Cruise Ship for passengers docking in port, and Tailor-Made tours.

The Amalfi Coast Tour is "a full-day private boat tour departing from Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi or Capri around 10:00 a.m.," shown from 800€. The itinerary runs past Regina Giovanna, Li Galli Island, hidden coves near Positano, Positano itself (with "free time (1-3 hours)"), Tordigliano Beach, the Fiordo di Crapolla, Nerano, Marina del Cantone and Punta Campanella, with swimming and snorkeling stops along the way. The page suggests "a seaside lunch in Nerano," which the captain can book.

The Capri Tour from Amalfi is "a full-day excursion departing around 10:00 a.m. from the main dock in Amalfi," shown from 700€. It cruises past Conca Dei Marini, Fiorde di Furore and Positano, then in Capri offers "the choice of visiting the iconic Blue Grotto (18€ per person paid on the spot)," swimming at the Green Grotto, "2-3 hours of free time" at Marina Piccola, and stops at the White Grotto and the Faraglioni rocks on the way back. The Amalfi Coast and Capri combined tour is shown from 950€.

The Sunset Tour from Amalfi is described as "a 1.5-2 hour excursion that departs in the evening time from the main dock in Amalfi Town," passing Positano, Arienzo Beach (with a swim stop), Praiano, the Fiordo di Furore, Conca dei Marini and Atrani. The Tours from Amalfi page shows it from 500€; the homepage separately lists a "2-hour Sunset Cruise along the Sorrento Coastline" from 350€. The page pitches it for proposals, with "professional photography and or flower package add-on available," anniversaries or an evening with friends, and starts with "a glass of complimentary prosecco."

What Is Included and What Costs Extra

Inclusions differ by tour, and the site lists them clearly. The Amalfi Coast Tour includes fuel and VAT, a "Bilingual Captain (English / Italian)," water, soft drinks and beer, all port fees, snorkeling gear, and towels and prosecco on the Gozzo boats and yachts only. Not included are the captain's gratuity and lunch at a restaurant.

The Capri Tour is different. It includes fuel and VAT, the bilingual captain, snorkeling gear, water and soft drinks, and towels and prosecco on Gozzo boats and yachts. It lists as not included "Port fees in Capri 100€," the "Blue Grotto entry ticket 18€," personal spending at restaurants or in port, and the captain's gratuity. The itinerary adds that "the Capri port fee can be waived if you dine in at a seaside restaurant reserved by your captain." The Sunset Tour includes port fees in Positano, snorkeling gear, water and soft drinks, and "Prosecco & Beers (only Gozzo & Yachts)," with only the gratuity excluded.

Every itinerary carries the same caveat: it "is subject to slight changes depending on the departure port, sea conditions, timing, and the captain's recommendations for the day."

Booking and Contact

Visitors can book online through an "Instant Booking" button or send a free quote request. The quote form asks for the number of guests (from 1 to "12+"), a phone number, month and date, departure port, tour type and a budget band ("Up to 1.200€," "1.200-3.000€," "3.000-5.000€" or "Over 5.000€"). The homepage invites visitors to "Book with an agent for great rates and customize your perfect tour at no extra cost," and advertises a "best price guarantee" and "100% Secure Payment." The Tours from Amalfi page says bookings are handled by "dedicated multilingual (English, Italian, Spanish, etc.) agents" and that the team is "always available for free consultations/planning." The office lists a phone line open Monday to Sunday, 9:00am to 11:00pm, an email address and a WhatsApp chat.

What the Site Leaves Open and Who It Suits

The site does not publish a cancellation or refund policy, and it does not say whether a deposit is taken or when the balance is due. The full-day tours give a 10:00 a.m. start but no return time. No boat's passenger capacity is stated, so it is not clear which boat fits a given group; the form's top option is simply "12+." The "from" prices do not say which boat they apply to, and the two different sunset prices on the homepage and the Amalfi page are not explained. The homepage links to an FAQ page that is not summarized on the tour pages, and there is nothing about accessibility, children or the season the boats run.

Amalfi Coast Dream suits couples, families and small groups who want a boat to themselves for a day on the Amalfi Coast or Capri, with swim stops and a captain who can book lunch. The inclusion lists are unusually specific, which makes it easy to work out the true cost of a Capri day once port fees and the Blue Grotto are added. Travelers after a shared, per-seat boat trip will not find one here; every tour is private hire.
