I AM GIOVANNI.

I was born and have always lived in Positano, a splendid corner of paradise of which I know every nook and corner and which, even today, enchants me with its landscapes and its colours.


On board a typical local wood gozzo, I will show you its most hidden corners illustrating its history and its legends, and I will let you know its the truest, simple and most genuine side.

Excursions

THE HEART OF THE COAST
Amalfi Coast

Full Day: 8 h • Half Day: 4 h

Starting from Positano, we will sail east until we reach the small village of Praiano and we will admire the spectacular beauty of the Fiordo di Furore.

We will pass by Capo di Conca and the small village of Conca dei Marini until we reach Amalfi, the ancient Marine Republic and historic heart of the Coast. The full day option includes disembarkation for a meal or to admire the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea

TRADITION AND LEGEND
Nerano, Li Galli

Full Day: 8 h • Half Day: 4 h

We will leave from Positano heading towards the small archipelago of Li Galli considered the residence of the mythological sirens and once the refuge of the pillars of dance Rudolf Nureyev and Lèonide Massine.

After we will reach Nerano, once a typical fishing village and today the culinary cradle of the Coast, right here in the full day option we will stop for the lunch.

THE ISLAND OF THE EMPERORS
Capri

Full Day: 8 h • Half Day: 4 h

Starting from Positano, we will sail towards Sorrento passing next to the Li Galli archipelago, and then admiring the scenic beauty of the peninsula including the protected marine area of the Bay of Ieranto and Punta Campanella. Our crossing to nearby Capri starts from this place, an island rich in history and scenic treasures.

They are the ones who welcome us, the Faraglioni, which have become iconic symbols of the island. The boat tour continues with an optional visit to the Blue Grotto, the White Grotto and the Green Grotto, we will then admire the Punta Carena Lighthouse and the numerous villas perched along the coast.

The tour includes a stop with disembarkation in Marina Grande, allowing you to visit the Piazzetta and via Camerelle, perfect for shopping; treat yourself to a meal by the sea or reach unique places such as Monte Solaro to admire Capri from above.

Easy Experience

PHOTO SHOOTING
Positano

Full Day: 1.30 h

The first light of the morning gives the Positano scenery an almost soft, warm and welcoming aspect…

so surreal as to seem heavenly: this is the perfect moment for a photo shooting off its coasts, the ideal time to create unique and indelible.

ROMANTIC EXPERIENCE
Positano

1.30 h

Positano changes continuously during the day, and always shows a new and always fascinating face: its most romantic aspect is certainly during the sunset, when the sea, the sky and the sun touch each other, coloring themselves with gold and the whole landscape “dresses evening”, giving you the perfect setting for your shots.

We had the most amazing day on Giovanni’s boat! It truly was the highlight of our trip to Italy! Giovanni was the best boat captain and host! He provided everything we needed to make our day on his boat absolutely perfect! The snacks, drinks, equipment and all the other little details that Giovanni provided made the time on his boat extra special! Giovanni has lived in the area his entire life and his knowledge of the Amalfi coast with its beauty and its history added so much richness to our day! We would highly recommend Giovanni and his boat tours to all who visit this area of Italy! We will definitely be booking Giovanni again on our next trip to Positano and the Amalfi coast! Thanks for everything Giovanni!!

Giovanni is a great captain and very knowledgeable on the area.  He even had some wine and snacks for our sunset cruise.
We saw the beautiful coast line from the sea which gives you another perspective.
I would definitely recommend Giovanni for a fantastic boat tour.

This is the ONLY tour you should book! Giovanni is a Positano native. He is the best guide providing history, stories, and great company. He has a beautiful boat with lots of room to lounge as well as a covered area for relaxation (even an area to rest) and bathroom. There are drinks and snacks. We stopped to take in the view and swim throughout our tour. We relaxed, laughed, and saw unique local sights. This was literally the highlight of our anniversary trip to Positano. We took a small group tour with another company  and it doesn’t even compare to this amazing experience. It was worth every penny. You are not just getting a boat ride but a full  experience  you will treasure and never forget. Giovanni goes above and beyond to make your trip the best ever. He personally ensures everything is perfect and knows the area because he has lived his entire life here. It’s like having an Italian family member who wants to make sure you have the best experience. Do not hesitate to book this tour. It is the captain who makes the entire experience and no one is better than Giovanni.  I spent a lot of time researching and am so happy we choose this private Amalfi tour.

This is by far the best boat tour of Positano/ Amalfi coast you will get. Giovanni is the man. He provides snacks and booze, takes pictures, and gives the best info about all the spots in the area. He is a Positano local and has great energy! Would give 10 stars if I could.

Giovanni was excellent. His service was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable on the history while keeping us entertained with humor. I would 100% recommend Gionvanni and Barracuda again!

We booked a tour with Giovanni on the Barracuda
We spent the day with him touring the local islands, amalfi coast line and snorkeling the crystal clear waters, eating in a cafe only accessible by boat.
His multi generational history on The Amalfi coast gives him an understanding and perspective not typical of the more commercial operations.

We ended the day feeling like we had spent the day with our Italian cousin

Highly recommend, big boat alternative
