Premium Boat Charter was recommended to us by the agent who helped us book our villa accommodations in the town of Amalfi. I reached out for Carmen by email and because it appeared that her response back to me had not been received by me (since I tried a few times after that initial email), she personally called me from Amalfi to the USA! We then resolved the email issues that were on my end, and she consistently was responsive and went above and beyond to be helpful in booking our private boat charter. Traveling as two couples, we had decided to splurge a bit and booked the 43-foot yacht for a full-day excursion. We launched directly from the marina in Amalfi. Our English-speaking captain David Anastasio was just wonderful in so many ways, and a nice relationship with him blossomed throughout the day. He pointed out interesting information throughout our journey along the stunningly beautiful coast. We appreciated the plentiful sparkling wine, beer, wine, soft drinks and water that he served and/or were available to us during the day along with nuts and other snacks. David layed out and offered plenty of towels, and the on-board toilet came in handy when needed. He took us in or by numerous grottos allowing us to touch the rock overhead where possible, snapping photos of us along the way, and suggesting we jump in the amazingly blue waters in one spot that was the most memorable time of our Amalfi holiday! He offered to let us disembark at times along the way (Positano and Capri) but suggested perhaps we bypass these more touristy spots and took us to Nerano to La Conca del Sogno for the best lunch we enjoyed during our week in Italy (see my separate Trip Advisor review of this restaurant). We never regretted this decision and loved this recommendation as much as the day-long boat ride. When we asked to take a post-lunch dip near a beach, he easily provided such an experience complete with floatation noodles. It was bittersweet to have this day end despite knowing we could enjoy other experiences on the Amalfi Coast. This private boat charter overall was indeed the absolute highlight of our time on Amalfi! Thank you, David and Carmen!
