Private Yacht in Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Capri | Gianetti 45 Sport ref. 2023
Loved Roberto! I didn't know what to expect when we booked. But Roberto and his deck hand took us to every amazingly beautiful and secluded and local spot along the coast! Grottos to swim through, cave exploring, the best beach club accessible only by boat... truly a wonderful experience! Thanks guys! (Ps - they even provide noodles for the weaker swimmers).

Alessandro was amazing! We had a group of 11 guys who all had an absolute blast on the boat. The boat was even more beautiful than in the pictures and was extremely comfortable for our large group, we even had extra room! Alessandro was very helpful and accommodated all of our requests such as changing our pick up and drop off points, making us reservations for lunch, and showing us cool spots around the coast including beautiful caves to swim in and cliffs to jump from! Could not have asked for a better experience!!

Had a blast with Matko and his crew. They were attentive, on time and strived to provide the highest service. Appreciated the great recommendations & flexibility to offer an experience our group of 6 could all enjoy. By the end of the trip we all felt like family. Do not hesitate to book with Matko! We will again soon.

We had the best day with Matko and Tony - they were wonderful hosts! They picked us up at our hotel and we had a great time swimming and exploring at Lokrum island, Blue Cave and for a gorgeous lunch on Lopud island - gorgeous swim spots and the boat had lovely indoor and outdoor seating areas and Matko and Tony were equipped with drinks and appetizers and had life jackets and flippers /masks for all of us and the kids. All around great experience - highly recommend!

SEA LIVING POSITANO AMALFI COAST TOUR
We unfortunately had our booking pushed a day due to sea conditions, despite it being windy both days. Unfortunately we only had a photographer booked for our wedding day the first day, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our evening on the boat when we were able to make it out on the water. Andrea, our captain, was a splendid host and offered information on the Amalfi coast as we passed by towns but also gave us space and time to enjoy the sights at the front of the boat. The boat itself was absolutely beautiful!

Matko and his co-captain were wonderful hosts. They planned a great itinerary and made it an unforgettable day at sea! Excellent communication and extremely accommodating when booking the charter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you sleep in a houseboat?
Yes, you can sleep overnight on the water with a houseboat rental. Houseboats are great options for people who love being on the water - because you can combine your love for boating with your accommodation on a vacation. Houseboat sizes and amenities range drastically, but you can find many modest houseboats with one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen onboard.
Is driving a houseboat hard?
If you can drive a car safely, you can definitely learn how to drive a houseboat. If you are renting a houseboat for the first time, make sure you get an orientation from the owner or rental company before you cruise out from the docks. The main difference is that there are no brakes on a houseboat, so the only way to slow the boat is to release the throttle slowly and always be looking far ahead to avoid any obstacles when navigating. Make sure you bring a valid driver’s license when renting a houseboat.
Which state has the best houseboat rentals?
There are many lakes across the country that offer incredible houseboating opportunities. Some of the best lakes for a houseboat rental include Lake Lanier in Georgia, Lake Vermillion in Minnesota, Lake Powell in Arizona, and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.
How much are houseboat rentals?
Pricing for houseboat rentals starts around $200/night, but can range anywhere from $200 to over $1000 per night, depending on the location and the size of the vessel. If you are renting a large houseboat to accommodate many people, the cost will be more but it could be cheaper once you split with everyone onboard. Houseboats are a fun way to combine an activity like boating with your accommodation, which is sometimes a cheaper way to experience both instead of booking a vacation rental AND a boat rental. Plus, who doesn’t love to sleep on the water? Browse thousands of houseboat rentals on Getmyboat and book one right on your phone with the mobile app.

This will show you all the boats available with sleeping quarters that you can rent in that location. Find the best houseboat to rent with Getmyboat, on the desktop site or on the mobile app.
