What's included in the half-day cruise?

Your ticket covers the 4-hour boat journey, swimming stop at Bay of Conca, and round-trip transport between Maiori and Positano. Free time in Positano (approximately 1 hour) is included, but meals, drinks, and shopping are separate.

Is the boat suitable for families with young children?

Yes, the Gozzo Sorrentino is a small traditional boat ideal for families. However, there are no life jackets or dedicated children's facilities mentioned; confirm safety provisions with the operator when booking, especially if your children are non-swimmers.

Can I get a refund if the weather is poor?

Refund and cancellation policies vary by operator. High waves or storms may lead to cancellation; check the specific terms of your booking. Many operators offer rescheduling to another date.

How deep is the water at Bay of Conca, and is it safe for non-swimmers?

The exact depth isn't specified in the itinerary. Given it's an open Mediterranean bay with a rocky or pebbly shoreline, non-swimmers should wear a life jacket or stay in shallow water. Ask your operator about depth and sea conditions on your booking date.

What should I expect during the Positano free time?

You'll have roughly 1 hour to explore on your own. This is enough time to stroll Positano's narrow, colorful streets, visit boutique shops, or enjoy a quick espresso or gelato. Most restaurants require longer than an hour for a sit-down meal.

Are there small dogs on the boat, and what should I know?

The supplier notes that small dogs may be present on board. If you have allergies or concerns, inform the operator at booking so they can flag this or seat you appropriately.
