Jackboats is a boat rental and private tour operator based in Amalfi, Campania. The company offers self-drive rentals and private guided tours that showcase the Amalfi Coast and nearby Capri.
Self-drive rentals let guests pilot eight- or four-hour trips along the coast, stopping at hidden beaches, coves and coastal villages such as Positano. For guests preferring guided experiences, Jackboats operates a private half day tour (four hours) with a captain who shares local stories while guests enjoy appetizers and drinks and sights like the Emerald Grotto.
Full day options include an eight-hour Amalfi Coast tour and an eight-hour Amalfi Coast and Capri tour. The Capri itinerary provides time to visit the Blue Grotto, swim in secluded grottoes, and explore the island independently. The Amalfi full day tour focuses on beaches, villages, and coastal history, with stops for swimming and photo opportunities.
Jackboats provides flexible itineraries from Amalfi and accommodates groups seeking relaxation, sightseeing, or swimming. Captains and sailors mentioned in tour descriptions bring local knowledge about landmarks, routes and hidden spots along the coast. Reservations are required for some private tours.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Jackboats appeals to travelers who want either hands-on self-driving or private guided maritime experiences on the Amalfi Coast. The operator’s range of four- and eight-hour trips makes it suitable for short excursions or full-day explorations.
