About this tour
Rent a skipper-free boat from Marina Grande and steer your own path along the Amalfi Coast. This 6–8 hour self-drive experience lets you navigate the limestone cliffs, secluded beaches, and fishing villages of southern Italy's most dramatic coastline at your own rhythm. You'll receive a full briefing on vessel operation before casting off into the crystalline Mediterranean.
Highlights
- Pilot your own boat—no skipper required
- Anchor at hidden coves inaccessible by land
- Explore Positano, Praiano, and smaller villages independently
- Well-maintained vessel with safety gear included
- Flexible itinerary—stay as long as you wish at each stop
- Briefing and guidance from experienced operator
- Empty icebox on board for provisions
What to expect
Arrive at Marina Grande with your passport ready. A staff member will walk you through the boat's controls, safety systems, and local navigation tips before you depart. You'll have full autonomy to chart your course—point toward Positano's pastel cliffside, drop anchor near Emerald Grotto, or find your own quiet inlet. The water is typically calm in summer, though conditions vary. Bring your own supplies; fuel is your responsibility. Most renters spend time swimming, snorkelling, and exploring villages by dinghy or on foot.
