About this tour
Spend 6–7 hours aboard a private boat tracing the Amalfi Coast's dramatic shoreline. You'll glide past Positano's stacked pastel villages, slip into sea caves, and anchor in turquoise coves for swimming and snorkelling. The boat stocks prosecco, limoncello, beer, and light snacks throughout—no need to leave the water's edge for refreshment. A relaxed, unhurried way to see the coast's medieval towns and geology without the crowds ashore.
Highlights
- Positano's cliff-hugging buildings up close from the water
- Hidden caves and rock formations along the coastline
- Swim and snorkel in sheltered bays with clear visibility
- Prosecco and limoncello served on board
- UNESCO-listed Amalfi's ancient port and architecture
- Snorkelling gear supplied; no extra hire needed
What to expect
You'll board in the morning and motor slowly eastward, stopping frequently to soak in views and anchor for water time. Positano appears almost impossibly steep from sea level—pastel houses seem to tumble into the Mediterranean. The skipper knows quieter coves where you can jump in, mask and fins already waiting. Bring a book for the calm stretches; there's no rushing between spots. Amalfi's waterfront reveals medieval arches and working fishing boats. Drinks flow throughout rather than at set times, so pace yourself. The boat returns you by late afternoon, salt-dried and thoroughly lazy.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and reapply often—reflection off water intensifies UV. Light layers help; it's cooler on the water than ashore. Snorkelling is optional; the gear is there if you want it. Infants sit on laps; toddlers can use a pram to board. Gratuities aren't included in the price.
