Overview
Explore the Amalfi Coast on a private boat tour departing from Sorrento, Positano or Naples. Cruise along one of Italy’s most iconic coastlines aboard a traditional gozzo with your own English-speaking skipper. Admire dramatic cliffs, colorful villages and hidden coves that can only be reached by sea. During the cruise you will pass some of the most famous sights of the Amalfi Coast, including the Li Galli islands, the picturesque Fiordo di Furore and charming fishing villages nestled along the coastline. Your captain can stop in beautiful bays where you can swim in clear turquoise waters and relax away from the crowded beaches. You will also have free time to explore Positano and Amalfi at your own pace. This private experience offers a flexible itinerary that can be adapted to your preferences. You may also stop for lunch at a local seaside restaurant and enjoy a relaxing day discovering the Amalfi Coast from the best perspective — the sea.
