About the experience

A boat trip along the Amalfi Coast is an experience that enchants the senses, a succession of spectacular views, turquoise waters and villages nestled among the rocks. Sailing gently aboard a typical Sorrento gozzo, we will let ourselves be lulled by the sea, exploring the treasures of this extraordinary coast.

Starting from Amalfi, an ancient Maritime Republic, the journey begins among its white houses perched on the rocks, the majestic Cathedral of Sant'Andrea and the picturesque streets that tell centuries of history. A little further on, the village of Atrani fascinates us with its authentic beauty, a maze of narrow streets and arches hidden among the cliffs.

Continuing along the coast, we glimpse the spectacular Marmorata waterfall, a jet of fresh water that plunges directly into the sea, creating a unique contrast between the green of the vegetation and the crystalline blue of the water. Shortly after, we encounter the coast below Ravello, famous for its panoramic gardens and villas suspended between the sky and the sea.

The navigation continues towards the picturesque bay of Conca dei Marini, framed by exclusive villas such as those of the Chandon and Agnelli families. Here, we can admire the famous seaside restaurant "La Tonnarella", where the scent of traditional cuisine mixes with the sea breeze. Not far away, you can see the villa of Carlo Ponti and Sofia Loren, a symbol of Italian elegance and charm.

One of the most spectacular places along the route is undoubtedly the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow inlet enclosed between imposing rock walls, where the sea takes on emerald hues. A small fishing village rises hidden among the rocks, offering a timeless atmosphere.

After passing the fjord, the coast opens onto Praiano, with its two sides: to the west, the splendid Cala La Gavitella, exposed to the sun all day with an incredible view of Positano; to the east, the Marina di Praia, dominated by the iconic “Africana” disco and surrounded by ancient watchtowers.

A little further on, the imposing Hotel San Pietro welcomes us, one of the most exclusive in southern Italy, nestled in the rock overlooking the sea. Continuing on, we discover hidden coves and beaches that can only be reached by sea, such as the elegant beach of Arienzo, famous for its beach club, and the quiet inlet of Laurito, where the characteristic restaurant “Da Adolfo” is located.

Finally, the journey culminates in the bay of Positano, the pearl of the Coast, with its pastel-colored houses that slide gently towards the sea. Here, among the turquoise waters, historic villas overlook the turquoise waters that belonged to famous people such as Franco Zeffirelli and Tazio Nuvolari, who found in this place a refuge of peace and beauty.

Along the way, there will be the opportunity to stop to swim in the crystalline waters and admire the historic watchtowers and the iconic domes of the churches that dot the coast. For lunch, we can suggest a typical restaurant by the sea, where you can taste the real Amalfi cuisine, with dishes based on fresh fish and local specialties.

An unforgettable experience, to be lived by letting yourself be carried away by the slow rhythm of the sea, immersed in the timeless beauty of the Amalfi Coast.

    Giovanni was an excellent guide. I’ve been on many tours where the guide will never stop talking. Giovanni gave us plenty of great information but also left us alone to enjoy the experience of the Amalfi coast. He was so professional and kind. He stopped at amazing local spots and allowed us to swim and enjoy the beauty of the coast. He took us to a local boat access restaurant for lunch that served authentic pasta and seafood. We never felt rushed or hurried, the day couldn’t have been better. It was the best day of our vacation and the only way to see and enjoy the Amalfi coast. I would definitely recommend Giovanni.

    Fantastic day out! If get to book a private boat tour around Positano with Alfonso and his son you’re in for a great day. From the moment we boarded, we were treated to an unforgettable experience with breathtaking views, captivating history, and genuine Italian hospitality. Alfonso and his son greeted us warmly, making us feel like family. Their boat was pristine and comfortable. As we sailed, Alfonso shared fascinating stories about Positano's history, bringing the picturesque town to life. The tour's highlights were magical, with Alfonso pointing out hidden coves and stunning rock formations, sharing intriguing anecdotes. Their personal touch set this tour apart—they tailored the experience to our interests and ensured our comfort throughout. Alfonso and his son's passion and dedication make this a must-do for anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. We highly recommend their five-star service!

    We had a great time on the Amalfi coast with Giovanni. He is very professional and very good skipper. I booked the boat with more than one month in advance and I arrange with Giovanni pick us up in Praiano and the day of excursion he arrive on time to pick us up. He knows very well all the interest point in each coast town. With no doubt, I recommend Giovanni.

    My friend & I had such an amazing experience with the boat tour from Positano to Amalfi coast. Giovanni was so responsive & accommodating. The boat was spectacular and it was so clean. Giovanni served us with drinks and was an amazing guide. He also booked a great beach restaurant for lunch. Thanks for taking stunning pictures of us and being so accommodating when I got sea sick. Overall we loved our experience and will definitely come back.

    Giovanni was an excellent skipper, who took us around some of the best swimming and sightseeing spots along the Amalfi Coast. He did not pressure us for time and gave us the flexibility to do what we wanted, including swimming for longer in certain places. We had the most amazing day, and would definitely recommend Giovani to anyone wanting to have an amazing day exploring the coast - we hope to sail with him again next time we are here. Five stars isn't enough!!

    Giovanni could not be a more incredible boat captain and true local expert when it comes to reserving an Amalfi tour. So friendly, knowledgeable, and really thoughtful throughout the entire day tour we booked. Gorgeous boat kept in impeccable condition and clearly knows all the spots to cross off if you’re looking to have a gorgeous day on the water. Could not recommend higher - will be suggesting to every one of our friends in the future who plans to head there for a trip!!!!

    An absolutely stunning day out on the water with my family! We left the itinerary into the hands of Giovanni and loved all the places he took us! Took us to less touristy places and small private beaches where we could swim! An absolute highlight of our trip to Italy we will come again! Thankyou Giovanni!
