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 Positano, the first wonder that welcomes us is its bay, framed by the iconic villas overlooking the sea, homes of illustrious figures such as Franco Zeffirelli and Tazio Nuvolari. A little further on, among hidden coves and beaches reachable only by sea, we will discover the exclusive beach of Arienzo, famous for its elegant beach club, and Laurito, a small corner of paradise made famous by the restaurant "Da Adolfo", where the scent of fresh fish mixes with the sea breeze.

Continuing along the coast, we come across the Hotel San Pietro, a jewel set in the rock, considered one of the most beautiful hotels in southern Italy. After Praiano, the coast opens up to dreamy views: Cala La Gavitella, a small corner of paradise with a view of Positano, and Marina di Praia, dominated by the historic “Africana” disco and surrounded by ancient watchtowers.

One of the most spectacular places we will encounter along the way is the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow inlet enclosed between high rock walls, where the sea takes on emerald hues. Here, time seems to stand still, and nature offers one of the most evocative views of the coast.

Further ahead, the picturesque bay of Conca dei Marini welcomes us with its exclusive villas and the seaside restaurant “La Tonnarella”, where you can enjoy traditional dishes in a timeless atmosphere. Not far away, you can see the famous villa of Carlo Ponti and Sofia Loren, an emblem of Italian charm and elegance.

Continuing east, Amalfi awaits us, the glorious Maritime Republic, with its imposing Cathedral that stands out among the white houses and picturesque streets. Crossing the small village of Atrani, with its houses perched on the cliff, we will admire the coast below Ravello, city of music and villas suspended between sky and sea.

The Marmorata waterfall, with its jet of fresh water that dives directly into the sea, offers a refreshing corner perfect for a regenerating dip. Finally, the journey ends between Minori and Maiori, two villages with authentic charm, where the sea merges with the sky and time passes gently.

Along the way, there will be the opportunity to stop to swim in the most crystalline coves and admire the historic watchtowers and the colorful domes of the churches that dot the coast. For lunch, we can stop at a typical restaurant, 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.

Itinerary

Starting location:
Positano
Furore Fjord
A secret corner of the Coast, where the sea insinuates itself between sheer rock walls, creating a wild and breathtaking landscape. This small fjord, one of the few in Italy, is home to an ancient fishing village and a suggestive panoramic bridge from which spectacular acrobatic dives take place every year.
Conca dei Marini Bay
A small hidden paradise, framed by exclusive villas and seaside restaurants. Here are the residences of legendary families such as the Agnellis and the Chandons. The turquoise waters and the relaxed atmosphere make this bay perfect for a stop and an unforgettable lunch overlooking the sea.
Amalfi
The most famous of the ancient Maritime Republics, Amalfi is a mix of history, culture and Mediterranean charm. The majestic Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, with its spectacular staircase, dominates the historic center, while the lively streets and fragrant lemon groves tell the centuries-old tradition of this timeless place.
Gavitella Cove (Praiano)
A small bay exposed to the sun from dawn to dusk, with clear waters and one of the most enchanting views on the coast. From here, the view of Positano at sunset is simply magical, a perfect place to relax and enjoy the sea in peace.
Marmorata Waterfall
A hidden gem between Ravello and Minori, where a freshwater waterfall flows directly into the sea, creating a unique contrast between the shades of blue and green. A perfect place for a refreshing dip and a moment of pure immersion in nature.

    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!
