boat hire in Amalfi · Orizzonti — Nautilus 22 (2022)

Experienced from the sea, the Divine Coast releases all the beauty that over the years has enchanted intellectuals, artists and film stars. From the clear waters that wash the coasts, you will be able to land on hidden beaches that are inaccessible from land or can only be reached after climbing long stairways. Exploring the coast by boat will allow you to "abandon yourself" to a journey where, lulled by the waves, you will be able to observe a panorama in which inlets and coves alternate with larger beaches, among enchanting terraces cultivated with vines, citrus fruits and lemons which create a wonderful natural setting. Thanks to greater freedom of movement, you will be able to move extremely easily from one town to another, crossing houses, villages and gardens directly from the water. By visiting this corner of paradise by sea, you will have the privilege of getting away from the chatter of people in the alleys and from the most crowded and noisy beaches. A real escape in search of silence and hidden and peaceful places, where you can relax and give yourself a moment of peace away from everyone. Departure Salerno/Amalfi/Maiori Destinations Amalfi/Positano/Praiano/Furore Pass by: Amalfi from where the Amalfi Coast takes its name, presents itself to tourists as a fantastic place, rich in history, Amalfi being one of the Maritime Republics, and modernity, in close contact with nature. Its climate is Mediterranean, the patron saint is St. Andrew the Apostle Positano developed mainly vertically, the city of Positano is famous above all for its small and characteristic streets full of craft shops which still today, as in the 60s, make tailor-made handcrafted sandals and clothes. Li Galli Islands During the journey it will be possible to navigate towards an uncontaminated archipelago south of the Sorrento peninsula: Li Galli. There are three islands that make up Li Galli: Gallo Lungo, La Rotonda and Dei Briganti, the latter better known as La Castelluccia. The archipelago is part of the protected area of Punta Campanella and falls within the municipality of Positano. If you look at the outline of the archipelago from above, what you seem to be able to see is the figure of a dolphin or, if you want to remain faithful to the myth, the tail of a mermaid. Furore fjord A crack in the rock, immersed in wild nature that frames a small beach of just 25 meters: this is how the Furore Fjord appears, a small natural jewel in the heart of the Amalfi Coast.
