Itinerary
Departure from Sorrento
After boarding your private boat in Sorrento, set off along the Sorrentine coastline, enjoying open views of the sea and rugged cliffs. As the boat cruises smoothly south, the landscape begins to transform, revealing the dramatic scenery that has made the Amalfi Coast famous worldwide.
Cruising the Amalfi Coast
As you navigate along the Amalfi Coast, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. From the water, you’ll admire the steep cliffs dotted with pastel-colored villages, ancient watchtowers, and hidden beaches accessible only by boat. Along the route, you’ll pass the breathtaking Fjord of Furore, one of the coast’s most striking natural landmarks, where sheer rock walls plunge into emerald waters.
Continuing the cruise, you’ll sail past charming coastal hamlets and secluded coves before reaching the legendary Li Galli Islands, a small archipelago surrounded by intensely blue sea and steeped in myth and history. According to legend, these islands were once home to the sirens of Homer’s Odyssey. Throughout the cruise, your skipper will adjust the pace and route to highlight the best views and ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.
Swimming Stops
Throughout the day, your skipper will select beautiful areas for swimming and relaxation, choosing calm and scenic spots along the coast near Praiano and Conca dei Marini, known for their clear waters and dramatic rock formations. These stops allow you to swim directly from the boat, snorkel beneath the cliffs, or simply relax onboard while enjoying the views. Towels, drinks, and snorkeling gear are available on the boat, and the pace is always adapted to your preferences and sea conditions.
Positano
One of the highlights of the tour is time ashore in Positano, the postcard-perfect village famous for its colorful houses cascading down the cliffside. You’ll have free time to explore independently, stroll through narrow streets, browse local boutiques, relax at a seaside café, or walk down to the beach. From the water, Positano reveals its most iconic angles, making this stop especially memorable.
Amalfi
Continuing along the coast, you’ll arrive in Amalfi, the historic maritime republic that gave the coastline its name. Here you can visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, wander through the lively town center, or enjoy a coffee overlooking the harbor. As you approach Amalfi by sea, you’ll also pass the charming village of Atrani, one of the smallest and most authentic towns in Italy, nestled between cliffs and connected to Amalfi by a short walkway.
Lunch by the Sea
During the day, you’ll have time to enjoy lunch by the sea, choosing between waterfront restaurants in Amalfi or Positano, or the peaceful and renowned Nerano Bay, famous for its crystal-clear waters and outstanding local cuisine. This area is celebrated for simple yet unforgettable flavors, from fresh seafood and handmade pasta to local specialties such as spaghetti alla Nerano. Lunch is not included, allowing you the freedom to select the restaurant and style that best suits your taste. Upon request, we’ll be happy to recommend and book a table for you, ensuring a seamless and memorable dining experience directly accessible by boat.
Return to Sorrento
On the return journey to Sorrento, enjoy a final cruise along the Amalfi Coast, passing once again by Conca dei Marini, Praiano, and the dramatic cliffs that define this stretch of coastline. The late-afternoon light enhances the colors of the villages and sea, offering a relaxed and scenic conclusion to a day spent discovering the Amalfi Coast from its most beautiful perspective.
