A day in paradise Amalfi Coast

About this tour

Skip the crowded coastal roads and see the Amalfi Coast from the water aboard your own skippered boat. This six-hour private charter departs Amalfi and works its way past hidden coves, dramatic cliff formations, and fishing villages, with freedom to jump in and swim whenever something catches your eye. You'll drift past Positano's stacked pastel houses, explore the Fjord of Furore, and anchor in turquoise bays while working through Prosecco and snacks.

Highlights

• Skip past Santa Croce's arch of love rock formation
• Anchor in Conca dei Marini bay for a proper swim
• Fjord of Furore's dramatic limestone walls
• Positano's tiered pastel village viewed from water
• Snorkel stops at spots your skipper knows
• Prosecco and aperitivi aboard
• Shower onboard, snorkelling kit included

What to expect

You'll board a private boat in Amalfi and cruise east along the jagged coastline. The skipper navigates past dramatic rock formations and into sheltered bays where the water turns from deep blue to translucent green. Most of the morning and afternoon is yours to steer—literally, if you want—with breaks for swimming and snorkelling at spots your skipper recommends. Positano appears suddenly around a headland, its houses seemingly glued vertically to the cliff. You'll have time to float, snorkel, and simply take in the scale of the landscape. The boat has showers, so you can rinse salt water before heading back.
