Amalfi Coast Private Boat Tour (Cruise-Passenger Optimized )

About this tour

Seven to eight hours aboard a private boat tracing the Amalfi Coast from mid-morning to early evening. You'll anchor at secluded swimming spots—Dead Horse Bay with transparent water, the Pandora grotto, and Marmorata Falls—then navigate past the clifftop villages of Amalfi, Conca dei Marini, Praiano and Positano. The boat stops long enough to explore Amalfi's architecture or grab lunch at waterfront restaurants in Conca dei Marini. Throughout, you're surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and pastel-coloured villages stacked against the shore.

Highlights

• Swim in sheltered bays with visibility down to the seabed
• Paddle into the Pandora sea cave for a freshwater rinse
• Waterfall plunge at Marmorata with cliff-backed beach
• Navigate the narrow Fjord of Furore by boat
• Cruise past Positano's vertically stacked colour-washed houses
• Private boat means no crowds at each stop
• Amalfi town wander—medieval lanes and cathedral square

What to expect

Your skipper collects you at 10:00 AM and motors out to Dead Horse Bay first—a wide, shallow cove where you can snorkel or simply float. After an hour, you're back aboard and heading to Pandora Cave, a sea-level grotto where fresh water trickles down the rocks; expect a scramble over stones and a cool dip. Mid-morning you'll reach Marmorata Waterfall, another swimming stop with a small rocky beach. The afternoon unfolds as a slow coastal cruise: you'll see Amalfi's dome and waterfront close up (short stop possible), pause in Conca dei Marini for lunch if you've booked a restaurant table, then drift past the near-vertical orange and pink houses of Positano as the light softens. It's swimming and cruising, not sightseeing hikes.
