From Positano: Half Day Boat Tour in Amalfi Coast

About this tour

A relaxed half-day sail from Positano following the dramatic Amalfi coastline, calling at coves and hidden spots between Furore's narrow fjord and the string of pastel villages that line the rocks. Your skipper handles a nimble 26-foot wooden gozzo (newly built), keeping numbers to six passengers maximum. Swim and snorkel in crystalline shallows, duck into sea caves, and spot the medieval watchtowers that once guarded against raiders. Prosecco and limoncello flow throughout.

Highlights

• Furore Fjord's towering limestone gorge and namesake village perched above
• Pandora Cave and submerged rock formations for snorkelling
• Medieval coastal defence towers scattered along the shoreline
• Dive stops in transparent water off Praiano and Conca dei Marini
• Flexible route—skipper adjusts based on weather and your mood
• Six-person maximum ensures genuine quiet, not a floating barge
• Fresh-built wooden gozzo, 2023–2025 launches

What to expect

You'll board in Positano and head southeast along the vertical cliffs. The gozzo moves at a calm pace, so there's time to absorb each viewpoint—whether that's the pastel scramble of Amalfi town or the folded landscape around Atrani. Most of the four hours splits between cruising, swimming stops (bring a rash guard if you burn easily), and light snorkelling in spots your skipper knows. The boat has a canopy aft, a toilet, and a small fridge stocked with local fizz and cold drinks. Expect a gentle bounce if there's any swell; it's not rough-water sailing.
