About this tour
A seven-to-eight-hour private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast, departing from Positano aboard a traditional wooden gozzo. You'll navigate past medieval watchtowers, dramatic fjords, and hidden coves, with multiple swimming breaks in crystalline waters. Stop at charming coastal villages like Amalfi, Praiano, and Conca dei Marini, where colourful houses tumble to the shore. The boat carries a maximum of seven passengers and includes drinks, snacks, and plenty of shade—flexibility built in so you shape the itinerary to your mood.

- Snorkelling in protected spots along the coast
What to expect
You'll board a recently built wooden gozzo—sturdy, traditional, and equipped with a canopy for relief from the sun. The boat moves at a leisurely pace, hugging the coastline so you see every tower, grotto mouth, and village detail. Expect three to four swims at different spots; the water clarity varies but is generally excellent. If you want to explore a town, you'll have time ashore to wander and eat (lunch is your own expense). The crew handles navigation and anchoring; your job is to relax, swim when the water calls, and enjoy the drinks locker. Sea conditions determine the exact route, but the captain will adapt.
Good to know
Bring your passport copy. The Emerald Grotto entry fee isn't included; budget extra if you want to explore it. Lunch at waterfront spots costs separately. Pregnant travellers, those with spinal issues, or cardiovascular concerns should skip this. Children under 18 cannot have alcohol. Infants must sit on a lap throughout.
