What to expect
You board at Positano and head east along the dramatic coastline. The skipper navigates past smaller hamlets and fishing villages, pointing out geographical landmarks and local history. Swimming stops are likely at scenic points; bring swimwear. At Amalfi, you'll have time ashore to see the cathedral's bronze doors and the small museum documenting the town's medieval paper-manufacturing legacy. The return leg takes you past the quieter resort towns of Minori and Maiori, finishing at Vietri sul Mare where you can explore workshops and piazzas decorated in majolica tiles. The pace is leisurely; expect roughly equal time on water and in villages.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and swimwear. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; prams stow below deck. Service animals welcome. The gozzo is an open boat, so weather matters—calm seas are ideal. No alcoholic drinks included; BYO or buy locally. Public transport links Positano if you prefer an alternative return.
