About this tour
Spend 7–8 hours aboard a private boat cruising from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi, stopping at secluded coves and dramatic cliff-backed villages along Italy's most celebrated coastline. Your skipper navigates the winding bays while you swim in transparent waters, wander pastel-coloured streets, and sample local limoncello and Prosecco. Ideal for marking occasions with family or friends.
Highlights
- Anchor in hidden coves inaccessible by road
- Swim in gin-clear Tyrrhenian waters
- Explore Positano's vertical village on foot
- Taste Prosecco and limoncello on deck
- Skip crowds via private boat access
- Optional Emerald Grotto side trip
What to expect
You'll board in Sorrento and follow the coast eastward, stopping to wade and snorkel where cliffs plunge straight into the sea. The boat pauses long enough for you to climb into Positano's narrow alleys, browse local shops, and grab lunch at a harbourside trattoria—most travellers budget an hour or two ashore. Return to the boat for the final leg to Amalfi, where you can either disembark or loop back toward Sorrento. Throughout, the crew keeps drinks flowing and offers snacks; expect sun, spray, and the low hum of the engine.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, a swimsuit, and a light wrap for sea breeze. The boat rocks in rough swells; those with back or heart concerns should reconsider. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Emerald Grotto entry (€7) is optional. Public transport serves all three towns if you prefer land-based exploration.
