About this tour
Explore the Amalfi Coast's hidden coves and dramatic cliffs aboard a traditional wooden gozzo with a local captain. This 8–9 hour private boat tour departs from Sorrento, weaving between the Li Galli islands, Furore's narrow fjord, and the Recommone grotto before docking in Positano and Amalfi for on-foot wandering. Stop whenever you fancy to swim and snorkel in transparent waters, then wander Positano's steep lanes or admire Amalfi's baroque cathedral.
Highlights
- Li Galli islands and sea stacks from the water
- Furore fjord: dramatic cliffside village tucked inland
- Recommone grotto: hidden sea cave with turquoise entrance
- Snorkel in gin-clear water, multiple swimming stops
- Land in Positano and Amalfi for street-level exploring
- Prosecco, limoncello, and local snacks on board
- Small-group intimacy on a wooden Sorrentine boat
What to expect
You'll board a nimble wooden gozzo—built for navigating the coast's tight inlets—and motor past sheer limestone cliffs dotted with lemon groves and pastel villages. Your captain, raised on these waters, navigates to lesser-known grottoes and anchorages; you're free to ask him to drop anchor whenever a cove appeals. Bring your own mask or use the provided kit to explore submerged rock formations and small fish. Partway through, you'll beach at either Positano or Amalfi town, giving you an hour or two to climb their staircase alleys, grab a coffee, or hunt for ceramics.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light cover-up. Sea state can be choppy in winter; summer offers calmer conditions. Prams and strollers are welcome. Public transport links are nearby if you'd rather join than drive.
