About this tour

This seven-hour boat journey traces the Amalfi Coast from Positano, revealing why these waters captivate visitors. You'll navigate past limestone cliffs, pastel-hued settlements, and secluded inlets unreachable from shore. Swimming stops in transparent bays, exploring sea caves, and lunch at waterfront trattorias accessible only by boat transform the trip into something beyond standard sightseeing—a proper sense of how this coastline actually works.

Highlights

  • Swim in sheltered bays with clear Mediterranean water
  • Navigate sea caves including the Emerald Grotto area
  • Lunch at seaside restaurants only by boat access
  • Snorkelling gear provided for underwater exploration
  • Dramatic cliff views without the crowds

What to expect

Expect a full day on water with genuine downtime built in. The boat moves between villages and natural features at a relaxed pace, stopping regularly for swimming and exploration rather than rushing through photo opportunities. You'll get close enough to Positano and Amalfi to see how they're actually built into the landscape, not just admire them from a distance. Bring a waterproof bag for personal items and wear reef-safe sunscreen. The snorkelling equipment lets you check out what's beneath the surface if you're interested, though it's optional.

Good to know

Grotta dello Smeraldo entrance fee isn't included. Bring a light jacket for sea breezes. Infants sit on laps; prams work for getting to the boat. The tour suits all fitness levels since you're seated most of the day.
