About this tour
A private boat departs Salerno at 09:00, returning by 16:00 to suit cruise ship schedules. Sail past the dramatic Amalfi Coast—Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Atrani—with swimming stops in secluded coves and optional visits to Amalfi or Positano. The 10-passenger maximum keeps things intimate. Snorkel gear, refreshments, and a crew of two are included; lunch at a waterfront restaurant (boat access) can be arranged separately. Shape the itinerary around your pace: swim longer, relax on deck, or explore villages.

What to expect
You'll board steps from the cruise terminal and head south along one of Europe's most photographed coastlines. The boat hugs the water's edge, offering angles of Amalfi's architecture and Positano's stacked buildings that postcards don't quite capture. Expect two or three swims in bays where the sea bed shelves gently—bring the snorkel gear if you want to nose around underwater. The crew will anchor where the light and water suit the moment. If you choose to visit a village, you'll nose into the harbour and either wade ashore or take a tender. The boat's small and responsive; you'll feel the coast's contours rather than cruise past them.
Good to know
Bring sun protection; the water reflects hard light. The boat has a toilet and serves soft drinks, water, and snacks throughout. Lunch isn't included but can be organised at a restaurant reachable directly by boat—book this in advance if interested. The crew will hold your spot until 16:00 for cruise passengers.
