About this tour
Spend a full day sailing the Amalfi Coast aboard a traditional wooden gozzo, departing from Sorrento with stops in Positano and Amalfi. Your English-speaking skipper navigates the dramatic coastline at a relaxed pace, giving you genuine time to explore each village and swim from secluded spots. The boat includes a cabin, deck space, and a steady supply of cold drinks and snacks. Built for small groups seeking privacy rather than crowds, this seven to eight hour journey balances gentle cruising with freedom to linger where you choose.
Highlights
- Sail a classic Sorrentine gozzo with cabin and full facilities
- Anchor off Positano for swimming and village exploration
- Navigate to Amalfi's waterfront with skipping queues via water entry
- Optional Emerald Grotto stop with independent ticket purchase
- Prosecco, limoncello and snacks throughout the day
What to expect
You'll board in the morning and head out along the vertical cliffs and pastel villages of the Amalfi Coast. The gozzo moves at an easy speed, so expect gentle cruising rather than speed. At Positano, anchor offshore and either swim or take the tender to land for lunch and wandering the steep streets. Amalfi offers similar flexibility—explore the cathedral and piazza or stay aboard. The Emerald Grotto can be added as an optional detour. Throughout, your crew keeps drinks flowing and watches for photo opportunities. Afternoons often feel quieter than mornings as crowds thin.
Good to know
Emerald Grotto entry costs extra (€7 per person). Fuel surcharges may apply. Bring a valid passport. The boat suits all fitness levels, including families with prams and infants on laps. Arrive early at the designated meeting point for pickup.
