What To Expect

Meet your guide at your Sorrento hotel (confirm the exact time with tour provider) and drive to the port, where you board your boat with a maximum of 15 passengers and set off along the Amalfi Coast.

Cruise around the Gulf of Salerno on a comfortable boat equipped with Wi-Fi, a stereo, and first-aid. Stop to snorkel and swim at Li Galli Island, a private island inaccessible by car, before continuing to the town of Amalfi. Shop, dine, and stroll during free time in this beachside resort town.

Then, return to your boat for a tomato and mozzarella sandwich and a drink en route to Positano. Once you land, wander the steep, narrow streets of this cliffside town in search of a good view or a good espresso from one of the many sidewalk cafes; your guide can point you in the right direction.

Traveler Tips

You can/should bring a bag with your own towels and also you can bring a couple of swimsuits and shorts if you want to change - the boat has plenty of room.

I’d like to recommend that the wrist bands given at the start are replaced with something else that doesn’t fall off and pollute the sea as soon as you take your first swim!

Really good couple / family time, Nice staff, Wonderful swimming break and spots, Best way to visit Positano and Amalfi : To be highly recommended !

A Dream

Shanna_C, Mar 2023

What a dream! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would totally do it again. South Italy is a lovely area and this tour was the icing on the cake. The guides gave us ample time to explore. 90 mins more or less at each stop was just enough time to shop or eat (but not both). The highlight was when we docked and swam in the lush deep blue Mediterranean Sea. Pure postcard vibes but in real life.

Very friendly crew with...

Super Experience and a must do!

Sam_L, Oct 2022

One of my highlights of my trip to Sorrento and Amalfi coast. Seeing the Amalfi coast from the sea in decent boat with a small group tour (12 ppl) was so beautiful. All the relevant sights from the sea we stopped to allow photos and commentary and the stops in Amalfi and Positano were enough time. We had 2 opportunities to jump and swim in the sea and drinks were offered. Host and boat captain were great and friendly, client focused. Great experience!

drive along Amalfi coast

David_D, Oct 2022

beautiful scenery and great restauramts and shops. Excellent driver who knew a lot about the area. Highly recommend this trip.

Nothing but good times

Mayra_R, Oct 2022

Amazing experience on the boat with Giuseppe and Ugo. Explained to us about the many spots we were visiting and were very attentive and engaging. The best part was jumping in the water for a swim. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. A MUST during your trip.

Enjoyable and Recommended

Sherry_P, Oct 2022

Highly recommend! Our guide, Francesca, was welcoming and did a wonderful job telling us about the coastline. Captain Farfalle is excellent. Very enjoyable experience!

Enjoyable relaxation.

vicki_m, Oct 2022

Enjoying the boat ride and seeing the cliffs and small islands and caves. Also looking at Amalfi road and being glad we weren’t on it.

Wonderful day on the Amalfi

Jennifer_K, Oct 2022

Guido and Salvatore were fantastic hosts on a wonderful day at sea. We had a wonderful time at the stops and Guido gave us a running commentary during the voyage. Great tunes, great weather and a fantastic experience all round.

Great boat ride and best views from Amalfi/Positano

Wendy_J, Oct 2022

Great way to see the coastline and visit amalfi/positano in one trip. Views were incredible and captain was a great driver. Crew shared details about some of the sights.

WORTH EVERY PENNY

Arianna_L, Oct 2022

This was our favorite part of our entire vacation, it could not have been more amazing. Francesca was our tour guide and she was the sweetest, most adorable woman ever!!! We absolutely loved it!! The only complaint I’d have is how packed the stops are (amalfi and positano), just be prepared for tons of people!!

Best experience

ashley_m, Sep 2022

Very nice people , highlight of of our trip ;) wonderful experience, must do in Italy, worth the money

The highlight of our trip to Italy!

Kristin_V, Sep 2022

Our plan was to enjoy and relax on the trip. We were lucky to have the boat for ourselves. We had the snacks and drinks with us. Definitely the best way to get to the Amalfi coast if it is very warm. Sea, water, wind and friends! We recommend! Thank you our capitano! Kisses from Estonia!

Great day on the water

Laura_L, Sep 2022

The captain and crew were wonderful. We were safe and have a wonderful boat ride and docking at several places. Would highly recommend

Matthew_P, Aug 2022

We had an excellent day on the water, and would highly recommend this to anyone. Stops in town were quick, but we spent more time in them on other days anyways.

Stunning views

Sarah, Aug 2022

Over all we had a great day, the boat the lovely, clean and the skippers were great. The bus to collect us was 40 minutes late which added stress before we even got started ( we weren’t staying at the pick up collection hotel so was also there 30 mins early to ensure we were on time which ended up being a very long wait) We only got 1 swim stop I think another between places would of been appreciated as it was a very hot day. The lunch provided was a small roll I feel for the price we paid a little extra would of been nice even just a bag of crisps. Pre warning to others: Due to the trip not collecting from hotel after some research I knew it was just an 8 minute drive which I thought was fine. Little did we know the taxi would cost 30 euros for the 8min drive. (It is un walkable due to the roads) so we then ended up sending an extra 60 euros just to get to the pick up point hotel and back. We did have another trip booked Friday which we have now had to cancel as we cannot justify the extra 60 euros getting to the pick up hotel and back. I feel our hotel just 8 minutes away should of been included. It not hard roads to get to it at all.

Beautiful day out on the...

jacquelinem_c, Aug 2022

Beautiful day out on the boat exploring Amalfi Coast. I really enjoyed all the towns and especially swimming in the Mediterranean.

Good trip to get a sense of Amalfi and Positano

A_S, Aug 2022

Our guide was knowledgeable and pointed out many things along the way that only a local would know. We stopped for 90min in Amalfi and 90min in Positano on the way with two chances to swim in the warm water. We were able to go into the cave where the seagulls take cover during a storm. It ended with a “cold shower” from the only fresh “waterfall” in Sorrento which was cool. If you are prone to motion sickness I would be prepared with all ammo you can get. Depending on where your hotel is you’re first in a van going down a very curvy road very fast. And the boat trip was very rocky. You’re out in the sun all day except for the times you’re on land where you might be able to find some shade. It gave us a great sense of Amalfi and Positano to see if we would go back another day but not enough time to really explore.

Awesome experience!

Prashant_R, Aug 2022

The boat cruise was amazing. The actual travel to each town along the Amalfi Coast was the highlight as the boat was very comfortable, and water wasn't too cold. We got to spend enough time at each stop as well. Would highly recommend.

Best trip ever!

Kathryn_M, Aug 2022

Incredible experience! A perfect way to see Amalfi and Postiano. The skipper was very fun, knowledgeable and friendly. Visiting both towns for the perfect amount of time to grab a bite and see the sights. The boat trip itself was our favourite part though as the sights were amazing!
