Itinerary
TOUR OVERVIEW: The tour may depart from Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento or Salerno depending on the selected option (availability may vary by date). The route and order of stops will vary accordingly. Half-day options depart from Amalfi or Positano and focus on cruising and swimming along the stretch of coast between the two towns. Full-day options depart from Sorrento or Salerno and include approximately 1.5 hours of free time in Positano and 1.5 hours in Amalfi, during which guests may enjoy lunch at their leisure (not included), in addition to the coastal cruise and swimming stops. --- ITINERARY: Cruising near Amalfi, you'll pass beaches, sea caves, and ancient watchtowers, with chances to swim or snorkel in crystal-clear waters. Highlights along this stretch include the vast Saint Andrew’s Grotto, the striking Arc of Lovers, and the scenic village of Conca dei Marini, where you’ll spot Sophia Loren’s villa and the historic Il Saraceno hotel.
The picturesque bay of Conca dei Marini opens into panoramic views of Furore, Praiano, and the islands of Li Galli and Capri, with a glimpse of the iconic Faraglioni Rocks. Here, you’ll stop near the Runghetiello Grotto, a charming little sea cave with a tiny beach — perfect for swimming or snorkeling. During the break, enjoy fresh fruit served on board with a selection of drinks, including prosecco, Limoncello, beer, and soft drinks.
Nearby lies the dramatic Furore Fjord, Italy’s only natural fjord. Towering cliffs surround a narrow inlet, over which stretches a high bridge — the site of the international diving competition MarMeeting, where athletes from around the world plunge 28 meters into the sea below each July.
Continuing along the coast, the boat cruises past the quiet village of Praiano, offering a close look at the Africana Grotto. Inside this larger sea cave, the water takes on an intense blue hue thanks to a unique play of light and underwater rock.
As you cruise past Capo Sottile toward Positano, you’ll marvel at its colorful cliffside homes and beautiful beaches. A stop at La Porta, a peaceful, boat-access-only beach, offers another chance to swim or snorkel in uncrowded waters. During this break, relax and enjoy fresh fruit along with a variety of drinks, including prosecco, Limoncello, beer, and sodas.

We had a delayed train from Naples and were unable to make the tour on time. We communicated to the provider on time and they acted concerned but they really weren’t, and we were not helped in any way. It’s much better to just say that you can’t do anything when someone misses an appointment for any reason, than to act concerned when you don’t plan to do anything.
10/10 tour! Our captain was great. He told us information about different towns along the way, made sure everyone was having a good time and that our glasses were never empty. Stopped at 2 spots to swim and even got to swim inside of a cave!
We had a great boat tour with this company! The guides were very knowledgeable & it was great to learn a lot about the area! The first swim spot was incredible with snorkeling in a cave and tons of fish! The half day tour was the perfect amount of time as well. Meet up and drop off was super easy!
Sooooooooo incredible and worth it! the workers are so insanely kind and talented at making sure you have a safe and enjoyable trip! MUST DO for italy! Christiano was lovely! Definitely recommend!!!!
This was one of the best things we did on our trip. There was a heat wave in the Amalfi Coast during our stay, and the shore was getting unbearable. 4 hours on a boat, swimming, drinks, and unbeatable views was divine! Highly recommend!
If I could rate this 6/5, I would :) Rafael was welcoming and friendly. We would definitely recommend the experience.
Amazing trip we loved it . Christian was fab very informative and very friendly and relaxed . We snorkelled and swam to a cave . We did the 4 hour trip from Positano to the Amalfi . Would definitely recommend it . You meet the lady with the orange umbrella if that helps anyone x
As someone who’s afraid of water and doesn’t prefer swimming, this was life changing and beautiful. Exploring the marine life was an amazing experience. The boat captain and his friendly nature made it ever better! Can’t recommend enough! Always a must try when visiting amalfi
Great experience great guide thank you
This is a great way to see the Amalfi coast! The captain was chill, pointed out some highlights, played American pop music from circa 2020, cut up a melon for us to nibble and stopped to let us swim a few times.
