Itinerary
Our experience will take place aboard a beautiful sailboat (47ft) off the Amalfi coast on the fabled Mare Azzurro, where we will be exploring many beautiful beaches and places, such as Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Atrani, Amalfi, Praiano, Furore. Feel the warm sun on your face and the wind in your hair. You can go for a swim or just enjoy all the beauty that will be surrounding you on board! We will share a lot of fantastic and exclusive spots reachable only by boat and we'll also have time to taste an Italian aperitif. Optional: at the end of the trip we could bring our guests to one of the exclusive beach restaurants reachable only by boat, where you can eat delicious seafood and local wine. We can help with your transportation pickup and drop off along the coast, if you'll book early I could organize the meeting point in Salerno. Please note Salerno train station is very easy to reach and our base is 15 minutes walking distance from it.
Next you will visit the "Pandora's Cave" - a very large cave reachable only by boat. Usually if we are lucky it will also be possible to swim inside in a very deep blue sea! Then we will see the "Dead horse beach" - an unforgettable bay with a cliff overlooking the sea where we usually stop for the aperitif.
Sailing very close to Amalfi we will have the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent cliff overlooking the sea and see one of the most famous rocks called the natural arch - "Arco Naturale"!
One of the most stunning landscapes visible from the sea! It resembles a Norwegian fjord and is famous for hosting the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Championship.
One of our beautiful "Norman towers". It is possible to appreciate many Norman towers during the coastline navigation. These towers belong to the historical heritage of Amalfi, they formed the coastline defense system used by the Normans to protect themselves from the attack of enemies who came from the sea. They were used as watch-guard towers and one of the most beautiful and well-maintained towers is "Torre La Cerniola"!
Cetara, viewed from the sea, is a picturesque fishing village that seems almost untouched by time. Nestled at the foot of the Lattari Mountains, the town is characterized by its colorful houses that cascade down the hillside toward the sparkling blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Castiglione Beach, located in the charming town of Ravello, is a hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast. Nestled beneath dramatic cliffs, this small, secluded beach offers a peaceful retreat away from the busier coastal spots. The beach is characterized by its soft, dark sand and clear, turquoise waters, perfect for a refreshing swim.
From here it is possible to appreciate the whole Amalfi coastline.
Praiano, seen from the sea, is a serene and enchanting village that captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast. Perched on steep cliffs, its whitewashed houses and colorful buildings seem to blend seamlessly with the lush greenery and rugged terrain. The town’s churches, like the Church of San Gennaro, with its striking tiled dome, stand out against the landscape, offering a glimpse of Praiano's rich cultural heritage.
One of the most famous villages of the Amalfi coast! Here you could take a picture to save our experience in your memories.
The Marmorata waterfalls. The very cold water falls down from the Canneto river, used to produce the famous Amalfi handmade paper.
Put the sail Up...The itinerary is subject to weather and sea conditions and will be decided on the travel day by the captain. It is usually possible to see all the attractions.
We'll anchor in a secluded cove and enjoy a delicious lunch at a charming, family-run restaurant perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. Savor fresh seafood, local specialties, and breathtaking views as you relax and soak up the atmosphere

Fabio and Elvira gave us one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, they were exceptionally accommodating, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. Fabio has spent his entire life sailing these waters, and his knowledge of the coastline, history, and local culture is truly remarkable. Throughout the trip, both Fabio and Elvira were passionate about sharing their home with us, taking the time to explain the landmarks, villages, and buildings along the shore and bringing the region to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. What made the experience especially memorable was how personalized it felt. They took the time to understand our interests and tailored the day to our preferences, creating a unique experience that felt authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for more than just a boat trip and want a genuine connection to the Amalfi Coast through hosts who truly love what they do, we cannot recommend Fabio and Elvira highly enough.
This experience is better than U can imagine, not only will U have memories for a lifetime, you will make friends for life. Fabio & Elvira greeted us at the boat with the most beautiful hospitable smiles, it immediately felt like a familiar place. The boat is beautiful and well taken care of, and it actually felt bigger than it was in the pics. When Fabio & Elvira ask U to trust them, just do it. We asked to navigate across Amalfi Coast and to be dropped in Capri. We were on our honeymoon, and they made this experience for us unforgettable. From great local recommendations, to great swimming spots and places to take pictures, everything they gave us was gold. It felt more like a luxury yacht experience, when we left our rooms to get out for a swim, we came back & the room was cleaned & the bed made. They made snacks and provided drinks, & the food was delicious. We mentioned a meal we loved for breakfast from our home, when we woke up the next day Elvira made it for us as a surprise. That was very genuine and touching, and you dont get this kind of care anywhere. It was unbelievable. The beauty of the Amalfi Coast is legendary, and no matter what I say I will not do it justice, especially after seeing it with my own eyes. So to see it correctly, you must see it from the sea. And no will show it to you like Fabio & Elvira would. They are the best hosts you can have, very pleasant and kind, very thoughtful and generous with their recommendations and local information, and with their gestures. They genuinely love and enjoy meeting new people, and when they talk to you and ask you questions about your home or your culture, you can feel the genuine curiosity. And most importantly, they are very kind and respectful, been with them on the boat felt like being with friends you’ve known for years. I highly recommend this experience, and hope we will meet them again in the future to explore more of italy.
There are no words to express their genuine ability to make the amalfi coast even more incredible. My 70 year old mom and my 13 and 15 year old keep saying it’s the best part from Paris to Barcelona to Rome! Absolute must!!!!
This was the highlight of our Italy trip! What an incredible and intimate way to experience the Amalfi coast. The views were breathtaking! Fabio and Elvira were incredible as captain and hostess. They took us to some unbelievable hidden spots along the coast where we got to swim and explore. I cannot recommend this experience enough! We will miss Fabio and Elvira and are still in contact with them. We plan to come back and use them again!
This experience was a definite 5/5. They treated us so well and helped my friends birthday so special. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the areas and the interesting things to see. They went shopping for our preferences of snacks and meals and even got us the most delicious birthday cake from Amalfi. It was truly amazing and more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you both so much ❤️
Exceptional sailing experience. It was my first experience and I loved it. Fabio and Elvire are local guides who make us comfortable on their sailboat and they inform us about the good places on the coast and their recommendations are remarkable. Thank you and highly recommend!
My wife and I booked a day trip with Fabio and Elvira as part of our honeymoon trip. They took us down the amalfi coast to see all the towns from the water, they also took us to two great swimming spots and a wonderful little restaurant for lunch, as well as providing us some snacks and prosecco on the boat. The views were amazing and both Fabio and Elvira were very friendly and fun to talk to! They told us about all the sights we were sailing near, and also gave us recommendations for other things to do while on our trip. They made the logistics very easy, and also helped us arrange a car transfer to get to the port. Overall it was a highlight of the trip and I highly recommend this experience to all! Thanks again Fabio and Elvira!
Amazing experience sailing along the Amalfi Coast! This is our second time sailing with Fabio and Elvira and we plan to do it again. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. The views were incredible, and we loved swimming in hidden coves. Lunch on board was delicious and fresh; Elvira should have her own restaurant!! Such a relaxing way to see Amalfi and Positano—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an unforgettable day! I had the best time sailing along the coast on Fabio’s boat. Fabio and Elvira are such amazing hosts and made the whole experience feel so special. We stopped at a few spots to swim, and Elvira’s homemade lunch was honestly the best meal I’ve had in Italy. Couldn’t recommend this enough!
Do not hesitate to book this sail boat ride. I was initially wanting a traditional grotto boat, after this experience I would 100% recommend a sail with Fabio over a traditional grotto boat or motor boat in general as this is a unique and elevated experience, and the grotto boats are very touristy and “kitschy”. This was peaceful, tranquil, luxury at its finest. We took a private sail because of availability, and we were also worried about the cost. It was worth every single penny, and more honestly. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We felt like high class celebrities. Fabio and Elvira were the best hosts, very friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy, relaxed, generous, kind, and we really actually enjoyed being around them and felt they were friends by the end. Directions were super easy to follow, both Fabio and Elvira speak seamless English. They use texting to communicate and if you book private they will customize itinerary for you. We sailed west past several towns, swam, had several snacks and drinks including espresso in the morning, Prosecco and grappa in the afternoon, saw several great “tourist trap” sites and amazing fish, had an amazing lunch at a seaside restaurant. We didn’t want the experience to end! Truly amazing and highly, highly!!! Recommend to others. Don’t hesitate to book, and get excited for an unforgettable and really special experience. Thank you Fabio and Elvira!!
