Itinerary
Once everyone is on board, we will be ready to set off on an unforgettable adventure along the beautiful Amalfi Coast. As we leave the port of Amalfi, our journey will allow us to observe from the sea the Grotta di Sant'Andrea, an extraordinary marine cave adorned with stalactites, named after the patron saint of the city. We will continue along the enchanting beaches of Duoglio and Santa Croce, before reaching the "Arch of Love," a natural rock formation shaped by the erosion of the sea over millions of years. Its shape resembles two elephants coming together for a kiss, and according to legend, those who kiss in front of this arch will experience eternal love. It is an enchanting place, making every kiss truly unique.
Continuing our journey, we will sail past the picturesque village of Conca dei Marini, an ancient fishing village. Here, we will admire Sophia Loren's villa, an exclusive residence with a breathtaking view from its watchtower, now transformed into a luxurious suite. A little further ahead, we will see the beautiful “La Vite” beach, dominated by an imposing Saracen fortress, which now houses the elegant 5-star Borgo Sant'Andrea hotel, blending historic charm with modern luxury. Next, we will visit the main beach of Conca dei Marini, known as the "VIP Corner", where international figures like the Agnelli family and Moët & Chandon have settled. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline visited, and in their honor, local restaurants created the dish spaghetti alla Kennedy. The final gem of Conca dei Marini is the Emerald Grotto, discovered in 1932 by a fisherman, now accessible by both sea and land, with crystal-clear waters and stunning stalactites.
Right after leaving the village of Conca dei Marini, we will admire the Fiordo di Furore, one of the most fascinating natural wonders of the Amalfi Coast and the only fjord in Italy. It is a narrow and deep gulf that opens between the mountains, creating a breathtaking landscape where the sea carves its way through the steep cliffs. The small village of Furore sits above the fjord, with colorful houses climbing the hills, offering a spectacular view. The fjord is famous for its bridge, which spans the entrance about 30 meters above the sea, offering a unique panoramic view. Every year, the Fiordo di Furore hosts the "Marmeting", an event where professionals from around the world dive from the bridge, challenging the waters below. This thrilling event attracts enthusiasts and curious visitors, further enhancing the fame of this stunning location. The Fiordo di Furore, with its wild and unspoiled beauty, is an unmissable stop on the Amalfi Coast.
Right after the Fiordo di Furore, we will sail east, towards the other side of the coast. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to admire the picturesque village of Praiano, the Isola dei Galli, and the famous Faraglioni of Capri, towering majestically in the distance over the sea. Enjoying this unique view, accompanied by some relaxing music, will make the experience even more unforgettable.
Sailing right after Amalfi, we will admire the other towns of the Amalfi Coast: Atrani, a small and picturesque village known for its narrow streets, white houses, and lively squares; Minori, a town overlooking a beautiful beach, famous for its historical and cultural heritage; Maiori, one of the largest towns on the coast, rich in sandy beaches and ancient noble palaces. Finally, Ravello, situated higher up on the mountain, is famous for its historic villas like Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, offering breathtaking views of the coast. We will continue our journey to a strategic point, where we will make a stop to dive (30 minutes) into the crystal-clear sea and enjoy its incredible beauty, all accompanied by relaxing music. At the end of the swimming break the boat will return to the port of Amalfi by 13:00.

We loved this trip. Gorgeous views, informative narrative, helpful crew, affordable way to get on an Amalfi boat and fun time swimming. Thanks!
Beautiful excursion on the "Raffaele" boat. Captain Antonio and sailor Antonio were friendly and attentive, and they provided us with an excellent explanation of the coastal scenery. A wonderful break for swimming, always under their supervision. Highly recommended.
A very beautiful activity that allows us to see the coast differently. Swimming was pleasant, but you should know that you have to jump into the water. It is impossible to descend by the ladder.
Do not do business with this company or with Antonio. The Airbnb listing was misleading. The experience was advertised in a way that made it appear to be a small, personal tour for approximately 10 guests. However, when we arrived, there were more than 20 people, and the boat did not match the one shown in the listing photos. While waiting, I observed the operation and initially did not realize which boat was being used because it looked different from the advertised vessel. I then watched staff change the signage/name boards on the boat, which raised additional concerns. When I confronted them about the discrepancies between the Airbnb listing and the actual experience, they insisted the listing was not misleading. I disagreed and explained that the experience being provided was not what had been advertised. The company instructed me to cancel the booking but never informed me that doing so could affect my ability to receive a refund. They have since refused to honor a refund request despite the misleading nature of the listing and the differences between the advertised and actual experience. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this company.
Gentile Elliott, ci dispiace che sia rimasta insoddisfatta, ma riteniamo necessario chiarire alcuni fatti importanti per i futuri ospiti. Lei è arrivata regolarmente al punto d’incontro, ma ha deciso autonomamente di non salire a bordo perché il numero di partecipanti era superiore a quello da lei personalmente immaginato. Nell’annuncio Airbnb non era mai indicato che il tour fosse limitato a un massimo di 10 persone. La dicitura “10 posti disponibili” si riferiva esclusivamente ai posti prenotabili in quel momento e non alla capienza complessiva dell’imbarcazione. La barca utilizzata quel giorno era una delle imbarcazioni impiegate regolarmente per il servizio e ha operato nel pieno rispetto della capienza autorizzata. Respingiamo inoltre categoricamente l’affermazione secondo cui il nostro personale avrebbe modificato il nome o l’identità dell’imbarcazione per trarre in inganno gli ospiti. Nessun membro del nostro staff ha promesso o autorizzato un rimborso. Il tour è partito e si è svolto regolarmente, mentre la decisione di non partecipare è stata presa da lei pochi minuti prima della partenza. Per questo motivo, la richiesta di rimborso è stata gestita nel rispetto delle condizioni di cancellazione previste dalla piattaforma di prenotazione. Rispettiamo il diritto di ogni ospite di condividere la propria opinione, ma non possiamo accettare affermazioni che non corrispondono a quanto realmente accaduto, soprattutto quando derivano da aspettative personali e non da condizioni effettivamente indicate nell’annuncio.

Lovely cruise along the coastline to see some key sights and take in the lovely scenery. Fantastic swim - so refreshing - and the most kind/helpful staff. I lost my watch upon diving in, and two of the team dove for it - and actually managed to find it for me! above and beyond - wonderful trip. Thank you so much! 👏🏻
It was extremely flexible and the ocean was amazing. The guides were super kind and helpful and the sights were stunning!
