Positano and Amalfi Boat Tour from Salerno with Snorkel and Drink
Description
Experience the Amalfi Coast from the sea on a relaxed small-group boat tour departing from Salerno (max 12 guests). Travel aboard a traditional Amalfi Coast “gozzo” boat equipped with shade canopy, restroom, and freshwater shower for comfort throughout the day. Cruise along the coastline past colorful fishing villages, medieval watchtowers, dramatic cliffs, and hidden coves that can only be fully appreciated from the water. Along the way, enjoy swimming and snorkeling stops in crystal-clear bays, with equipment provided on board. Unlike many coastal boat trips, this experience also includes generous free time in both Amalfi and Positano (about 1.5 hours each). Explore the historic streets of Amalfi, relax on the beach, or stop for lunch before continuing the cruise toward Positano. Fresh fruit and a selection of drinks—including water, soft drinks, beer, prosecco, and limoncello—are served on board to complete a memorable day along one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines.

Itinerary
After departure from Salerno, the boat begins cruising west along the Amalfi Coast, offering panoramic views of the coastline as the city gradually fades behind us.
Pass the colorful town of Vietri sul Mare, famous worldwide for its traditional ceramics and considered the gateway to the Amalfi Coast.
Cruise past the fishing village of Cetara and the small seaside town of Erchie, where traditional boats, pastel houses, and a medieval watchtower overlook the coastline.
Continue along the coast past Maiori and Minori, where long beaches meet dramatic cliffs and terraced hillsides.
Our first stop ashore is Amalfi, one of Italy’s historic maritime republics. Enjoy approximately 2 hours of free time to explore the town, visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, swim or snorkel in the clear waters, relax on the beach, or enjoy a leisurely lunch (not included) in one of the restaurants around the lively main square.
Cruise past the famous Fiordo di Furore, a dramatic natural fjord carved into the cliffs and crossed by a high bridge, one of the most photographed spots along the Amalfi Coast.
Cruise past Conca dei Marini, a picturesque seaside village known for its dramatic cliffs, seaside villas, and the famous Emerald Grotto nearby.
Continue along the coast past Praiano, a quiet fishing village perched on the cliffs and known for its beautiful views of the Amalfi Coast.
Arrive in Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. Enjoy approximately 1 hour of free time to explore the town, wander through its vertical streets, browse artisan boutiques, relax by the beach, and swim or snorkel in the clear waters.

Our guide, the captain, the service, knowledge, comfort, punctuality, quality all second to none, fantastic day on the water (and land)!
The tour was amazing i had the time of my life meeting new people and the guides we so fun and nice would highly recommend.
We spent the previous 5 days walking all over Rome, Florence, Naples and Pompeii. We needed a tour off our feet that would provide us with an amazing view and added fun. THIS WAS PERFECT! We spent the night in Salerno and got up early the next morning and spent the next 8 hours with our tour group enjoying the sights of the Amalfi Coast. Palo and Georgia were amazing. We had a great group ... there was 11 total. Palo was a very skilled boat Captain and the ride was very pleasant. Georgia had a bubbly personality as she told us about different places along our tour. We stopped a couple times to swim in the cool, refreshing Mediterranean Sea and spent time in Amalfi and Positano. It was a great way to visit those towns and there's nothing like being out to Sea looking in at the beautiful coast.
The scenery was fantastic, the Captain was very knowledgeable and friendly.
An incredible way to experience the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. We did the 8 hour tour from Salerno to Amalfi and Positano with 2 snorkeling stops in between and we loved every moment. Great crew, lovely company, plenty of drinks and picture perfect scenery. The price is reasonable and the positive reviews are spot on. This excursion sells out for a reason so do yourself a favor and book it. You (and your travel companions) will be very glad you did. Enjoy!
Amazing experience. Guides were knowledgeable about the area and extremely friendly. Adequate time to have a nice meal and walk around during the stop in Amalfi. Would definitely book again.
Excellent tour, amazing customer service and very beautiful sight seeing. The water was great and refreshing. The captain and the tour guide were very friendly and assisted us with our special needs son. I highly recommend this for a family.
Our boat day was June 5th, leaving from Salenero and it was absolutely fantastic! The captain and staff (apologies forgot their names) were very hospitable, fun and knowledgeable. The tour along the coast, the food, drinks were all beautiful… anyone visiting Cetera, I highly recommend this tour. 10/10
My friend and I had an amazing time on this boat tour. Captain Nick and Emanuella did an amazing job showing us the coast and making sure we had a good time. I really appreciated how Emanuella talked about the history of certain spots and what the spots actually were. It made the boat ride very interesting! I also appreciated their hospitality with the snacks and drinks, as well as the towels they let us borrow since we didn’t have any. Overall this was an amazing experience and I’ll be recommending it to family members and friends if they visit Salerno in the future. One thing to note is that I definitely recommend getting lunch in Amalfi rather than Positano. The food in Amalfi is great and a lot cheaper than Positano.
Excellent tour, I highly recommend it! The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming. A special thank you to Gine and Gian Paolo, who were excellent hosts and made the experience even better. The boat was impeccable: everything was clean, tidy, and very well organised. Water, soft drinks, and beers were available on board, and they also offered Prosecco and limoncello, which was a lovely touch. We swam in incredible spots, and both Amalfi and Positano were absolutely beautiful. Gine also shared interesting stories about the area, which made the tour even more special. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you are travelling alone. Thank you to all the staff!
