Description

A boat tour of the Amalfi Coast will give you the opportunity to discover the Divine Coast in all its peculiar beauty and to discover inlets, grottoes and details that you would never be able to see from land. Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty. We will sail along the beautiful Amalfi coast, stopping at the most attractive bays to admire the inlets and grottos. Passing in front of Praiano, the fiord of Furore, Conca dei Marini where there is the Emerald Grotto (optional visit, entrance fee not included, to be paid on site) we will sail past Amalfi - the oldest Maritime Republic - towards Atrani, Minori and Maiori. Following this fascinating cruise, we will make a 2/3-hour stop to discover Amalfi town's charm at your own pace. The boat trip includes two swimming stops in the crystal-blue waters. And, while returning to our starting points, you will enjoy an aperitif on board!

Amazing Amalfi Coast Boat Tour

This tour was perfect! Exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to tour the Amalfi Coast and have the interesting homes and historical buildings pointed out, a chance to swim in the Mediterranean Sea, and especially a chance to photograph this incredibly captivating coastline. This tour delivered ideally on all of these points. Our tour guide and captain of the tour boat Denalo and Fabio were great. Both were lifelong residents of the Amalfi Coast area and were great at pointing out all of the interesting locations, and were able to answer all of our questions about locations that weren't specifically called out. I recorced over an hour of video, hundreds of photos, a huge percentage of which were panoramic photos, to remember this gorgeous coastline. The tour group was about 12 patrons, and we democratically decided on a few either/or options such as where we docked for lunch, and whether to wait to enter - for a fee - a protected grotto. Happily, we all agreed not to wait 45 minutes to enter the grotto and pay for the privilege. And we also chose to eat at a beach seafood restaurant, rather than going into the very crowded and extra touristy town of Amalfi. Throughout the day we were offered snacks and a nice variety of beverages; Water - still or sparkling, soft drinks, alcoholic canned beverages, the local signature cocktail - the Aperol Sprit as well as the Proseco, and of course, ever present on the coast - Limoncello. We stopped at about 5 places to swim in safe areas 50 - 200 feet off the shore in the crystal clear waters. The tour moved a great pace, never feeling pressed for time or dragging. This tour was an informative and relaxing, with fantastic, personable and knowledgeable tour guides, with nice amenities and really, just the best way to take in this amazing coastline. The very friendly and hospitable Denalo and Fabio were great co-stars, but the coast itself was clearly star was of this show. I can strongly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to be informed, entertained, and well-provisioned at a fair price.

Private Cruise along the Amalfi Coast

We had a lovely cruise along the coast with captain Samuele on what was apparently his maiden voyage with Plaghia Charter. Despite this being his first trip he was an experienced boater, very knowledgeable about the geography, pointing out hidden gems, local landmarks, private beaches, and grottoes and made a couple of pit stops to allow us to swim. Samuele was a great guide, funny, and attentive to all our requests. Thank you for a memorable day along the coast. We had a fantastic time!!!!

Private Boat Tour

We had a half day private tour with Samuele today. He was the best captain we have ever had. He took us all along the Almafi coast and made the day amazing. It was by far the best day of our trip. If you have an oppurtunity to book with him/this company we highly recommend. Thank you Samuele - Jake & Sana!

🌊 An Unforgettable Amalfi Coast Experience with Danilo 🚤

Huge shoutout to Danilo for an absolutely incredible experience along the Amalfi Coast! 🌊☀️ From the very beginning he was super accommodating, kind, professional, and made us feel completely taken care of. More than just a captain, he became our tour guide and gave us a true private Amalfi Coast experience on the boat. Everything was spectacular — the views, the stops, the attention to detail, and the way he made the entire day feel special and relaxing. Truly one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re looking for an unforgettable private boat experience, Danilo is the one. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The boat was beautiful,...

The boat was beautiful, the captain was great, overall it was perfect! We were picked up in Praiano and then did a slow drive along the coast to see Positano, Amalfi and Atrani. We stopped and jumped in and then had a couple hours in Amalfi.

Amalfi Experience

A nice casual and intimate look at the Amalfi Coast by water. Good amount of free time in Amalfi allows for shopping and lunch.
