Semir was an exceptionally skilled captain and made our private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast everything I had hoped the day would be! He picked us up right at the dock in Praiano and was friendly, knowledgeable, and simply wonderful to spend the day with. The boat was perfect for the two of us, with plenty of room to relax in the shade or stretch out in the sun on the cushions at the front. Semir had fresh fruit, water, beer, and Prosecco waiting for us, and he even shared a lovely white wine from Sardinia, his hometown. Such a thoughtful and personal touch! He seemed to know exactly when it was time to stop for a swim. Swimming in the Mediterranean was incredible—the higher salinity makes you wonderfully buoyant! He also took us to a beautiful beach that is only accessible by boat, something we never would have experienced on our own. For lunch, we stopped at a local seaside restaurant, where I ordered the fish of the day—red snapper—fried at our waiter’s recommendation, with zucchini and a local white wine. The whole fish was lightly fried without breading, leaving the meat perfectly cooked and tender and the skin crisp and flavorful. Absolutely amazing. After lunch, we were back on the boat and continued on toward Positano. The entire day felt relaxed and unhurried, and Semir tailored the trip to what we wanted rather than following a rigid itinerary. One practical tip: I recommend taking a non-drowsy motion sickness medication beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness. The Mediterranean can be quite choppy. I took mine that morning and had no issues at all throughout the day. A private tour is certainly more expensive, but for us, it was completely worth it. There were no crowds or other guests to contend with, we could spend the day exactly as we wanted, and Semir made the entire experience feel personal and special. It was truly one of the highlights of our Amalfi Coast trip, and I would recommend Semir without hesitation.

Description
The most peaceful and authentic way to experience the Amalfi Coast. Join us aboard our Classic Sorrentine Gozzo 26-foot boat or our Ferretti 38-foot boat and spend the day discovering one of the world's most beautiful coastlines with an Italian captain. We believe that the best boat tours are not about rushing from one stop to another, but about enjoying the sea, relaxing, and creating beautiful memories. Cruise along the coast while enjoying fresh fruit, chilled Prosecco, snacks, and cold drinks. Swim, explore hidden grottoes, and discover marine life with our snorkeling masks and floating noodles. Admire breathtaking views from the water and learn about the charming coastal villages. If you wish, you can spend some free time exploring one of the towns along the way. Stop for lunch at a seaside restaurant of your choice, accessible only by water. Both boats are equipped with a restroom. We'll be happy to share our favorite spots and help you make the most of your day on the water!

Itinerary
One of the most pinturesque towns on the Amalfi Coast, Minori captures the essence of Mediterranean charm, inviting travelers to savor its laid-back atmosphere and indulge in the simple pleasures of Italian coastal life.
Maiori is surrounded by terraced hillsides which are often cultivated with lemon groves, vineyards, and gardens. The terraces not only contribute to the scenic beauty of Maiori but also serve as a traditional method of farming on the steep slopes of the coastline, allowing locals to cultivate crops in this challenging terrain. Admire one of the biggest caves on the Coast, Pandora's Grotto, and the longest beach on the Amalfi Coast.
Discover the famous town of Fiordo di Furore, where the main coastal state road creates a scenic 30 mts high bridge that has been chosen for years by the Marmeeting to carry out the spectacular diving championship.
Check out the amazing Borgo Santa Andrea Luxury Hotel and the Saracens Towers. Collect some interesting historical facts.
Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast, enchants visitors with its colorful cliffside buildings, cascading down towards the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea. From the sea, tourists are treated to a mesmerizing sight as they approach the village, with pastel-hued houses seemingly stacked upon one another, creating a postcard-perfect panorama against the backdrop of rugged cliffs and lush greenery. The iconic dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta stands out amidst the picturesque landscape, adding to the charm of this coastal paradise. As the boat glides closer to shore, visitors can admire the bustling beachfront lined with vibrant umbrellas and sunbathers, while the scent of lemon groves and bougainvillea fills the air. With its dramatic beauty and timeless allure, Positano captivates the hearts of all who behold it from the sea.
The tiniest Italian village, quietly tucked away yet gracing countless postcards. Whether bathed in the golden light of sunrise or illuminated by the warm hues of sunset, the view of Atrani from the sea is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to behold it.
Embark on a journey to uncover the charm of one of the world's most stunning towns, Amalfi once the bustling main port of Southern Italy, where history, beauty, and coastal splendor intertwine

This was by far the BEST day trip we did on the coast. Samir was an amazing Captain! He was knowledgeable and showed us all the sights. He knew a great spot for lunch as well. Our family of 7 fit well and our 3 kids had a wonderful day. I would 100% recommend booking this tour!! Worth it!
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The staff was amazing and shared so much interesting information about all the beautiful towns along the Amalfi Coast. The boat was spacious and perfect for our family of four, making the entire day comfortable and relaxing. We stopped in Positano to explore the town and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a restaurant right next to the sea! One thing we especially appreciated was how convenient everything was from our cruise ship. It was a short walk to the boat, and they made sure we were back with plenty of time to board. This was hands down our favorite experience in Italy and one we would do again over and over. 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. We will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Veronica!! It was truly a pleasure having your family on board and showing you the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the day and the comfort of the boat. Knowing that everything felt easy and relaxing for you means a lot to us. Thank you again for choosing us during your trip to Italy. We really hope to welcome you back one day!
Boat trip on the Amalfi coast was so worth it. Lucia was easy to correspond with : no language barrier. Semir was our skipper and took us swimming and to a restaurant Santa Groc only accessible by boat.
Semir was amazing! I would make a suggestion to not sit down for lunch at a busy restaurant and waste two hours off the water. My understanding is they can order food for you to take away. We learned a lot and got to see a lot. Thank you guys for the wonderful and beautiful day.
Excellent experience with Lucia and Semir - both very friendly, friendly and caring for us to make everything perfect - an unforgettable family experience - there were six of us and we had a great time- we preferred to go with the larger boat and it was a good decision as we had space and options for the eight hours of the ride - we had great hosts!!!
Amazing experience! Super loving and attentive Lucia and Semir. We sailed along the Amalfi Coast for 8 hours. We were served drinks, fruit and snacks. Towels and antipararas for diving. I highly recommend it!
The best experience ever ❤️ the body is beautiful and the Service just perfect! Lucia and Semir are supper friendly and profesional! You must come with them of you want to feel in a movien
Thank you so much for your review Martu! It has been special taking you SailingAround the Amalfi Coast. Hope to see you all back soon!
We had a lovely day exploring the Amalfi coast from Positano. Our Captain was Samir and he was kind and friendly and was very happy to tailor the day for us. We stopped at a nice lunch spot with delicious fish dishes. We made several swim stops along the coast past Amalfi, Priano, Maiori. The boat was very nice and clean and we had light snacks and beverages. It was a lovely day.
Thank you Marlene for such a detailed review! Semir will be so happy to read it. We wish you and your family all the best. Arrivederci!
What an amazing day! The staff made the trip truly unforgettable with their attentive and caring service. We spent the day cruising the sea, stopping for lunch at a historic, exclusive restaurant, and discovering incredible beaches with crystal-clear water. Honestly, if I could, I would do this every day of the summer!
Oh thank you Marta!! Such an amazing review, we’re so happy you have enjoyed your day so much. Hope to have you all back soon on the Amalfi Coast! Un saluto speciale a Titi
