Discover the best of the Amalfi Coast and not to be missed highlights on a private boat excursion. This is a great option as well if you are in port on a cruise ship and have one day to really experience all that the coast has to offer. See the coastline through the eyes of a local with your own private boat and captain, swim in the various inlets and bays and check out the natural formations and grottos. The private excursion can customized by allocating the time you have based on what you are most interested in seeing along the itinerary.
Your day begins by meeting your boat and captain at the Salerno tourist port near Piazza della Concordia and the lungomare (waterfront) of Salerno.
Ceramics, ceramics, ceramics! Vietri is the top producer of the famous Amalfi Coast ceramics. It is a colorful town bordering the city of Salerno.
Cetara is the village where the pirates chose to make their base when invading the Amalfi Coast in the 9th century. The village is most known for its fish dishes, specifically tuna and anchovies, recognized throughout all of Italy and now the world
Legend says that Erchie was founded by Hercules when he arrived in Italy from Greece. It is a tranquil place to stop for a swim
A large beach and sidewalk, (called "lungomare", meaning” along the sea" in Italian) full of shops and cafes. Also stop at Pandora's Grotto, an enchanting natural sea cave.
Stop for free time in Minori if you would like to see the ruins of an ancient Roman villa or stop for something sweet from the famous Sal de Riso bakery.
Stop to swim or simply admire from the boat, a natural waterfall flowing from the mountains into the sea. It was once the energy source of an old paper mill, as Amalfi was known for its paper making back in the 13th century.
The smallest village in all of Italy, a quaint cobblestone piazzetta with a small fountain surrounded by lovely cafes and a spacious beach.
You will cruise along the heart of this impressive coastline, stopping at the villages of your choice, swimming, sea caves, and more. Hungry? At lunchtime the boat can pull into one of the family owned seaside restaurants. After enjoying a local lunch, re-board to continue the excursion. Expect a fun and relaxing day!
Enjoy a swim in a beautiful bay under the former villa of Sophia Loren and stop to enjoy the beach where Jackie Kennedy spent her days while vacationing on the coast. This is village was voted to be in the top 100 most beautiful Italian villages.
Stop for a tour inside this large grotto on the Amalfi Coast known for its emerald green water. (Visiting the grotto is optional and the entrance fee is not included in this excursion.)
A small, secluded inlet carved into towering cliffs. Above the fiord is an impressive stone arch bridge, part of the coastal road that connects Amalfi and Positano, providing stunning views down into the cove. Tiny fishermen’s houses, painted in bright colors, are scattered along the rocks, adding to the picturesque setting and hinting at the area's past as a working fishing village.
See the charming Marina di Praia beach near Praiano, which is also one of the points you can depart from on this excursion.
Stop for free time in Positano if you would like to stroll along the beach, visit the town's lovely church, or enjoy a bit of shopping.
The beach near Positano is Tordigliano—secluded, natural, and only reachable by boat or a steep path. Quiet and perfect for a swim.

It was one of the most incredible days in the Italy. I got to swim several times. I felt relaxed and not rushed. Luigi was very kind, informative and made the day wonderful. Loved the Prosecco and snacks. I loved shopppng in Almafi and getting lunch on the beach. Really it was a perfect day. Thank you for making our trip and say so special.
Private boat tour around Capri with Exclusive Cruises — lunch, swimming, and Grotto stops. Our captain, Andrea Esposito, made it: knowledgeable, attentive, and great at finding quiet spots away from the crowds. The Grottos were stunning, all shifting blues and light bouncing off the water and cave walls — genuinely magical. Swim stops were in perfect, crystal-clear water, and lunch was relaxed with a gorgeous backdrop. If you want a boat tour that feels personal rather than a big group excursion, book with Exclusive Cruises and ask for Andrea. Highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing! It was our favorite excursion. Francesco was the best! The boat was beautiful, lunch recommendation was fabulous. The history and guide he provided was so great. Exceeded our expectations. The best tour, with a professional, highly responsive and helpful company.
We had a fantastic time cruising the Amalfi coast with Exclusive charters. Our guide Luigi picked us up right next to our hotel and masterfully took the classic Italian boat along the coast to various swimming spots and points of interests. They booked us a great lunch spot as well. I highly recommend this is the best way to see the coast and stay cool in the hot summer.
The boat was clean, neat and large just what we were looking for. This definitely was the highlight of our weeks stay. We highly recommend Francesco has his captain ship was above board and his knowledge was vast. His character is excellent and he knows everyone on the waterways. We plan to come back next year and we definitely will do this again with Francesco as our Capitano.
This was the ultimate way to experience Amalfi! The planning was seamless. Flora reached out the day before to insure that all last minute details were buttoned up. Francesco, our skipper was highly skilled, informative and entertaining! I cannot recommend Exclusive Cruises and the beautiful Again boat more highly! An u forgettable experience!!
This boat tour was amazing! Luigi made our tour very enjoyable. We were able to do everything we wanted in a fun and relaxed way. I would definitely recommend this tour and Luigi as a guide. The boat was very clean as well. They provided towels and cold drinks. Will be rebooking in the future!
Thank you for the lovely feedback! We truly enjoyed having you on board and hope to welcome you back soon. -Exclusive Cruises Team
We had the most beautiful and fun days aboard our premium boat with Francisco! The views were spectacular! Francisco is an expert captain with lots of interesting knowledge about all of the towns that make up the Amalfi coast. This was the best thing we did during our 12 day tour of Europe.
Amazing experience, the captain was very professional took us to multiple locations and showed us different historical spots. Valeria also accommodated our request in a short notice.
Fantastic experience! The tour exceeded our expectations. Francesco was an excellent captain: very experienced, attentive and always concerned about providing the best places to appreciate the landscape and enjoy the day. Valeria was also impeccable, organizing everything with a lot of professionalism from the first contact. We recommend this experience without any doubt. It was one of the most special moments of our trip to the Amalfi Coast!
