Private Scenic Boat Tour from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi
Sail the legendary coastline in complete privacy, from ancient Roman ruins to the cliffs of Positano.
This private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast takes you through some of southern Italy's most celebrated seascapes, from the ancient ruins of Sorrento's peninsula to the pastel facades of Positano and the historic port of Amalfi.
Departing from Sorrento, the route traces a coastline shaped by centuries of history, mythology, and natural drama. You will pass landmarks that range from Roman-era villas to medieval watchtowers, with the sea always at the center of the experience.
The private format allows you to move at your own pace, linger at the spots that capture your attention, and enjoy the journey without the constraints of a shared itinerary. A taste of local limoncello on board adds a genuine note of regional culture to the day.
The Amalfi Coast is best understood from the water, where the true scale of its cliffs and the layered texture of its villages become fully visible. This tour is designed to deliver exactly that perspective.
Tour Highlights
Sail past the ruins of the Villa of Pollio Felice, a 1st-century BC Roman villa set above a natural sea pool on the Sorrento Peninsula.
Round Punta Campanella, the dramatic headland where the Gulf of Naples meets the Gulf of Salerno, with Capri visible across the channel.
Pass the Li Galli Islands, the mythological home of the Sirens, rising from crystal-clear waters between Positano and Capri.
View Positano from the sea, where its cascade of pastel buildings and golden beaches form one of the Mediterranean's most iconic panoramas.
Discover the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord carved between towering cliffs, with a hidden beach and an arched bridge high above.
Approach Amalfi by sea and admire the Cathedral of St. Andrew above the town square of the former maritime republic.
Enjoy a serving of local limoncello on board as a genuine introduction to the flavors of southern Italy's Campania region.
Tour Itinerary
The tour begins along the rocky promontory of the Sorrento Peninsula, where the ruins of a 1st-century BC Roman villa overlook a natural pool connected to the sea through a carved arch in the cliff. The site combines Roman history, natural beauty, and local legend in a single, compact setting.
At the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, Punta Campanella marks the boundary between two gulfs and offers a direct view of Capri across the channel. The headland is a protected natural reserve and the site of a medieval watchtower built over what legend describes as an ancient temple to Athena.
A small cluster of uninhabited islands between Positano and Capri, Li Galli carries one of the oldest legends of the Mediterranean: the home of the Sirens from Greek mythology. The islands can only be seen from the water, and their clear surroundings and the traces of elegant villas make them a quietly remarkable stop.
Positano is viewed from the sea, revealing the full sweep of its stacked pastel buildings, beaches, and the terraced landscape behind the town. Once a fishing village, it is now among the most recognized coastal destinations in the world, and the seaward perspective remains the most complete way to take it in.
The Fiordo di Furore is a narrow inlet cut into the cliffs over centuries, sheltering a small beach and a cluster of fishermen's houses between vertical rock walls. A stone arch bridge crosses far above, and the combination of geological drama and human habitation makes this one of the coast's most singular sights.
The tour concludes at Amalfi, the town that gives the coast its name and once stood as one of the Mediterranean's most powerful trading republics. From the water, the Cathedral of St. Andrew and the layered architecture of the town are visible in their full coastal setting.
