Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Boat Experience from Naples

Discover the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast from the water, with stops in Positano and Amalfi


A full-day Amalfi Coast boat tour offers a perspective of this iconic UNESCO-listed coastline that no road trip can match, revealing secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and charming coastal towns accessible only by sea.

Departing from Naples with a minivan transfer to the port, guests board a boat and begin navigating one of the most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean coastline. Along the 50-kilometre route, the scenery shifts continuously between limestone headlands, pastel-colored villages, and crystal-clear water.

The itinerary includes two meaningful land stops in Amalfi and Positano, each offering enough time to walk through the historic centers, browse local shops, or simply sit at a terrace and absorb the atmosphere. Between these visits, the boat pauses at open-water spots suited for swimming and snorkeling.

On the return leg from Positano, guests are invited to a limoncello tasting on board, a fitting way to close a day spent along the Campanian coast before the minivan transfer back to the meeting point in Naples.

Tour Highlights

Navigate 50 kilometres of UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast shoreline from the comfort of a private boat.

Pass by the island of Li Galli, Nerano, Praiano, and the striking Furore Fjord during the coastal cruise.

Explore Positano and Amalfi on foot with one to two hours of free time in each town.

Swim and snorkel at pristine beach stops along the coast, away from crowded tourist areas.

Enjoy complimentary snacks, drinks, and a limoncello tasting included during the boat journey.

Round-trip minivan or minibus transfers from Naples included for a seamless travel experience.
