Sorrento and Amalfi Coast Full-Day Boat Tour
Sail the sapphire waters where towering cliffs meet ancient villages along one of Italy's most celebrated coastlines.
This Amalfi Coast boat tour from Sorrento takes you along a stretch of Italian coastline recognized worldwide for its dramatic scenery, historic maritime towns, and crystalline waters. Over eight hours, you travel by sea past landmarks that are rarely accessible by land, with time reserved for swimming, exploration, and relaxed moments on board.
Departing from the port of Piano di Sorrento, the route unfolds gradually, revealing fishing villages, Roman ruins, natural cascades, and hidden bays as the boat moves eastward toward Amalfi. The return leg passes through Positano, giving you time in both of the coast's most celebrated towns during the same day.
The experience is rated easy and suits a wide range of travelers, including those with no prior sailing experience. Snacks and drinks are provided during the journey, and a limoncello tasting marks the final leg back to Sorrento, offering a distinctly local conclusion to the day.
Tour Highlights
Navigate along the full Sorrento Peninsula and Amalfi Coast by private boat, with panoramic views of cliffs, grottos, and turquoise coves.
Explore the historic center of Amalfi, a former Maritime Republic, with one to two hours of free time ashore.
Walk the colorful lanes of Positano, the iconic clifftop village, with dedicated free time to discover its character independently.
Pass the island of Li Galli, the Fiordo di Furore, Praiano, and Nerano — landmarks that define the visual identity of this coastline.
Stop at selected coves for swimming and snorkeling in calm, clear Mediterranean waters during the outward journey.
Enjoy on-board snacks, refreshments, and a limoncello tasting on the return trip as part of the included experience.
Observe the ruins of a Roman villa at Bagni della Regina Giovanna and a natural waterfall emerging directly from the coastal rock face.
Itinerary
The day begins with a pick-up at your hotel or an agreed meeting point in the Sorrento area. A short transfer brings you to the port of Piano di Sorrento, where the boat awaits.
The boat departs and follows the Sorrento Peninsula eastward, passing Marina Grande, the Bagni della Regina Giovanna Roman ruins, a natural coastal waterfall, the bay of Ieranto, and eventually the island of Li Galli, Nerano, Praiano, and the Fiordo di Furore. Two swimming and snorkeling stops are included along this stretch, along with on-board snacks and drinks.
The boat docks at Amalfi, where one to two hours of free time allow you to walk through the historic center, visit the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, and take in the atmosphere of this ancient port town.
The return journey pauses at Positano, offering another one to two hours to explore the town's terraced streets, boutiques, and harbor. This is one of the most photographed villages on the entire Italian coast.
Departing Positano, a limoncello tasting is offered on board as the boat heads back west toward Piano di Sorrento. On arrival at the port, a transfer returns you to your hotel or the original meeting point.
