Bay of Ieranto, Positano and Amalfi Full-Day Boat Tour with Transfers
Sail the most storied coastline in Italy, from a mythic bay to the pearl of the Amalfi Coast.
This Amalfi Coast boat tour traces one of the most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean coastline, combining the unspoiled Bay of Ieranto, the historic city of Amalfi, and the cliff-side village of Positano into a single seamless full-day experience. Hotel pickup and return transfer are included, so guests can focus entirely on the sea and the scenery. Rated easy in difficulty, the tour is well suited to a wide range of travellers.
Departing from Piano di Sorrento, the boat heads south along the Sorrentine Peninsula, passing the historic Bagni della Regina Giovanna before reaching the Bay of Ieranto within the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area. This protected inlet, set directly across from the sea stacks of Capri, offers crystalline water for swimming and snorkelling in a landscape that has inspired myth and legend since antiquity.
The route then continues east along the Amalfi Coast, taking in the Li Galli Islands, Nerano, Praiano, the narrow Fiordo di Furore gorge, and the celebrated Emerald Grotto before the boat docks in Amalfi. After free time in Amalfi and Positano, guests return to Sorrento in the afternoon with a tasting of traditional limoncello on board.

Itinerary
The day begins with a hotel pickup or a meeting point transfer to the port of Piano di Sorrento, where the boat is boarded and the coastal journey begins.
The boat sails along the Sorrento coastline past Marina Grande and the Bagni della Regina Giovanna before reaching the Bay of Ieranto. Guests have time to swim and snorkel in this protected marine area, set opposite the sea stacks of Capri.
Continuing east, the route passes the Li Galli Islands, Nerano, Praiano, the Fiordo di Furore, and the Emerald Grotto. A second swimming stop is made along the way, and complimentary snacks and drinks are served on board.
One to two hours of free time allow guests to explore the historic centre of Amalfi, including its cathedral and harbour district, at their own pace.
The boat calls at Positano, granting one to two hours to walk the characteristic stepped streets, visit local shops, or simply take in the views of the pastel-coloured buildings cascading toward the sea.
The afternoon return cruise from Positano to Piano di Sorrento includes a tasting of traditional limoncello. On arrival at the port, the included transfer returns guests to their hotel.
