Tour Highlights
Cruise past Punta Campanella, the dramatic tip of the Sorrento Peninsula where a protected marine reserve meets sweeping views of Capri and the open sea.
Sail by the Li Galli Islands, the mythological home of the Sirens, whose crystal-clear surrounding waters and storied legends make them one of the coast's most intriguing landmarks.
Admire the ancient Villa of Pollio Felice near Sorrento, a remarkably preserved 1st-century BC Roman structure perched directly above the sea.
Pass through the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow cliff-carved inlet with turquoise waters and a picturesque stone bridge that has made it one of southern Italy's most photographed spots.
Explore Amalfi, a former maritime republic whose grand cathedral, lively piazza, and layered history give visitors a genuine sense of the town's enduring significance.
View Positano from the water, where the full cascade of pastel-colored houses, terraces, and domed churches presents a scene that photographs rarely capture in full.
Relax on board throughout the day with refreshments available, enjoying the Mediterranean sea breeze and the company of fellow travelers on a comfortable shared vessel.
Tour Itinerary
The tour begins near Sorrento with a view of this ancient Roman villa, built in the 1st century BC and positioned directly above the sea. The adjacent natural pool, known as the Queen Giovanna Baths, adds a scenic and historical dimension to the departure from shore.
Rounding the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula, the boat enters the waters of the Punta Campanella marine reserve, a protected zone offering clear views toward Capri. This stretch of coastline carries both ecological importance and a long history tied to ancient navigation routes.
The route passes the Li Galli archipelago, a cluster of small islands associated in classical mythology with the Sirens of Homer's Odyssey. The surrounding water is exceptionally clear, and the islands' remote setting gives them a timeless, undisturbed quality.
The Fiordo di Furore is a narrow gorge cut into the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, accessible only from the sea. A stone arch bridge spans the inlet above, and the combination of geology, color, and scale makes this one of the most striking natural features along the entire coastline.
The boat docks at Amalfi, offering time to visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, walk the historic center, and experience the atmosphere of a town that once rivaled Venice and Genoa as a Mediterranean trading power. The stop provides a balance of structured sightseeing and free exploration.
The final major destination is Positano, best appreciated from the water before the boat draws closer to shore. The vertical arrangement of its buildings, the color of its facades, and the geometry of its churches make it visually distinct from any other village on the coast.
