Sorrento Coast, Positano and Amalfi by Boat from Naples
A full-day private sea journey along Italy's most iconic coastline, stopping at Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi with a maximum of 12 guests aboard.
This Amalfi Coast boat tour from Naples takes you along one of the world's most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean shoreline, visiting three landmark towns in a single day while keeping group numbers to a maximum of twelve for a personal, unhurried experience.
Departing from Naples by modern boat, you reach Sorrento first, where dramatic cliffs frame views across the Bay of Naples and the scent of lemon groves drifts down from the terraced hillsides. The journey south from Sorrento to Amalfi unfolds the full panorama of two gulfs simultaneously, with the villages of Furore, Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Atrani, Minori, and Erchie passing in close succession along a rugged limestone shoreline.
A stop for swimming in the clear coastal water breaks up the passage between towns, and a complimentary aperitif is served on board. In Amalfi, the medieval Cathedral of Sant'Andrea and the Civic Museum inside the Palazzo Comunale offer a concentrated encounter with the city's layered history before the route continues to Positano.
Positano presents a stacked cluster of pastel buildings descending steeply to a pebble beach, anchored at its centre by Piazza Flavio Gioia and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta with its distinctive majolica dome and Byzantine Black Madonna. The town is a long-established centre for custom leather sandals and handmade linen, giving it a craft identity that distinguishes it from other coastal stops. The return leg to Sorrento is made by boat, with limoncello served as the coastline recedes in the afternoon light.

Cruise with a maximum of 12 guests aboard a modern boat, keeping the experience small-scale and flexible throughout the day.
Itinerary
The tour begins at the port of Naples, where guests board a modern boat designed for small groups. The vessel heads south along the coastline toward the Sorrento peninsula.
The first stop is Sorrento, positioned on clifftops above the Bay of Naples with sweeping views in both directions. Free time here allows for independent exploration of the town centre and its terraced gardens.
The boat departs Sorrento and travels along the full arc of the Amalfi Coast, passing Furore, Praiano, Conca dei Marini, Atrani, Minori, and Erchie. An aperitif is served on board and the boat pauses at a sheltered spot for a swim in the clear sea.
Landing in Amalfi, guests have time to visit the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, dating to the 6th century, and the Civic Museum housed in the Palazzo Comunale. The town's waterfront and side streets are also accessible on foot.
The route continues to Positano, where the hillside town descends to the sea in layers of coloured buildings. Key points of interest include Piazza Flavio Gioia, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, and the local artisan workshops.
In the early afternoon, the boat returns to Sorrento with limoncello served on the return passage. The tour concludes at Sorrento, from where guests can make their way independently back to Naples.
