Luxury Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast
Sail the most breathtaking coastline in the Mediterranean aboard a private Shamal 40 yacht
A private boat tour from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast offers an entirely different perspective on one of Italy's most celebrated seascapes, placing you at water level as pastel-colored villages emerge from sheer limestone cliffs above the sparkling Mediterranean.
The seven-hour journey aboard the Shamal 40 is fully private, meaning the route, pace, and swimming stops are shaped entirely around your group. A complimentary shuttle from your hotel in the Sorrento area removes any logistical guesswork before you even step on board.
From the historic port of Amalfi to hidden coves reachable only by sea, the itinerary covers landmarks that few travellers access from land. This is the coastline as it was designed to be experienced — quietly, privately, and at your own rhythm.
Tour Highlights
Sail from Sorrento along the full length of the Amalfi Coastline aboard an exclusive private yacht.
Multiple swimming and snorkeling stops in crystal-clear Mediterranean waters at secluded coves.
Discover the Li Galli Islands, a protected archipelago with a striking silhouette steeped in local legend.
Explore Positano's iconic vertical village, narrow lanes, boutique shops, and handcrafted sandal workshops.
Visit the medieval town of Amalfi, home to a striking cathedral and a labyrinth of atmospheric alleyways.
Admire the Furore Fjord, a narrow cliffside inlet with a small beach that is inaccessible except by sea or steep stairs.
Fully customizable itinerary — adjust stops and timing to match your group's preferences throughout the day.
Itinerary
Your journey starts at one of several ports in the Sorrento area, reached easily via the included hotel shuttle. Once on board the Shamal 40, the crew will brief you on the day ahead before casting off along the peninsula's southern shore.
The yacht passes the quiet fishing village of Nerano, nestled at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula and known for its clear anchorage. Punta Campanella marks the symbolic gateway between the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi Coast proper.
The Li Galli archipelago rises from the sea in a shape that local legend compares to a mermaid's tail, and the waters around it are calm and exceptionally clear. Continuing east, the boat reaches Positano, where time on shore or at anchor can be spent exploring the village or swimming below the colourful clifftop houses.
The Furore Fjord is one of the coast's best-kept secrets — a dramatic cleft in the rock face sheltering a 25-metre pebble beach invisible from the road above. A brief stop here allows for a swim or photographs in a setting rarely seen by land-based visitors.
The historic republic of Amalfi is the final major stop, offering time to walk through its medieval lanes, visit the Duomo di Sant'Andrea, and absorb the layered history of this once-powerful maritime state. The town is compact enough to explore meaningfully within a short visit.
The return leg follows the coastline back west, giving passengers a second pass at the scenery in different afternoon light. Additional swimming stops can be arranged based on time and preference before docking at the departure port.
