Amalfi Coast Private Boat Tour: Sorrento, Capri, Positano and Amalfi by Sea
Discover the Amalfi Coast from the water — away from the crowds and into the heart of the Mediterranean.
This Amalfi Coast private boat tour offers a rare perspective on one of Italy's most iconic coastlines, taking you by sea to Sorrento, Capri, Positano, the Emerald Grotto, and Amalfi over the course of a full 8-hour day.
Rather than navigating the coast's famously congested roads, you drift along crystalline Mediterranean waters, arriving at legendary destinations from the sea — the angle that reveals their true character. The crew greets you with seasonal fruits, fresh drinks, and a glass of prosecco, setting a welcoming tone from the first moment.
An escort fluent in English or Spanish accompanies the journey throughout, sharing historical context and local knowledge that deepens your understanding of the landscapes passing by. Swimming stops in the open sea allow you to experience the Mediterranean first-hand, turning a sightseeing tour into something genuinely memorable.
