Private Boat Tour from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi by Classic Gozzo 750
Sail the Amalfi Coast in total privacy aboard a traditional wooden gozzo.
This private boat tour Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi offers an unhurried, fully customizable journey along one of the most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean coastline, seen entirely from the water. With a complimentary shuttle from your Sorrento hotel and a classic Gozzo 750 at your disposal, comfort and flexibility are built into every hour.
Departing from the Sorrento peninsula, the route traces the dramatic boundary where the calm Bay of Naples meets the wilder Amalfi Coast, revealing sea caves, hidden coves, and cliffside villages that are simply inaccessible by road. Multiple swimming and snorkeling stops allow you to experience the water temperature, color, and clarity that photographers struggle to capture.
Positano and Amalfi town anchor the itinerary, but the journey between them holds equal rewards: the tiny Furore Fjord, the protected Li Galli archipelago, and the headland of Punta Campanella, where the Sorrento Peninsula meets the open Tyrrhenian Sea. The crew adapts the pace and the stops to what you want on the day.

Itinerary
A complimentary shuttle collects you from your hotel in the Sorrento area and transfers you to the departure port. The captain briefs the group on the day's route and confirms any personal preferences before casting off.
The boat rounds the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula at Punta Campanella, the symbolic gateway to the Amalfi Coast. You pass the quiet village of Nerano, perched above a small bay known for clear water and local fishing traditions.
The protected Li Galli archipelago appears offshore, its three islets arranged in a shape that local legend links to mermaids. This is a favored spot for the first swimming stop, with calm, sheltered water and good visibility for snorkeling.
The boat anchors off Positano, and passengers may go ashore to explore the vertical village, its boutique-lined lanes, and the beach below the church. Time on land is flexible and adjusted to the group's pace.
A brief detour brings the boat into the narrow cleft of the Furore Fjord, one of the coast's most photographed natural features. The 25-meter beach at the base is accessible only from the water, making it an exclusive stop on this private tour.
The journey concludes in Amalfi town, where passengers can visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, explore the narrow medieval alleys, and enjoy the atmosphere of the coast's historic maritime capital before the return transfer.
