Naples to Positano Private Boat Transfer by Gozzo

A scenic sea crossing between two of Italy's most celebrated coastal destinations, on board a classic Sorrento gozzo.


This private boat transfer Naples Positano offers a direct and comfortable sea connection between the two destinations, eliminating the stress of road traffic, crowded ferries, and unpredictable schedules. Travelling aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo, passengers enjoy a tailor-made service that adapts to their timetable and travel needs.

The Amalfi Coast road is one of the most scenic drives in Italy, but it is also one of the most congested during peak season. A private boat transfer cuts through that congestion entirely, replacing winding switchbacks and crowded buses with open water and coastal panoramas.

The Sorrento gozzo is a wooden inshore vessel with deep roots in the local maritime tradition. Its wide hull provides stability, and the covered seating area offers shelter when needed. The transfer can be operated in either direction, from Naples to Positano or from Positano back to Naples.
