Private Boat Transfer
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.

This transfer connects Naples, the historic capital of Campania on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Naples, with Positano, the iconic cliffside village on the Amalfi Coast in the Province of Salerno. The sea route travels south from Naples past the Sorrentine Peninsula, with Vesuvius visible to the east and the island of Capri to the southwest. Positano is located within the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast, one of Italy's most visited coastal landscapes. The overland alternative via the SS163 Amalfitana road is frequently congested, making the sea route a practical and scenic alternative for travellers.
