Private Gozzo Boat Transfer Between Sorrento and Positano

A dedicated sea transfer connecting two of the Amalfi Coast's most iconic destinations — on your schedule, in total comfort.


This private boat transfer Sorrento to Positano puts you aboard a classic Sorrento gozzo, a traditional wooden vessel well suited to the calm and crystalline waters of the Gulf of Naples. The service is fully dedicated to your group, meaning no shared schedules, no crowded ferries, and no unnecessary stops.

Traveling by sea between Sorrento and Positano offers perspectives of the coastline that are simply not available from the road. Steep cliffs, hidden coves, and the pastel-colored facades of Positano viewed from the water make the journey itself a highlight of any Amalfi Coast itinerary.

The route operates in both directions, giving you the flexibility to depart from either town. Whether you are arriving in Positano for a stay or heading back to Sorrento after a visit, the service adapts to your travel plan rather than the other way around.

A private gozzo is a practical and scenic alternative to the winding coastal roads, particularly during peak summer months when traffic on the Amalfi Drive can add significant time to any journey. The sea crossing typically takes around one hour under normal conditions.

How the Transfer Works

1
Meeting at the Departure Marina

Your private gozzo will be waiting at the agreed marina in either Sorrento or Positano. The crew will assist with boarding and any luggage you are bringing aboard.

Once underway, the boat heads along the coastline toward your destination. The skipper follows standard maritime routes with passenger safety as the priority.

3
