Private Gozzo Boat Transfer Between Sorrento and Amalfi
A dedicated, stress-free sea crossing along one of Italy's most dramatic coastlines
The private boat transfer from Sorrento to Amalfi aboard a traditional Sorrento gozzo offers a comfortable and direct connection between two of the Campania coast's most iconic destinations. No shared ferries, no queues, and no unnecessary stops — just a tailored service built around your schedule.
The gozzo is a classic wooden vessel native to the Sorrento peninsula, known for its sturdy build and suitability for coastal navigation. Travelling aboard one means experiencing the Gulf of Naples and the Amalfi Coast the way local mariners have for generations.
This service runs in both directions, making it equally practical whether you are departing from Sorrento or arriving from Amalfi. The journey covers approximately 85 minutes of open water, offering uninterrupted views of clifftop villages, rocky outcrops, and terraced gardens that define this UNESCO-listed coastline.
Travelling by private boat removes the logistical friction that often accompanies road or shared ferry transfers on the Amalfi Coast. Roads in the area are narrow and frequently congested, particularly during peak season, and this sea route offers a reliable alternative that also happens to be far more scenic.

How the Transfer Works
Passengers meet the boat crew at the designated port — either Sorrento Marina Piccola or the Amalfi harbour, depending on the direction of travel. The crew will be on hand to assist with boarding and luggage.
Once aboard the traditional gozzo, passengers are settled and briefed on the crossing. Life jackets and safety equipment are available on board as standard.
The vessel departs and follows the coastline, passing cliffs, coves, and coastal villages. Passengers are free to enjoy the views from the open deck throughout the crossing.
After approximately 85 minutes, the gozzo arrives at the destination harbour. The crew assists with disembarkation, and passengers are free to continue their itinerary independently.
