Itinerary
Darsena pier in Amalfi is the starting location. Here you will board the boat and take off. You will stop to take photos of the town seen from the sea.
You will cruise towards Atrani, the smallest town of the Amalfi Coast, well known for the Marmorata waterfalls.
You will then pass by Conca dei Marini and admire its White Tower and Natural Arch. The boat will stop and you will have the chance to take a swim in the crystal clear waters.
Along the way, you will find the enchanting Grotta dello Smeraldo. Please note that the entrance ticket is not included in the tour price (approximately €10 per person), and the visit to the Emerald Grotto is optional, giving you the freedom to decide whether to explore its stunning interior. The grotto is not managed by our company but by an independent organization, Azienda Autonoma Soggiorno e Turismo di Amalfi. Tickets can be purchased directly on site, and the price may vary at their discretion. Guests who do not wish to visit the grotto can remain comfortably on board during the stop. During high season, waiting times may be longer, typically around 20–30 minutes or more. For this reason, the decision to visit the grotto is made collectively with all guests on board.
You will sail to the majestic Fjord of Furore, famous all over the world for being a UNESCO Heritage site. Its cliffs and the bridge above your head will enchant you.
Along the coast, you will encounter the tiny beach of Marina di Praia, a historic fishing village.
The next stop will be La Gavitella in Praiano. Here, you can enjoy lunch at La Gavitella Restaurant (not included in the tour price) or simply relax on the beach. The Restaurant cost typically ranges between €35 and €50 per person. Payments can be made directly at the restaurant by card (including American Express) or in cash. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options are also available. Please note that the restaurant option is available from May 14th to October 4th, 2026. During periods when the restaurant is not available, the stop in Positano will last approximately 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy lunch in town at your leisure.
After lunch, you will get on board again to continue the tour towards Positano, where you will have 1 hour of free time. Have a walk in the narrow lanes, do some shopping in the local boutiques, and admire the historical monuments such as the Roman Villa and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta.
After exploring Positano at your own pace, you will board the boat again for the return cruise to the historic Maritime Republic of Amalfi. Along the tour, there will be stops to swim and snorkel in the Mediterranean Sea. Masks and fins are provided on board.

5We recently took the...
We recently took the Small Group Amalfi Coast Day Tour with Positano Boats, and it was a memorable experience for our group. Our skipper, Sebastian, is an exceptionally skilled driver who navigated tight spaces and crowded areas between other boats with expert precision. The boat amenities were appreciated. The complimentary water, prosecco, limoncello, along with the provided towels were nice. The itinerary offered a great balance of swimming, and a self-guided hour of free time to explore Positano. Overall, it was a very safe and scenic day on the water.
5Great day! Our Captain...
Great day! Our Captain was very accommodating and informative always had refreshments available. Including wine,fresh fruit.
5Great time. Sometimes...
Great time. Sometimes hard to hear given it is a small boat but our captain was wonderful to repeat or answer any and all questions. Was a beautiful day on the water!
5Day Along the BEAUTIFUL Amalfi Coast with a wonderful skipper!!!
What a wonderful way to see the Amalfi Coast- from the water side. Our skipper/guide, Sebastian was AMAZING!! He shared all the pertinent, historical information as we sailed. He served us Prosecco, Limoncello, and delicious frozen melon. He offered us an opportunity to visit a Grotto (the majority did-it was worth the money), we swam in the Mediterranean Sea twice, we visited Positano for an hour, and the best part was our lunch was at a restaurant only reachable by boat that had the most amazing food and drinks! The boat was very comfortable, and my wife, who can become seasick, had NO ISSUES!! If you choose this tour it will be one of your highlights in Italy!!
5Great Trip
It’s a wonderful day a great itinerary! The boat was great, and the captain was wonderful! Something for everyone
5Sailing the day away
It was a perfect day sailing the Amalfi coast. Sebastian was just amaziing. He was very informative, gracious and fun. I highly recommend this tour with Sebastian spending a day sailing and swimming twice during the 7 hours tour. Money well spent

About Amalfi
Amalfi is a steep seaside town on Italy's Amalfi Coast, once a powerful medieval maritime republic, with a striped cathedral and lemon terraces above.
Amalfi tumbles down a narrow gorge to a small harbour. In the Middle Ages it was one of Italy's great maritime republics, trading across the Mediterranean, and the Duomo di Sant'Andrea, with its striped facade, bronze doors and cloister, recalls that wealth. A broad flight of steps climbs to the cathedral from the piazza, and lanes behind the main street are lined with shops selling lemon products and paper.
Top-ranked sights in Amalfi: Paper Museum (Museo della Carta), Arsenale di Amalfi.
