The experience

The boat leaves Molo Manfredi at 9:15am with a welcome prosecco toast, then heads south along the coast. You'll sail past Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori and Minori (small seaside villages stacked into the cliffs) before reaching the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord carved deep into the rock with a picturesque bridge spanning high above the water and a hidden beach at its base. The skipper will stop at scenic spots along the way where you can swim in the clear water, away from the crowded beaches on shore.

Amalfi comes next, the historic maritime republic the coast is named after. You'll have time to visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, walk through the piazza, or sit at a café overlooking the sea. From there, the boat continues to Positano, where you can explore the narrow streets lined with boutiques, relax on the beach, or simply watch the water from a terrace. The crew serves a final surprise, limoncello, as you cruise back to Salerno, with the dramatic coastline framing the whole return. You're back at the port around 5pm.

A professional skipper and English-speaking hostess are on board for the full day. The boat is a traditional gozzo, and the group stays small at 12 people. Safety equipment, fuel, snacks and two bottles of water per person are included, along with a restroom on board. If you want to add snorkeling gear, you can choose that at checkout.
