Li Galli's legendary islets and hidden coves, all to yourself on the water.

A private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast departing from Sorrento, Positano or Naples, where you cruise past Roman ruins, Saracen towers and three tiny islands while stopping to swim, snorkel and explore coastal villages on your own schedule. The skipper speaks English, handles all navigation and timing, and the boat holds a maximum of 12 passengers — your group alone. Hotel pickup is included from Sorrento; from Positano and Naples, the skipper meets you at the port.

The Experience

The day starts from your chosen departure point — Sorrento, Positano or Naples — and the route unfolds as a series of stops you shape yourself. The skipper navigates an elegant Gozzo along the coast, passing the ruins of a Roman villa near Bagni della Regina Giovanna, Punta Campanella's Marine Reserve and a historic Saracen tower. The boat then moves through the Bay of Ieranto and Bay of Nerano, where tiny coves and cliffs line one of Italy's most striking gulfs.

Swimming happens at multiple points along the way — you choose where and how long to stay in the water. The Li Galli Islets, a three-island archipelago where legend places the Sirens, anchor the middle of the day; you can swim here or simply float and look. Positano comes next, its chic shops and restaurants open to you if you want to step ashore, or you can stay aboard. Amalfi, described as the true pearl of the coast, is another village you visit or skip depending on the day's rhythm.

Lunch happens at a restaurant along the coast — you choose which one and what to eat. Wine, beer, prosecco, water and snacks are on board throughout. The return to port includes time to relax with a glass of prosecco the skipper provides. The whole outing runs eight hours from departure to arrival back at your starting point.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to set your own pace along the coast — you choose which villages to visit, how long to stay at each cove, and where to swim, rather than following a fixed schedule with other groups. The private Gozzo and small group size mean you're never waiting for a crowd or moving on before you're ready.
