The experience

The boat leaves Marina della Lobra in Massalubrense and heads toward the Amalfi Coast, passing through the marine protected area of Punta Campanella. Your first stop is Li Galli, a cluster of islands where you'll swim in open water and have time to float and sunbathe before the boat moves on. The guide points out Praiano as you approach the coast: a village where the water and landscape colors meet in a way that makes the photographs obvious.

You'll spend about 2 hours in Amalfi, where the guide gives you information on what to see but leaves the walking to you. The cathedral, the piazzas, the restaurants along the waterfront. You choose what matters. Then it's on to Positano for roughly 1.5 hours of the same kind of freedom. On the return journey, the boat slows down for another swimming stop, and this is when the prosecco, snacks, and water come out. Before you dock back at the marina, you taste the homemade limoncello. The kind made locally, not the bottled version from a supermarket shelf.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport to the marina. Lifejackets and assistance getting on and off the boat are provided. If you want to snorkel, towels and gear are available on request. The whole day runs 8 to 9 hours from pickup to return.
