Boat and dinghy rental in Cetara: Explore the Amalfi Coast by sea

Steer your own route along the Amalfi Coast from Cetara

Rent a speedboat or dinghy from Cetara on the Amalfi Coast for a full day at sea, no nautical license required. Just boating experience. You navigate the coast yourself, stopping at coves, beaches, caves and waterfalls between Cetara and Positano. Snorkeling equipment, towels and ice for drinks are included. The rental office staff advise on the best stops before you depart.

The experience

You arrive at the rental office in Cetara ready to spend the day on water. The boat (a speedboat or dinghy) is yours to pilot, and you'll need only prior boating experience, not a formal nautical license. The staff walk you through the possibilities: the entire Amalfi Coast unfolds within reach of a single day's travel, from Cetara itself south through Erchie, Maiori, Minori, Atrani and Amalfi, then west to the Fjord of Furore, Praiano and Positano. They point out the hidden stops (the snorkeling beaches, the sea caves, the waterfalls), and you choose which ones to chase.

The boat carries snorkeling equipment, towels and ice for drinks, so you can anchor at a cove and slip into the water without planning a thing. The coast moves past you at your own pace: no fixed itinerary, no group schedule, no traffic on the road above. You might spend an hour at one beach or push on to the next cave. Lunch is on you (the staff can suggest restaurants along the way), but the freedom to linger or move on stays yours for the full seven hours.
