Boat Rental Amalfi Coast: No License or with Skipper

New boats, your choice of captain. You or a pro.

Rent a Cayman 585 speedboat on the Amalfi Coast with or without a skipper, accommodating up to eight passengers on boats built in 2022. Choose to pilot the boat yourself without a license or hire a professional skipper. Both options let you visit Amalfi, Positano and other coastal spots over a full day on the water. Fuel is calculated separately at the end of the rental.

The experience

You're renting a new Cayman 585 open boat, 5.85 meters long with a 2.50-meter beam: wide enough for real comfort and stability. The boats carry Yamaha engines from 2022 and hold up to eight people, though no more than six adults. The rental includes an igloo with ice already on board, an awning for sun cover, a shower, snorkeling masks and noodles. A Bluetooth speaker lets you connect your own music. Food and drinks can be pre-booked to arrive on the boat, or you bring your own.

The choice is yours: rent without a license and navigate the coast on your own terms, or add a professional skipper who knows the waters and handles all the driving. If you pick the skipper option, pickup and dropoff happen at one of several coastal towns (Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Amalfi or Positano), so you can start and end wherever suits your day. The rental runs seven hours, and fuel gets added to your bill when you return the boat.
