The experience

You meet the skipper at the Covo dei Saraceni hotel in Positano and board one of three cabin boats (Domitta, Sealiving or ITAMA) each with a hard top for shade and shelter. The boat leaves the dock and heads along the Praiano coastline, where dramatic cliffs and seaside villas catch the last golden light. The pace is unhurried. There is room to move around the deck and take photos as the sun begins its descent.

The route passes the Li Galli Islands, the mythical home of the sirens in Greek mythology, where you can linger for photos. Then comes the Fiordo di Furore, one of the Amalfi Coast's most recognizable landmarks: a narrow fjord with a historic fishing village and a famous bridge suspended high above the water. By this point the light has shifted to deep orange and pink, and the skipper slows so you can take in the full scale of it. Snorkeling equipment is on board if you want to jump in at any point. Life jackets are provided for everyone.

As the sun dips lower, you settle on deck with a complimentary aperitif: chilled Prosecco, beer, soft drinks and local snacks. Water and towels are included. The boat turns back toward Positano, and by the time you return to the dock, the coastline lights are beginning to sparkle against the darkening sky. The whole outing runs 1.5 hours from start to finish.
