Positano Sunset Cruise: Private Boat with Prosecco

A glass of prosecco as the sun hits the water and the coast turns gold.

A private 1.5-hour sunset boat cruise from Positano carries up to 4 passengers along the Amalfi Coast, with a captain who navigates either the Fiordo di Furore and Marina di Praia or the Li Galli archipelago depending on your choice. Prosecco, snacks, towels and soft drinks are included; the boat departs at 6 pm from Spiaggia Grande in Positano, with alternative departure points available in Praiano. The tour runs subject to favorable weather, and you can request an alternative date or full refund if conditions cancel it.

Step-by-step itinerary

Sunset cruise along Amalfi Coast

• Meet at Positano Boats gazebo

• Cruise along Positano coastline
• Pass Marina di Praia village
• See Fiordo di Furore or Li Galli island
• Enjoy prosecco during sunset
• Return to Positano or Praiano

The Experience

You meet the captain under the blue and white Positano Boats gazebo at Spiaggia Grande, the main beach, about ten minutes before the 6 pm departure. The boat holds a maximum of four people, which means no crowds and no schedule built around anyone else's pace. If Praiano suits you better, departures also leave from Marina di Praia at 6:10 pm or la Gavitella beach at 6:15 pm — just let the operator know in advance.

Once underway, you cruise the natural coastline as the light changes, with a glass of prosecco in hand and snacks available. The captain chooses one of two routes: either you pass the fishing village of Marina di Praia and stop at the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord carved into the cliffs, or you head toward Li Galli, a private archipelago, sailing past Testa del Faraone and Punta Germano on the return. Either way, the return journey shows you the same stretch of coast from a different angle — the perspective shifts as the sun moves. The whole outing runs 1.5 hours.

Weather decides whether the tour runs; if conditions turn, you can rebook for another date or take a full refund. Towels are on board, and the price includes water, soft drinks, prosecco, snacks, taxes, fuel and mooring. The captain speaks English or Italian.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want the sunset without the tour boat crowd — four people maximum means the captain adjusts the pace and the stops to what you want to see, and the prosecco comes out when the light is best, not on a fixed schedule.

Top questions

What's the difference between the two route options on this cruise?

One route takes you to the Fiordo di Furore and Marina di Praia, a fishing village on the way; the other heads to Li Galli, a private island archipelago. Both depart Positano at 6 pm and return along the same coast from a different perspective as the light changes.

Can I depart from somewhere other than Positano?

Yes. You can leave from Marina di Praia beach at 6:10 pm or la Gavitella beach at 6:15 pm if you let the operator know in advance. The boat returns to your departure point or, if you started in Praiano, you can get off there when the tour ends.

What's included in the price?

Prosecco, snacks, water and soft drinks, towels, and all taxes, fuel and mooring fees are included. Food beyond the snacks, hotel pickup, and gratuities are separate.

How many people can fit on the boat?

The private boat holds a maximum of 4 passengers, so it's just your group and the captain.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour runs subject to favorable weather conditions. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you can choose an alternative date or receive a full refund.

What time should I arrive for the tour?

Arrive at the Positano Boats gazebo at Spiaggia Grande about 10 minutes before 6 pm departure. If you're departing from Praiano instead, the captain will confirm your exact meeting point when you book.
