Private Amalfi Coast Boat Tour: Li Galli, Positano & Amalfi

Summary

Swim, Explore & Dine: Full-Day Amalfi Coast Boat Adventure

You’ll swim in crystal-clear waters off Li Galli Island, wander Positano’s lively streets, enjoy fresh seafood at a beachfront restaurant in Conca dei Marini, and discover hidden coves—all with a flexible local skipper who makes every stop feel special.

What’s the experience like?

The sea was calm that morning—just a hint of salt in the breeze as we left the dock. Our skipper waved us aboard with a grin and handed out chilled bottles of water. Within minutes, we were gliding past rocky cliffs toward Li Galli, that little archipelago you always see in postcards. The water there? It’s so clear you can spot silvery fish darting around your toes. I slipped in for a swim and could hear nothing but my own splashing and the distant hum of another boat.

If you’re not up for swimming at Li Galli, no worries—you can head straight to Positano instead. We did both. The skipper was easygoing about timing; he even pointed out a tiny beach only locals seem to know about near Tordigliano. Later, we stopped at Conca dei Marini for lunch right on the sand at La Tonnarella. The scent of grilled seafood drifted over from the kitchen while we sipped prosecco and watched kids chase each other along the shore. In Amalfi, our guide led us through narrow alleys to Sant’Andrea Cathedral—its striped façade looks almost unreal up close. On the way back, limoncello shots appeared as if by magic, just as the sun started dipping behind the hills.
