The experience

The boat leaves Molo Darsena in Amalfi and runs the full length of the coast for six to seven hours. You stop to swim and snorkel at spots the captain chooses based on conditions and your preferences, and the caves (Runghitiello, Devil, Sailor and Pandora) come into view as you move along the water. The Fiordo di Furore, a narrow inlet cut into the cliffs, is the kind of place you pass by car and never see. From the boat it opens up entirely.

Lunch happens on your schedule at a restaurant with a sea terrace, so you're not eating on a fixed timeline. The captain handles the boat and the route. You decide when to jump in the water, how long to linger at each cave, and whether to snorkel or just float. Soft drinks, water and alcoholic beverages are on board. The tour swings past Positano, Atrani, Minori and Maiori on the way back to Amalfi, so the full arc of the coast moves past you in a single day.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24h before the start.

What's the Fiordo di Furore actually like from the water?

The Fiordo di Furore is a deep inlet carved into the cliffs where a small stream meets the sea. From the boat you can see the narrow opening and the steep rock walls that frame it, and the captain can take you close enough to see the small houses built into the cliff face above the water.

How many caves do you actually enter on this tour?

You pass four named caves (Runghitiello, Devil, Sailor and Pandora), and the captain takes the boat inside them so you see the rock formations and the way the light plays on the water inside. You can swim at some of the stops depending on conditions.

Where does lunch happen and who decides when?

Lunch is at a restaurant with a sea terrace along the coast, and you choose the timing. The captain works around your schedule, so you're not locked into a fixed meal time.

Is this tour suitable if I've never been on a boat before?

The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels and the boat is a traditional Gozzo Sorrentino, a stable wooden fishing boat. The captain handles all navigation and you simply enjoy the route and the stops.
