Snorkeling Amalfi Coast: Private boat with swim stops

Set your own route along the Amalfi Coast and decide where to swim

A private half-day boat tour along the Amalfi Coast where you snorkel at stops you choose with your captain, visiting Praiano, the Fjord of Furore and Conca dei Marini. The boat is reserved for your group alone. A welcome aperitif starts the four-hour journey, and snorkeling equipment, water and snacks are included throughout.

The experience

You arrive at the boat and the captain welcomes you aboard with an aperitif. From there, the itinerary is yours to shape together. The boat moves along the coast past Praiano and toward the Fjord of Furore, stopping for photographs at the most striking spots: the narrow inlet of the fjord, the village of Conca dei Marini clinging to the cliffs, the Marmorata waterfall. Because the boat is private, you are not locked into a fixed schedule. If a cove calls to you or the light is perfect at one stop, you linger.

Snorkeling happens at two dedicated stops where the water is clearest. The captain provides all equipment, and you enter the water at your own pace. Between swims, the boat carries bottled water, sodas and snacks. The four-hour loop gives you time to move without rushing, to float and look, to climb back aboard and dry off before the next photo stop or the next swim.

The boat has a restroom on board. Your captain speaks English or Italian and can answer questions about what you are seeing as you move along the coast: the geology, the villages, the access routes that make these spots so remote from land.

Is this one for you?The guide speaks English or Italian, so you need to follow one of those languages comfortably. Because the boat is private and the route is flexible, this works best if your group can agree on where to stop and how long to stay at each spot: ideal for a family or a small group of friends who want to move at their own pace.
