What To Expect
Amalfi Coast
Our experience will take place aboard a beautiful sailboat (47ft) off the Amalfi coast on the fabled Mare Azzurro, where we will be exploring many beautiful beaches and places, such as Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Atrani, Amalfi, Praiano, Furore. Feel the warm sun on your face and the wind in your hair. You can go for a swim or just enjoy all the beauty that will be surrounding you on board! We will share a lot of fantastic and exclusive spots reachable only by boat and we'll also have time to taste an Italian aperitif. Optional: at the end of the trip we could bring our guests to one of the exclusive beach restaurants reachable only by boat, where you can eat delicious seafood and local wine. We can help with your transportation pickup and drop off along the coast, if you'll book early I could organize the meeting point in Salerno. Please note Salerno train station is very easy to reach and our base is 15 minutes walking distance from it.
Maiori
Next you will visit the "Pandora's Cave" - a very large cave reachable only by boat. Usually if we are lucky it will also be possible to swim inside in a very deep blue sea! Then we will see the "Dead horse beach" - an unforgettable bay with a cliff overlooking the sea where we usually stop for the aperitif.

5.00This experience is better than U can imagine, not only will U have memories for a lifetime, you will make friends for life. Fabio & Elvira greeted us at the boat with the most beautiful hospitable smiles, it immediately felt like a familiar place. The boat is beautiful and well taken care of, and it actually felt bigger than it was in the pics. When Fabio & Elvira ask U to trust them, just do it. We asked to navigate across Amalfi Coast and to be dropped in Capri. We were on our honeymoon, and they made this experience for us unforgettable. From great local recommendations, to great swimming spots and places to take pictures, everything they gave us was gold. It felt more like a luxury yacht experience, when we left our rooms to get out for a swim, we came back & the room was cleaned & the bed made. They made snacks and provided drinks, & the food was delicious. We mentioned a meal we loved for breakfast from our home, when we woke up the next day Elvira made it for us as a surprise. That was very genuine and touching, and you dont get this kind of care anywhere. It was unbelievable. The beauty of the Amalfi Coast is legendary, and no matter what I say I will not do it justice, especially after seeing it with my own eyes. So to see it correctly, you must see it from the sea. And no will show it to you like Fabio & Elvira would. They are the best hosts you can have, very pleasant and kind, very thoughtful and generous with their recommendations and local information, and with their gestures. They genuinely love and enjoy meeting new people, and when they talk to you and ask you questions about your home or your culture, you can feel the genuine curiosity. And most importantly, they are very kind and respectful, been with them on the boat felt like being with friends you’ve known for years. I highly recommend this experience, and hope we will meet them again in the future to explore more of italy.
Bucket list.. Heavenly and so genuine

5.00There are no words to express their genuine ability to make the amalfi coast even more incredible. My 70 year old mom and my 13 and 15 year old keep saying it’s the best part from Paris to Barcelona to Rome! Absolute must!!!!

5.00This was the highlight of our Italy trip! What an incredible and intimate way to experience the Amalfi coast. The views were breathtaking! Fabio and Elvira were incredible as captain and hostess. They took us to some unbelievable hidden spots along the coast where we got to swim and explore. I cannot recommend this experience enough! We will miss Fabio and Elvira and are still in contact with them. We plan to come back and use them again!
So far beyond our expectations!

5.00This experience was a definite 5/5. They treated us so well and helped my friends birthday so special. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the areas and the interesting things to see. They went shopping for our preferences of snacks and meals and even got us the most delicious birthday cake from Amalfi. It was truly amazing and more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you both so much ❤️
Visit to the Amalfi Coast for a couple's holiday.

5.00My wife and I booked a day trip with Fabio and Elvira as part of our honeymoon trip. They took us down the amalfi coast to see all the towns from the water, they also took us to two great swimming spots and a wonderful little restaurant for lunch, as well as providing us some snacks and prosecco on the boat. The views were amazing and both Fabio and Elvira were very friendly and fun to talk to! They told us about all the sights we were sailing near, and also gave us recommendations for other things to do while on our trip. They made the logistics very easy, and also helped us arrange a car transfer to get to the port. Overall it was a highlight of the trip and I highly recommend this experience to all! Thanks again Fabio and Elvira!

5.00Amazing experience sailing along the Amalfi Coast! This is our second time sailing with Fabio and Elvira and we plan to do it again. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. The views were incredible, and we loved swimming in hidden coves. Lunch on board was delicious and fresh; Elvira should have her own restaurant!! Such a relaxing way to see Amalfi and Positano—highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Unforgettable!

5.00What an unforgettable day! I had the best time sailing along the coast on Fabio’s boat. Fabio and Elvira are such amazing hosts and made the whole experience feel so special. We stopped at a few spots to swim, and Elvira’s homemade lunch was honestly the best meal I’ve had in Italy. Couldn’t recommend this enough!
Unforgettable experience - highly recommend!

5.00Do not hesitate to book this sail boat ride. I was initially wanting a traditional grotto boat, after this experience I would 100% recommend a sail with Fabio over a traditional grotto boat or motor boat in general as this is a unique and elevated experience, and the grotto boats are very touristy and “kitschy”. This was peaceful, tranquil, luxury at its finest. We took a private sail because of availability, and we were also worried about the cost. It was worth every single penny, and more honestly. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We felt like high class celebrities. Fabio and Elvira were the best hosts, very friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy, relaxed, generous, kind, and we really actually enjoyed being around them and felt they were friends by the end. Directions were super easy to follow, both Fabio and Elvira speak seamless English. They use texting to communicate and if you book private they will customize itinerary for you. We sailed west past several towns, swam, had several snacks and drinks including espresso in the morning, Prosecco and grappa in the afternoon, saw several great “tourist trap” sites and amazing fish, had an amazing lunch at a seaside restaurant. We didn’t want the experience to end! Truly amazing and highly, highly!!! Recommend to others. Don’t hesitate to book, and get excited for an unforgettable and really special experience. Thank you Fabio and Elvira!!
Amazing trip and crew

5.00We booked a private boat tour incredibly last minute (the day before). Fabio was amazing to work with on scheduling and getting our trip planned. We were staying in Napoli so we departed from Salerno. Fabio and Elvira provided for a great experience and were incredibly knowledgeable about the area having grown up sailing these waters. We departed at 9:00 and cruised along the coast stopping several places to go swimming and a great stop for lunch. Our kids (16 and 10) said it was the highlight of our entire trip! I would highly recommend them for a private trip.
