Mobile ticket

You will never see the Amalfi Coast like this! You will discover the Amalfi Coast’s hidden delights and breathtaking views from a typical Amalfitan Gozzo boat, thanks to the comprehensive experience and knowledge of local captains and in a very small group (max 10 participants)!

The route to Positano will take us along Amalfi’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast.

We will pause at beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters and into grottos (snorkeling equipment provided by us).

Our boats are 10 to 12 meters (33 to 40 feet) Amalfi Coast "Gozzo", a very evocative and spacious type of boat original of this area and used by locals since ancient times.

All boats have a little bathroom that can be used in case of necessity during the breaks.

What To Expect

Amalfi

Once everybody has jumped on board and had a little briefing about how we're going to spend the day, we will be ready to set off to the west towards Positano. The route will take us along Amalfi Coast’s finest beaches as well as close to natural rock arches and into sea caves, giving us the opportunity to admire the old watch towers that dot the entire length of this coast. We will pause at beaches reachable only by sea and have time to go snorkeling or swimming in crystal-clear waters and into grottoes. Not too far from the starting point, right after leaving the center of Amalfi, we will get close to the Saint Andrew Grotto, a huge natural sea cave full of stalactites named after the patron saint of Amalfi (Andrea). Then, once passed Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, we will stop by the "Arc of Lovers", a natural rock arch created millions of years ago by the erosion of the sea whose shape recalls two elephants in the act of kissing. Up to not too long ago young couples used to get married on the top of it. A little later we will cruise in front of the ancient fishermen village of Conca dei Marini, passing near the villa of Sophia Loren and seeing the historic hotel “Il Saraceno” located on La Vite Beach.

An unforgettable afternoon exploring the Amalfi Coast. A special thank you to our tour guide Vincenzo, who was friendly and knowledgeable. He was fantastic with our five year old son, who is autistic and made him feel really special all afternoon, something we were so grateful for. Vincenzo is a credit to the company. The views from the boat were stunning and we were provided with snacks and drinks throughout the tour. Would recommend to anyone!
A fun morning on the water!

Spent a very fun morning out on the water seeing the Amalfi Coast! The location was perfect and there was no lack of beverages or fresh fruit. Our captain was a great host. The only improvement I would suggest would be regarding the quality of the masks… all of ours were so scratched up it was hard to see anything. Otherwise, everything was great!
A wonderful way to explore the Amalfi Coast

We had an amazing time on this Amalfi Coast boat tour! It was an easy start with the orange umbrella end check in easy to find. Our captain was fantastic—friendly, with knowledgeable stories about the coastline’s landmarks. The music set the perfect mood, and the cool drinks kept us refreshed throughout the trip. A half-day on the water was just the right amount of time to soak up the sun and take in the stunning views. Longer and we would have probably gotten sea sick. The boat was stocked with snorkel masks and pool noodles, though snorkeling wasn’t the highlight—visibility was a bit murky and the area was crowded, so we didn’t see any marine life. The experience overall was unforgettable and a wonderful way to explore the Amalfi Coast!
Beautiful!

We did the 9:30am half day excursion; it was absolutely worth every minute. It gives you the perfect opportunity to see multiple towns, and swimming spots along the coast, our captain Nick was incredible; very informative and interactive!
