Skirt the stunning Amalfi coast, stopping to explore the most scenic stretches and villages, on this small-group day cruise from Positano. Drift leisurely along the southern Italian coast, marveling at the dramatic views.

Stop intermittently to swim and snorkel, then enjoy free time in Amalfi or go up to Ravello (calculate 30min bus ride oneway). With a maximum of 12 people on board, you’ll enjoy an intimate experience.

This was our favorite activity in Positano, we loved the skipper (Franco) and met some wonderful people on our small group tour. The group is the perfect size, and we were able to stop at Amalfi, swim, have lunch at a boat only restaurant, and stop at the emerald grotto. Amazing experience!!

This tour was actually beyond perfect. Wonderful weather, a FANTASTIC guide (Gianfranco), and stunning views. You cannot ask for more. Gianfranco even gave the group recommendations on their upcoming travel plans based on our interests. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Would highly recommend this tour. It’s so great to see this area from the water. We had an hour in the town of Amalfi, which was great. Some stayed 3 hours. We opted for lunch at a restaurant you could only get to by boat. Then had additional time to lay in the sun and swim if we wanted. We stopped a few times to swim from the boat. There were plenty of options for drinks and snacks on the boat.

We had a great time! The crew was welcoming, knowledgable and accommodating. And by lunchtime, our tourmates from all parts of the world had bonded over the shared experience of pressing on despite the drizzly, cool day. All in all, a wonderful day.

We had the best day. Carlo, our captain, was great - charismatic and knowledgeable. The scenery along the Amalfi coast was beautiful. The timing of the day was just right.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Amalfi Coast Boat Tour This was such a fun and memorable boat ride along the Amalfi Coast! The small group size made it feel personal and gave us a chance to meet some great people. The skippers were excellent — friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was comfortable. They even provided drinks and snacks throughout the trip. It was the perfect way to take in the beautiful coastline and enjoy the Amalfi experience from the water. Highly recommend!
