Itinerary
Your day begins at 8:15 AM at the entrance of Parcheggio Achille Lauro in central Sorrento, where your driver will meet you and accompany you to the port. After check-in, you'll board a comfortable boat with a small group of fellow travelers — ready to explore the coast in style.
As you sail away, admire the colorful fishing village of Marina Grande, still rich with old-world charm.
Glide past the ancient Roman ruins near Bagni della Regina Giovanna.
Spot the hidden Mitigliano waterfall, cascading straight from the cliffs into the sea.
The boat will also pass by the wild and protected beauty of Baia di Ieranto, nestled within the Punta Campanella Marine Reserve.
Before reaching the Amalfi Coast, enjoy a refreshing swim near the mythical Li Galli Islands, once believed to be home to the sirens in Homer’s Odyssey. Dive into crystal-clear waters and take in the view of the untouched archipelago.
Continue cruising along the legendary Amalfi Coast, where every bend reveals postcard-worthy scenery. Pass by the charming villages of Nerano and Praiano.
Admire the dramatic Fiordo di Furore, one of Italy’s only fjords carved into the coastal cliffs.
Dock in Amalfi and enjoy free time to explore this historic maritime republic. Visit the grand cathedral, sample a local lemon granita, or simply wander the narrow alleys lined with artisan shops.
Next, stop in Positano, the most iconic town on the Amalfi Coast. Known for its colorful cliffside houses and vibrant beach scene, you’ll have time to explore boutiques, enjoy a gelato, or snap the perfect photo from one of the scenic terraces.
Throughout the day, you’ll be served a light lunch featuring a Caprese sandwich (mozzarella, tomato, basil, and EVOO), and a small sweet treat. Water and soft drinks are available throughout, and there’s time to relax between stops with views that never get old.
After a final toast and maybe one last swim, you’ll cruise back toward Sorrento, arriving in the late afternoon — sun-kissed, relaxed, and with unforgettable memories of the coast.

Pick up was slightly late which got us a little nervous wondering if we were in the right place and we seemed to be waiting a while for our boat, as did everyone else. However, everything following this was the best experience ever! Our captains were fantastic and really looked after my Mum when she felt a little queezy. They went the extra mile for us. The boat was high spec, great music. My kids loved the swim stops and we had just enough time in each place. It really was perfect! It’s a must book with company “you know.”
I had a wonderful time! The captain was very informative with the history of the different islands. we stopped at. I highly recommend.
We had an absolutely incredible day exploring Amalfi and Positano! Luca and Francesco were an amazing crew—friendly, professional, and so welcoming from start to finish. Their hospitality made us feel completely at home, and they made sure every part of the day was perfect. The highlight was the fantastic swim in the crystal-clear water, along with the stunning coastal views. If you’re looking for a memorable day on the Amalfi Coast, this is the trip to book. Thank you, Luca and Francesco, for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing experience, our captain Raffy was great , very knowledgeable and funny, plenty of drinks on board. Pickup from Napoli also possible , with a comfortable minibus, an absolute must if you are in the area.
This was a lovely way to see the Amalfi Coast. My granddaughter (age 25) and I took the tour's bus from Naples to the boat in Sorrento and then went south and back north again. Beautiful day, plenty to eat (sub sandwich) and drink (water, colas). I was the only person (at age 76) above 35 on our tour and spent much of my time in the back in the shade. Most others were sprawled on the front deck per the photo...not a comfortable position for me to get into or out of. We had about 30 minutes in each town - time which we spent in the sea. The towns are on such an incline that had we wanted to wander to the "top" to see what was there, we wouldn't have had time once we got there to do anything but turn around and return to the ship. Others were more adventurous and wandered far and wide. We did manage to get lemon ices in two of the towns!! served in the whole lemon which are not to be missed...be prepared to be sticky or dunk in the sea to clean off. Additionally the boat made a swim stop off shore where we all jumped off the boat into the sea and swam for 20 minutes or so. Very refreshing and everyone participated - even me. Would highly recommend this trip. I used spray sunscreen and missed several areas which were pretty well burned by the end of the day. SO beware.
This boat tour was perfect and all day at sea, and we had a fabulous time with the captains. There was not enough prosecco but there was lots of limoncello.
We booked this as part of our honeymoon and it was an amazing part of the trip. We had so much fun and loved every second of the experience. The stops in Positano & Amalfi were great because we didn't feel rushed and had time to explore two other cities we wouldn't have otherwise seen. The snacks, lunch and drinks were a great touch. The amount of people on the boat was also the correct amount to not feel crowded but have some other people to interact with. At the end of the day, swimming in the Mediterranean was the moment of a lifetime.
Excellent way to view the Amalfi Coast and the towns of Amalfi and Positano. The boat captain and first mate were awesome. Fun, knowledgeable about the towns and very accommodating. Our swimming was limited to one stop as the water was very choppy. No one’s fault. Just Mother Nature at work.
So much fun! Gaetano, Giovani were fantastic! Will definitely book again! Worth every penny!
