Spend a day along the Amalfi Coast combining time in Positano and Amalfi with coastal cruising and swim stops in clear water. This experience is designed for small groups who want to explore the coastline from the sea while also spending time ashore in two of its most well-known towns. The itinerary is flexible and managed by a skipper so the pace of the day can adapt to your group.
The day begins at the marina where you meet your skipper and board the boat before heading out along the Sorrento coastline. Early sections of the route pass landmarks such as the Roman villa at Bagni della Regina Giovanna and the shoreline around Nerano, offering a calm start before the coastline opens towards Amalfi.
As you continue along the coast, the scenery shifts to steep cliffs and colourful villages. The first main stop is Positano, where you have time ashore to walk through the narrow streets, browse local shops or take in the views from the hillside. There is also the option to stop for lunch at a waterside restaurant if you wish.
The journey then continues towards Amalfi, where you can explore the historic centre, including the cathedral and surrounding streets. Time here is flexible, allowing you to wander at your own pace before returning to the boat.
Swim stops are included throughout the day in sheltered coves selected based on conditions. These allow time to snorkel or swim in clear water before continuing along the coastline. The return to Sorrento is relaxed, with time to unwind on deck as the coastline comes back into view.
