Combine a traditional gozzo cruise with time ashore in three of the Amalfi Coast's best known towns. From Sorrento you sail toward Amalfi, continue by minivan up to hilltop Ravello, then return by boat with a stop in Positano before the coastal run home.
The morning begins at Parcheggio Comunale Achille Lauro on Via Correale in Sorrento. After a short transfer to the marina you board a traditional gozzo and head east along the cliffs toward Amalfi, with coastal views opening as you leave the Sorrento Peninsula behind.
In Amalfi you have free time to walk the cathedral square, browse the lanes or simply sit with a coffee overlooking the harbour. A minivan then climbs to Ravello for another hour among villas, gardens and wide sea views before you return to the boat.
The afternoon sail continues to Positano for free time among the terraced streets and beachfront before the return cruise to Sorrento. The day is paced for sightseeing rather than rushing, with room to adapt slightly to sea conditions.
This day unfolds along the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast, where steep limestone cliffs drop to clear water and colourful towns cling to the slopes. Seeing the coastline from a small boat gives a calmer view than the busy road above.
Sorrento sits on the southern rim of the Bay of Naples and makes a practical base for Amalfi Coast days by sea. Meeting at Achille Lauro keeps the start simple before you reach the marina.
No boating experience is needed. A skipper handles navigation and docking while you enjoy the ride and time ashore.
You should be comfortable with short walks on uneven streets and some slopes in Ravello and Positano. Infants sit on laps; a stroller is workable for flatter parts of the towns.
Mixing boat and minivan time means you reach hilltop Ravello without giving up the coastal perspective between towns. Free time in each stop is yours to use, rather than a fixed guided walk through every street.
Small-group numbers keep the boat manageable and the shore stops easier to enjoy. The route is a full coast day without needing to organise ferry tickets or parking in each town yourself.
Meet at Parcheggio Comunale Achille Lauro on Via Correale in Sorrento, then transfer to the marina. Once everyone is aboard the gozzo, the skipper briefs the group and you cast off toward the Amalfi Coast.
The early stretch follows the Sorrento shoreline before the cliffs open toward Amalfi, with time to settle on deck and take in the first views of the day.
Arrive in Amalfi by boat for about an hour ashore. Walk up toward the cathedral steps, explore the lanes around Piazza del Duomo, or linger by the waterfront.
This stop is self-guided so you choose whether to focus on the historic centre, a coffee break, or simply watching harbour life before the land transfer inland.
A minivan takes you from Amalfi up to Ravello for around an hour among gardens, terraces and wide coastal views. Many guests walk toward Villa Cimbrone or Villa Rufolo viewpoints, or browse the quieter hilltop streets.
After free time you return by road to Amalfi to reboard the boat for the Positano leg.
Sail along the coast to Positano for about an hour ashore among the terraced lanes, boutiques and Spiaggia Grande waterfront. When free time ends you board again for the scenic cruise back to Sorrento.
The return is a chance to watch the cliffs from the water as the day winds down and you step off at the marina.
Meet at Parcheggio Comunale Achille Lauro on Via Correale in Sorrento (postcode 80067). This municipal car park is a short ride from the marina where you board the gozzo for the Amalfi Coast leg.
Public transport and taxis serve central Sorrento easily. Arrive early enough for an 8:15 style morning meet so the transfer to the port stays relaxed. Confirm the exact meet time on your booking confirmation.
You meet at Parcheggio Comunale Achille Lauro on Via Correale in Sorrento. From there the team takes you to the departure port to board the gozzo for the Amalfi Coast.
Arrive a little early so there is time to check in calmly before the morning departure and settle any last questions about the day ahead.
The full day runs for about nine hours, including boat time, free time ashore and the land transfer between Amalfi and Ravello.
Exact timings can shift slightly with sea conditions and how busy the towns are on the day, so treat the schedule as a well paced outline rather than a rigid minute by minute plan.
You typically have around one hour of free time in Amalfi, one hour in Ravello and one hour in Positano to walk, shop or stop for a drink.
Your skipper and driver keep the overall schedule moving so all three stops fit comfortably into the day without feeling rushed between boarding points.
No. This is a small-group shared boat experience with a maximum of 15 guests, so you travel with other travellers on the same itinerary.
If you prefer a private charter, ask the team about private gozzo or yacht options before you book so they can point you to a better fitting product.
No experience is required. A professional skipper handles the boat throughout the day, including casting off, docking and reading the conditions along the cliffs.
You only need to be comfortable boarding and moving around on a small boat, and wearing sensible footwear for walking in the towns.
Lunch is not included. Use your free time in Amalfi, Ravello or Positano to eat at a cafe or restaurant of your choice.
Soft drinks and light snacks are often available on board, but a full meal is something you arrange ashore so everyone can choose their own pace and budget.
The team may adjust the route or timing if conditions are unsuitable for the planned coastline run, for example by spending more time in sheltered stretches or shifting free time ashore.
If the day cannot run safely at all, the team will be in touch about rescheduling so you are not left guessing on the morning of departure.
Yes, families are welcome. Infants sit on laps, and a stroller can usually be managed around the meeting point and the flatter parts of town walking.
Steep streets in Positano and Ravello mean you should be ready for steps and slopes with younger children, and to carry little ones where wheels are impractical.
This itinerary focuses on Amalfi, Ravello and Positano rather than Capri or the Blue Grotto, so cave tickets and Capri island free time are not part of the day.
If a Capri cave stop is important to you, choose a Capri boat day instead, where the route is built around the island shoreline and time ashore there.
Bring sun protection, a light layer for the breeze on deck, comfortable shoes for town walking, and cash or a card for lunch ashore.
A swimsuit is useful if you want to paddle at a beach stop in Positano, though the main focus of this day is sightseeing between the three towns.
