The boat slips away from Positano’s pier and the vertical houses slide into a new scale—sea level. Sunlight fractures on the water and the coastline leans in close: cliffs, lemon terraces, and the small mouths of caves that dare you to explore them.

The boat slips away from Positano’s pier and the vertical houses slide into a new scale—sea level. Sunlight fractures on the water and the coastline leans in close: cliffs, lemon terraces, and the small mouths of caves that dare you to explore them.
This small-group cruise follows the classic Amalfi ribbon of limestone and volcanic rock carved by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Guests pause at natural arches, the fishing enclave of Furore with its cliffside fjord, and caves reachable only by a swim. Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) is an optional stop; its iridescent interior is a product of submerged openings that filter daylight into green. Cultural threads run through the day—Amalfi’s maritime history and medieval cathedral squares are visible from the harbor during the scheduled Amalfi stop—and coastal fishing traditions still shape village life.
Expect frequent water stops for swimming and snorkeling in clear, often calm water; access to some grottoes requires a short swim from the boat. The tour runs about seven hours, with a mid-tour dock in Amalfi for walking and lunch. Operators commonly provide life jackets, towels, and a welcome prosecco; entrance to the Emerald Grotto is paid locally (≈€10).
Practical edge: take a seasickness preventative if you’re prone, pack reef-safe sunscreen and swim shoes for rocky shore entries, and bring a light layer for breeze on the return. Boat groups are small—max ~12—so the experience balances conviviality with room to move. Time your booking for morning calm or late afternoon light; both change the coast’s colors and the mood of the sea.
No — entrance to Grotta dello Smeraldo is optional and paid locally (approximately €10 per person).
