You step aboard a low-profile wooden hull as Positano’s cliff-face houses slip aft like a film rewinding. The water shines; the skipper cuts a path past old defense towers and sea caves, and the Li Galli rocks appear like stage props in a myth — wind and current testing the hull’s balance, the Mediterranean daring you to dive.

You step aboard a low-profile wooden hull as Positano’s cliff-face houses slip aft like a film rewinding. The water shines; the skipper cuts a path past old defense towers and sea caves, and the Li Galli rocks appear like stage props in a myth — wind and current testing the hull’s balance, the Mediterranean daring you to dive.
This stretch of coastline was once part of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi, its cliffs carved from limestone and tuff that record millennia of tectonic uplift and coastal erosion. Local fishing villages, from Amalfi’s cathedral-lined piazza to Nerano’s seafood shacks, still follow centuries-old rhythms: daily catch, simple recipes, and boat-built know-how. Geologically, the coast is a line of steep ridges and pocket beaches; biologically, clear oligotrophic seas host Posidonia meadows that sustain local fish and attract dolphins.
Expect a flexible 7–8 hour day: cruising, several swim or snorkel stops, a land break in Nerano for lunch (try spaghetti alla Nerano), and optional late-afternoon dips near Tordigliano. Boats include restrooms and snorkeling gear; small groups (max six) mean the skipper adapts stops to sea state.
Practical guidance: wear reef-friendly sunscreen, bring water shoes for rocky landings, and plan morning pickups from Positano, Amalfi, Maiori or Minori. Seas can be calm or choppy — motion-sickness meds and layered clothing are prudent. Book early in high season and confirm boarding pier the day before. With the right prep, a private day at sea here balances coastal history, crystalline snorkeling, and Italian coastal flavors into one approachable adventure.
Yes—basic snorkeling equipment is included with the tour; you may bring your own mask for comfort.
Snacks, bottled water and alcoholic beverages like Prosecco and beers are provided; lunch in Nerano is at your expense and can be chosen ashore.
Yes—families are welcome, but infants must sit on an adult’s lap and the operator restricts some health and age conditions for safety.
