The boat slips away from Positano’s Spiaggia Grande and the village slides aft — pastel houses clinging to the cliff like punctuation. The sea opens, wind and sun working together, and the captain points the bow toward Praiano. You move past the Gavitella cove and the tiny harbor at Marina di Praia; cliffs hover overhead and the current plays at your knees, daring you to jump.

The boat slips away from Positano’s Spiaggia Grande and the village slides aft — pastel houses clinging to the cliff like punctuation. The sea opens, wind and sun working together, and the captain points the bow toward Praiano. You move past the Gavitella cove and the tiny harbor at Marina di Praia; cliffs hover overhead and the current plays at your knees, daring you to jump.
This stretch of the Amalfi Coast carries centuries of maritime history. From the medieval maritime republic of Amalfi to the fishing hamlets tucked between sea and rock, the coastline is shaped by limestone cliffs, sea-eroded arches at Conca dei Marini, and the dramatic gorge of the Fiordo di Furore — the fjord cut into the cliff where a narrow beach hides beneath a stone bridge.
Expect short narrated passages from the skipper, stops for photos, and a clear-water swim break for snorkeling in a sheltered cove. Life jackets and basic comforts are provided onboard for groups capped at 12 people, so the pace stays intimate.
Practical edge: arrive 15 minutes early to check in at the Positano Boats stand; bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and water shoes for awkward ladders and rocky shores. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand — the ride can be choppy in open stretches. The tour runs about four hours, so pack a light layer for wind on the return. Cash is useful for small tips or an espresso when you land back on the beach.
On clear days the water is bright green-blue, the cliffs exhale salt and lemon, and the sea insists you keep moving — whether you’re photographing the bell tower of Amalfi or diving into one more crystalline swim.
Meeting point is Positano Boats at Spiaggia Grande under the blue-and-white gazebo; arrive at least 15 minutes before the 9:00 AM or 2:00 PM departure.
The tour provides life jackets; snorkeling gear is sometimes available — check with the operator and consider bringing your own mask if you prefer a custom fit.
Non-swimmers can participate but should remain on board during swim stops and wear a life jacket; discuss concerns with staff before departure.
If cancelled due to poor weather you will be offered an alternative date or a full refund; cancel at least 24 hours beforehand for a full refund per the operator’s policy.
