Board a classic Gozzo and trace the cliff‑strewn Amalfi Coast from Sorrento to Positano and Amalfi. Swim, snorkel, and explore seaside villages on a private, full‑day charter with an English‑speaking skipper.
You step onto the varnished wood of a 36‑ft Gozzo as the harbor exhales sea air and a skipper trims the lines. The water pulls you away from the cliff‑held towns and into a coastline where limestone cliffs drop vertically into blue that dares you to dive. The boat hums, the skipper points to a distant Saracen tower, and the morning light makes the cedared slopes and pastel houses glow.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step onto the varnished wood of a 36‑ft Gozzo as the harbor exhales sea air and a skipper trims the lines. The water pulls you away from the cliff‑held towns and into a coastline where limestone cliffs drop vertically into blue that dares you to dive. The boat hums, the skipper points to a distant Saracen tower, and the morning light makes the cedared slopes and pastel houses glow.
This stretch of coastline was shaped by tectonic uplift and marine erosion; Roman villas and medieval watchtowers pepper its history. The Maritime Republic of Amalfi once rivaled Genoa and Venice—its trade routes and cathedral cloisters still mark Amalfi town. Geologically, calcareous cliffs and narrow coves create pockets of calm water and dramatic swim spots; the Punta Campanella marine reserve protects seagrass meadows beneath the surface.
Culturally, lunches center on fresh fish, lemons and simple pasta; songs and small‑boat traditions remain alive in the ports. The day itinerary typically includes stops at Puolo, Bay of Ieranto, Li Galli islets, Positano and Amalfi with time to swim, snorkel and wander ashore.
Practical guidance: book a morning departure to avoid afternoon winds, bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a light wind jacket for open water. Hotels in Sorrento often include pickup; from Positano or Naples meet at the port. The tour is private and customizable—ask your skipper about quieter coves for swimming and the best windows for photography. Expect a relaxed day with multiple short shore visits and ample time to swim and eat locally.
