Private Gozzo Cruise Jeranto 7.50: Amalfi Coast Day Charter to Positano

Set out from Amalfi aboard the Jeranto 7.50, a traditional Sorrentine gozzo that carves a private path along the Amalfi Coast. Departing from Port of Amalfi (LA DARSENA), this six- to seven-hour cruise threads turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea beneath towering limestone cliffs draped in lemon groves and Mediterranean maquis. You’ll stop to snorkel over beds of Posidonia oceanica, sun on broad teak decks, and step ashore at the cliff-clinging village of Positano when you choose. The boat itself balances old-world lines with modern comforts: shaded seating, roomy sunpads, a private toilet and a stocked minibar. A local professional skipper handles navigation and local lore, pointing out hidden coves, sea caves carved in pale limestone, and the slender terraces that mark centuries of coastal agriculture. Small groups — up to seven guests — mean an intimate pace: wander the water with supplied snorkel gear, sip prosecco between swims, or let the captain find an off-the-beaten-route anchorage away from the crowds. Highlights include swimming in clear water with visibility often exceeding ten meters, exploring the vertical village of Positano from the sea, and cruising past historic sights tied to Amalfi’s maritime past. The coastline here is more than scenic; it’s geological: layered Cretaceous limestones folded into sheer cliffs, fractured by wave-cut caves and punctuated by pebble bays. You may glimpse shoals of dorado and amberjack or, on lucky days, pods of short-beaked common dolphins. This private charter works for celebrations, family days, or a slow, uncrowded sightseeing alternative to ferries. Logistics are straightforward: meet at the Port of Amalfi (LA DARSENA), arrive ten minutes early, and bring sun protection and swimwear — towels and snorkel kits are provided. The skipper makes safety calls based on weather and sea state; trips can be adjusted or canceled for comfort and safety. Locally operated, this excursion keeps cruising low-key and respectful of a delicate coastal ecosystem. Ask about customized touches — a photographer, champagne, or a shore visit to Positano — when you book. Whether you want to float in a quiet cove, photograph pastel houses stacked into the cliff, or toast a sunset with a glass of limoncello, the Jeranto 7.50 delivers an unhurried, coastal day that feels authentically Amalfi. Passengers appreciate that the fare includes skipper, fuel, drinks (soft drinks, beer, prosecco, limoncello), a light appetizer and fresh towels, so you really travel light. Small extras such as an on-request professional photographer or floral arrangements make this a favorite for proposals and anniversaries. Demand peaks from May through September, so early booking is wise; cancellations are permitted up to 24 hours before departure, and shore visits are optional. Note: guests should be able to board with minimal assistance — wheelchair access is not available.
