The bow parts the turquoise like a page being turned; cliffs rise, lemon groves hang on terraces, and the wind off the Tyrrhenian dares you to breathe deeper.

The bow parts the turquoise like a page being turned; cliffs rise, lemon groves hang on terraces, and the wind off the Tyrrhenian dares you to breathe deeper.
This small-group boat trip launches from Positano or Praiano and spends a day tracing the coastline that UNESCO recognizes as an outstanding Mediterranean landscape. You’ll pass Praiano’s low-slung houses, glide by the dramatic Fjord of Furore and skirt Conca dei Marini, where the Emerald Grotto sits behind a narrow sea-mouth. Amalfi — once one of Italy’s powerful Maritime Republics — appears from the water with its cathedral cupola and tight harbor, then the boat slips on toward Atrani, Minori and Maiori.
Geology here is coastal limestone cut by wave erosion into grottos and small fjords; terraces of cultivated soil cling to steep slopes. Culturally, the route threads centuries of seafaring and lemon cultivation — you’ll taste that history in the limoncello served on board.
Practically, expect two swimming stops in clear water, provided conditions allow, and a 2–3 hour onshore window to explore Amalfi on foot. The tour includes masks, beach towels, snacks and a glass of Prosecco plus homemade limoncello; grottos like the Emerald Grotto may charge admission. Check-in is strict (Positano ~9:45am, Praiano ~9:15am) and the boat enforces a smart-casual boarding policy (remove shoes before boarding).
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, non-slip deck shoes, cash for optional grotto entry and a lightweight dry bag. Calm seas make for perfect photos; if the wind rises, expect a bumpier ride and fewer stops. This is a full coastal day designed for travelers who want sea access to places land routes only hint at.
Swimming stops are offered when weather and sea conditions permit; the captain may skip swims for safety reasons.
No — the optional entrance fee to the Emerald Grotto is paid on site and depends on sea access and group consensus.
Yes — infants are allowed but must sit on an adult’s lap and the boat enforces safety rules; strollers can be brought to shore but are not used aboard.
Most small tour boats include a compact marine toilet, but shore stops provide the best restroom access and comfort.
PLAGHIA CHARTER operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
