Board a traditional Amalfitan Gozzo boat with a small group of up to 10 people for a scenic cruise between Amalfi and Positano. Admire dramatic coastal cliffs, ancient watchtowers, and hidden sea caves. Stop to swim, snorkel, or relax at secluded beaches accessible only by boat.
Your tour may begin from either Amalfi or Positano, depending on your selected option at booking (option availability may vary by date). Regardless of where you start, the route covers the same highlights in both directions — only the order of stops will vary slightly.
After a short welcome briefing, you’ll set off along one of the most picturesque stretches of coastline in the world, dotted with natural arches, tiny beaches, and pastel-colored fishing villages clinging to the cliffs.
Throughout the tour, you’ll enjoy several swimming and snorkeling breaks in calm, crystal-clear waters — including stops at sea caves and remote beaches not accessible from land. Snorkeling gear is provided, so you can explore the underwater scenery with ease.
To make the experience even more enjoyable, we’ll serve fresh fruit and drinks on board, including soft drinks, beers, prosecco, and Limoncello — a local favorite.
Among the first highlights (or last, depending on your direction) is Saint Andrew’s Grotto, a vast sea cave filled with stalactites, named after Amalfi’s patron saint. You'll also pass Duoglio and Santa Croce beaches, with a stop near the photogenic Arc of Lovers, a rock formation shaped like two elephants kissing.
Cruising along, you'll admire Conca dei Marini, home to Sophia Loren’s former villa and the iconic Il Saraceno hotel, perched above La Vite Beach. Overlooking this stretch is the beautiful Santa Rosa Monastery, birthplace of the famous local pastry, the Sfogliatella Santa Rosa — a must-try if you're staying in the area!
From there, the boat enters the western basin of Conca, revealing panoramic views of Furore, Praiano, and the Li Galli islands in the distance. You'll stop near the Runghetiello Grotto, a hidden gem with a tiny beach — perfect for a snorkeling or swimming break.
One of the tour’s most striking natural landmarks is the Furore Fjord, Italy’s only natural fjord. Here, the cliffs rise dramatically above the sea, and the bridge overhead is the site of an international diving competition held every July.
You'll also pass the village of Praiano and the mesmerizing Africana Grotto, where the sea glows an intense turquoise due to unique light refraction inside the cave.
As you continue toward the far end of the route, you’ll reach La Porta Beach, a peaceful, boat-access-only spot near Positano, ideal for another refreshing swim.
Whether you start in Amalfi or Positano, the return journey offers a different but equally breathtaking perspective on this UNESCO-listed coastline — a perfect end to an unforgettable experience at sea.
